There comes a point that all one can do is smile and nod when conversing with an individual that has enormous emotional capital invested in their DPMS, Oly, BM, etc. No amount of evidence to the contrary will sway their opinion.

Over Thanksgiving I was talking with a relative that sang the praises of XD's and DPMS, and preferred the Beretta 96 series over the S&W M&P 40 for law enforcement work.

He was absolutely adamant in his view that DPMS made the best carbines in the world, and because he's never heard of Noveske, BCM, etc, the must be trash.
