This is the ideal AR form. You may not like it, but this is what peak gun ownership looks like.
No grenade launcher? How is it supposed to [REDACTED] cop cars??
Average airsoft loadout
I don't like ARs because of the apple-on-the-post iron sights they have and the minor ptsd I have of being forced to clean one manually to perfection for an entire night and morning with nothing but my hands, a torn chunk of shirt, and a box of q-tips. The star chamber was the devil's asshole. My pinky fingers have calluses because of it and it was where I spent the majority of the time cleaning.
7dorkassfish doesn't like it because it doesn't have all the snivel gear on it to coddle the firearm owner.
All you fundamentally need to know is how to use and zero in the iron sights and make consistent groupings at 300m from standing, crouching, prone, and after moving around to get winded, then you'll have more solid foundations to build on and be able to run circles around any gunfucker that only "trains" for making vanity tik tok videos
Still prefer AK platforms.
This new gun culture we have now is not even gun culture anymore, it's just worship of guns as conspicuous consumption objects. Every weapon post is full of disgusting reddit brain comments about how they didn't spend enough unless it's some $10,000 safe queen.
Also apparently the AR15 is a fudd gun now, lmao
What? I'm going to agree with that person. It should have a rail and an optic. And it doesn't cost 10k to get there
My comment is directed at mainstream gun culture at large and not necessarily at this specific instance. My frustraion is with people who's only way to interact about firearms is to talk about upgrades and similar and constantly mention what somone "should have bought" or "should have done" or what they "need to buy". Especially for people's first guns, when they maybe can't come up with the cash to fully outfit their firearm.
I recall there was a comrade who posted that they had bought a Hi-Point, paid for on an installment plan. Many people who had no experience shooting that specific gun or maybe even at all told them in a derisive manner to just get a Glock because it was better, in spite of the fact that Glocks start at between four and six times the price of a Hi-Point.
A guy on Reddit getting asked why he didn't have an ACOG instead of a Primary Arms prism
Guns are part of a system, not the end all be all of your effectiveness in a deadly force encounter.
RIFLE IS FINE. YOU FUCK IT, IT ONLY GET HEAVY AND YOU STILL NO HIT LARGEST SIDE OF BARN. GO TO FIRING RANGE, PRACTICE WITH MANY MAGAZINE OF CARTRIDGE. THEN YOU NOT NEED DUMB SHIT PUT ON SIDE OF RIFLE.
Was shooting a friends kitted out 9mm yesterday. Had a crazy optic, still had to use the rails to hit anything.
This person just turned into a liberal twitter poster after getting banned here? lol
Also, linking your reddit account in your twitter bio is so embarassing
It literally says in the text they're getting an optic for it

I'm not online enough, so 7deadlyfetishes bit poster is now a chud and shitting on leftist gun owners? 
7DF already had this opinion before getting banned, i wouldn't call them a chud just wrong in this instance
Maybe one of the fetishes is self owns
i just wanna say my gun's a Garand and with practice i'm about as good at shooting it as I was when I had an m16 with an acog but shooting it is a lot more fun (although carrying it in a war would suuuuuck)
Is it really an AR-15 if you haven’t added a bunch of unnecessary mods in order to do Seal Team Six LARPing?
I am of the opinion that you should train until you are extremely competent with iron sights before you add an optic to a build
For some people, using any optic is the difference between knowing what you’re shooting at and blind firing. It’s me I’m some people.
I guess that makes sense if you have $0.12 5.56, but even cheap optics are pretty good now and iron sights are far less performant across the board, especially for new shooters or people who don't have time to train extensively. It's a great skill for sure, just putting a counterpoint out there.
Funny enough, the post they're trying to make fun of mentions how they're going to be picking up a sight
