At this point in life, I try to buy gear that suits what I am going to use it for. I am not in the special forces, and I don't plan to jump out of any helicopters. I do drive a four dour sedan to work every day while wearing a suit. I choose gear that suits my situation and my AO.
The dude posted by the OP looked well suited to his environment. I'm sure he would have preferred an AK though. |

Actually, people sneer at them because they are shit, and fall apart with marginal use. In this game, you generally get what you pay for. Now, I will say that some things start getting diminishing returns depending on skill. I've got a nice piece of glass on my DM rifle. For my skill level, a $6000 optic wouldn't get me much more, while some guys can actually make that extra money work really well for them. Still, buying a $40 RDS versus an Aimpoint is a no brainer. |

But seriously, I'd be willing to bet that guy would gladly take one of those $1,000 optics if he had either the means to procure one or the ability to mount it. Particularly since, like myself, he appears to have reached the age of "my eyes aren't what they used to be". |

There seems to be two things in play here.

I'm with OP on this one. You guys with your expensive guns and fantasy gear disgust me. This is what a real warrior looks like,
No $500 dollar plate carrier "rig" for him or gucci battlebelt. Just his life preseverer. He doesn't need to accessorize everything in multicam, no gay moral patches, no fancy IR patches. His life preserver is his uniform and it protects him from drowning in case of a tidal wave. Arfcomms operators will be fucked if a tidal wave comes in, they can't swim in all that crap and they will be too distracted by the thought of having any of their gear wet. Not to mention he's got work gloves on not some fancy $100 a pair gloves worn by Travis Hailey. It doesn't get any more pipehitter then wearing work gloves while putting in work. |

I'm confused.
Those guys are carrying around dinged-up non-camo'd POS rifles sans slings or optics because that's all they have. You can bet your ass if you said "Hey Ivan, you can have that SKS... or this KAC with an Aimpoint, DBAL, and other fancy pants gear" there's no way he'd keep the SKS. If you're saying "Tier one shit doesn't make you tier one" then... yeah, sure. That's pretty self evident. But to not have good gear, if you can easily afford it, is kind of foolish, no? |
