Weapons discounted the differences between "average joe" and "trained shooter" have more to do with skill set, purpose and technical knowledge, a "trained shooter" can get more out of a "crap" weapon and "average joe" can turn a ferrari into a yugo.......... Mindset, purpose, and expectations are key differences.
Now a trained shooter with good working knowledge of the weapon system can put together a gun that will outperform anything in the government inventory, the after market has put forth considerable money into research and development and pushed the design to levels that were not possible 20 years ago.
That being said, anyone can do the research and learn what makes for good, better, and best components and with a decent budget can assemble a top notch weapon, the key is getting the training to get the most out of the weapon you have and then step up from there.
I don't like to bag on anyone, we all started somewhere as untrained, undisciplined kids and Uncle Scrooge beat a new lifestyle and mindset into us. I am competent in my skills, but by no means am I the end all be all at them, there is always room for improvement.
