Quoted: Lets review. MWHG posted a pic of his gun with crayons on it and asked "what do you think". When people pointed out that they thought it looked stupid, he gets pissy and posts "I think that an AR with a forward grip, laser light, flashlight, and scope looks like shit".
Now, at this point HE is the one trying to draw a parallel between painting lettering on his receiver and installing an Aimpoint. Sorry, but that one post showed your ass. Then he spends the next 3-5 posts saying that the paint isn't funcional. Get your whine straight.
I enjoy going to training classes and shooting in competitions where things like Aimpoints and verticle foregrips are very helpful. I don't in fact give a rat's ass what the gun looks like, as long as it does what I need it to. I've actually been doing all of this with a plain-jane Bushy Dissipator and a DSA FAL carbine. I've learned from playing these games and training that those "cool looking" accessories are very helpful. If you're just hanging shit off of (or painting shit onto) your rifle simply because you think it "looks cool", why don't you just stick to Airsoft? A Tacpoint "looks cool" just as much as an Aimpoint, but cots about 1/4 as much.
Its still quite obvious what happened here. He got the idea to paint in this shit here on the board and was expecting a much different response than he got, and took to whining when that response came.

Gee, Norm, compared to your rant, his comments are positively pleasant
Relax dude. You want to spend all those bucks for stuff that may get you a few extra hits on the combat course, it's still a relatively free country. Go for it
There are some of us who think that turning a short, light, handy rifle into an akward overweight ill balanced clunker, at a cost of more than the original short, light, handy rifle is as much of a joke as painting the snake red --and a hell of a lot more expensive. But hey, it's your money, and if it makes you happy, go for it. If red snakes make him happy, he should go for it.
I'm sure there are those who think that me building civie versions of every military version of the M16, M4, C7 ever made is a silly waste of money also. So what! Makes me happy.
