I'm glad people care how their firearm looks, on the range they are the easiest to beat, no doubt in combat they are the easiest to beat too.

A firearm is a tool.

would you buy a new car that looked like a shit box (in your opinion) but ran well

or one that you really liked the look of that worked just fine ?



in short, different people like different things, can we not have this argument AGAIN please

Ah ok, so how 'sexy' or 'cool' a gun looks is what matters.
I obviously wouldn't buy something that was a complete piece of shit because it looked cool, but if I had a choice between two equal guns I'd get one I liked the look of, yes.

If it looks cool and runs shit I wouldn't buy it, thats for sure, there's no such thing as an 'equal' gun, or car.

I haven't shot enough guns to comment on that, but I don't see why it would be any different to anything else in the entire world, including cars.

Its impossible for two manufacturers to make two cars which are 'equal' in every way.

You can argue forever over which is 'better', its subjective, but there is no such thing as 'equal'.

Form follows function. And an object that is completely true to it's function in every detail, has a aesthetic appeal far beyond what mere ornamentation would've given it.

'Cool' or 'sexy' to me is a firearm which does the job better than the next one.

You just rephrased what I said, essentially.

Unfortunately, you're not the only troll in this thread though.

And if you seriously think that's anywhere close to what I was saying, you need to learn to read.

Having a gun doesn't make you cool.
Knowing how to use a gun well, even, doesn't make you cool.
Using a gun on another person - doesn't make you cool.
They are a tool or a hobby - just like a hammer or chisel.

You get to feeling pretty pimp after a few pints of Guinness too, but ya aren't plannin' on becoming a professional drunk, now are ya?

ah..

let me rephrase that.



Like a great many things that can be fun, yet a touch dangerous - Just because it's a bit of fun with an edge, doesn't mean you're Joe Cool or John Rambo.

Women, Alcohol, Motorcycles, Skydiving, Firearms, Explosives... 
Great fun. 
Right up until you start thinking you're a badass that doesn't need to pay attention or play by the rules. 
Then they ruin your little world with a brutal quickness.
