FUAC !!!
I get a bigger kick out of the guys who have the top of the line gear including their guns and tactical gear but can't shoot for shit!
Or the guys who have a top tier AR but have no friggin clue on how it works. They can however regurgitate the talking points on what they've have read on some internet forum about what makes it it so great though even though they don't really know what any of it means.
Then there's the guy who has more money than sense and thinks buying a $2k+ Noveske will magically make his rifle immune from issues. That's all cool till the moment reality kicks in and he learns that nothing is immune from malfunctions since they're all tools. I've seen that look of amazement many times and it really is priceless.

Honestly, I'm happy they're shooting. I'm even happier if they get gentle encouragement to get training. If they're unsafe or refuse to listen to friendly advice, that's another matter.
When I was a water survival instructor in the Corps, I used to shake my head at people flailing around in the water. Luckily, maturity prevailed and I started saying things like "hey man, mind if I show you a better way?" Worked almost every time.
Brother you just said a mouthful. Spent some time at the range over the summer next to a guy shooting a beautiful KAC SR-25 outfitted with US Optics scope and 175gr FGMM ammo. He was there with a group of folks showing off his tools only to be stunned when his buddy on the spotting scope asked how it was possible the groups I was shooting with my 11.5" SBR and T-1 optic where better than his. Now the look on his face was priceless!!
Double sorry

I try not to, but it's hard to not take notice and make assumptions. Especially when those assumptions are proved accurate more than 50% of the time. So put me in the sinners category with those that rush to judgment. For me, something to improve upon I suppose!
And Grant I brought that SBRd PSA lower to your classes. Maybe add "that lower=cheap bastard" to the list of assumptions![]()

That happened in a class a few months ago. Two Noveske's went T.U. due to issues with the gas tubes coming loose from the gas block. The looks on their faces were priceless. Heart broken is more accurate, but it was disappointing to witness a couple of top notch ARs having identical issues in the same class.
To the OP, I try and make a conscious effort not to judge someones weapon or gear. If they start to mouth off about how it's the latest and greatest, I disengage or move out.
