I am a joe civilian.
Quoted: To those who want the real world excluding the above group, when is the last time you went off a 10 ft wall with your AR? Can you climb a 10 ft wall?
|
Being the biggest poser on this board, I have come off a ten ft wall just earlier this year with my gear and rifle scraping the top of the concrete wall and dragging my balls along with it in a near real world training class. of course I had help getting up there.
Quoted: I get tired of seeing people say you need an ACOG this or an Aimpoint that so you look the real thing.

I look good, that is half of the battle. joking aside, I race SCCA, I run my 95 BMW M3 to the tilt. I use nothing but the best parts in my car. You won't find me buying brakes pads at your local auto parts store becuase you strive to be the best you can be in what ever you take part in. so in having the right equipment is part of the game. I do the same in weaponary. I will take time to learn and use my equipement and go to classes to get the full potential out of my rifle. I will use my rifle, but I don't abuse it. but my term of use and abuse is a big grey area.
Quoted: If you want the real thing join the army marine Corp or Navy and go special forces recon or seal.

Give those men the respect they deserve, Navy SEAL, not seal. there is no special force recon, just Force Recon.
Quoted: Buying an ACOG or a special handguard you can hang a bunch of gear on, forward grips extension rails or flashlights will not put you in the real world.
|
No, it won't, all the equipment added to the gun is value added weight that enhance the performance your fighting ability. that is if you take the time and learn to use the gear.
Quoted: I served my time in the Army in Vietnam and while I was there it was not the real world. Going home was the real world...............

With that, you have my full respect, to survive the hell hole that is the SE Asia is no small feat, I thank you for your sacrifices.
Quoted: As I speak my colt M4 sets in the safe with a C-More tactical. Its for range use. Not the real world.
|
And as I type, I would still recommand against anyone investing in a C-more. much better sight on the market with much higher performance level.
Quoted: The same with the ACOG why pay the price for it when a Leupold will do nicely at 1/2 the cost or less. Because its the in thing to have right. In the real world lol..................

It is not the in thing, I have used ACOG before the military started using them enmass, I had a M4 in 1989 while the rest of the world is still running around with CAR15s. it is not the in thing I am going after, it is the performance the best equipment money buy thing I am going after. while doing so, I try to give my honest opinion to those whom will listen so they can avoid mistakes I have made with my money.
