What is your Biggest Pet Peeve

Guys who have "been around guns their whole life" and think that automatically gives them some credibility or knowledge. Guess what guy, I've been eating food my whole life but that doesn't make me an expert on nutrition or food. It's easily possible that you've been taught WRONG shit your whole life so calm dafuq down, pay attention, lose the ego, and you just might learn something.

Kind of like a guy I met a while back who showed me pictures on his phone of all his AR's, all of which were decked out completely, he had like 5 guns and all of them were bad ass, looked like SFOD-D or Devgru guns with AN/ PEQ laser designators, ACOGS, ELCAN, Eotech holographic sights with 3x magnifier, surefire weapon lights with remote tape switches, sopmod stocks, vertical foregrips and suppressors and custom painted. One was a Mk18 mod 0 with a Mk IV scope, Harris bipod and painted in a desert tan. Then I found out that they were all airsoft guns a few weeks later!

Looking on YouTube for something I'm researching to buy, and getting thru the "review by" production info, only to find out its ****ing airsoft.

Hey asshole! That's NOT an ACOG!!!

Punisher skulls. They are the Orange County Choppers of the AR world.

People who start a thread about wanting advice to get their first AR, 15+ experienced and respected forum members who know what they are talking about post advice about what is good, and what to avoid, just to have the same noob show up 2 days later with a post "My first AR - Bushmaster (or DPMS/Olympic/DelTon/any other bottom feeder)"

People who defend said bottom feeders because theirs has been flawless for the last 8+ years and 1500 rounds.

People bragging about accuracy of their rifle because it will hit an 8" plate all day at 100 yards.

3 shot groups (already mentioned) are all you need to show accuracy.

ETA People who harsh on battery powered optics for SHTF and TEOTWAWKI because availability and/or the battery fails, when the battery will outlast their ammo supply.

Its the same with duck hunting loads and chokes.

You do know that, here in 2015, there are some that actually do work out of short barrels. This ain't the 90's Scott.

Obama =)

for real though Air softers! check out this link of a dude that gets shot point blank and loses his cool and cry's about it, then imagine if he had a read gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOotTRkoFs8

People who call firearms "Platform" i.e., the AR platform, etc. I don't care if you're some super, uber delta specop commando it's a carbine or a rifle, it's not a platform. And don't bother trying to tell me different because I've heard it all before. The whole platform, tactical, modular thing is way overused and when someone says one or more of those words I just tune them out. It's like nails on a chalkboard.

Cheap people and the "just as good as" crowd which goes hand in hand. They're also the same people who will say, "there is only a handful of companies making AR parts and everyone just buys from these companies and then adds their brand name." I know people who ask my advice on a AR purchase and then buy junk. They make more money than I and have more disposable income yet will turn around and buy the cheapest AR and say I don't see the difference between your BCM and my junk AR. This is after I've spent time informing them on the differences between a quality AR you can go to war with and one that's going to take a shit on you at the range. I've read it on the forums as well.

The fools at the public range, which I seldom visit, that see me pull out an AK at the 300 yard range and say you should be at the 50. That's when I remove the Aimpoint and hit the target using only the iron sights. They see my hits through their spotting scope and most never say another word. Some have even packed up and left.

People who say the M14 and FAL are old and outdated like if I shot them with one of those rifles they'd still be standing unharmed. If I had to go to war today and could only have an M14 or FAL I wouldn't hesitate nor would I be concerned that my rifle is outdated.

The lightweight crowd. I hate them as much as the "just as good as" crowd. They have to know the weight of everything from rails to sights in their quest to find an AR that weighs nothing. Most of them will never carry their AR any farther than from their vehicle to the range and back.Give me a break, yeah I get the whole weight thing and you can only hump so much, I've been there and done that. You think an AR is heavy, HA !

People crying about the recoil of an AR, give me a break !

Or a tangent of the above.... the guy whose brotbers uncles cousin was in "the sand box" and discarded hi M4 because it was crap and the 5.56 didn't "put them down". Once he picked up an enemy AK47 he was walking death incarnate.

Or how the 5.56 fails to go through any cover used by the enmey. I recently had a thread on another site where a guy said that a single magazines worth of 7.62 NATO from an M14 would penetrate a wall and kill the guy behind that 300 rounds from a M16 couldnt.

Hmm, sounds like the guy I heard who was claiming that an AK was a great sniper system and that VC snipers used them to kill US servicemen in Vietnam at 1500 meters on a regular basis. Or the guys, in general, who claim the AK will run FOREVER!!!!! because it is an AK, yet have never run more than 2k through their WASRs but claim that an AR15 will burn out a barrel in 2k rounds. So I suppose my biggest pev are people who pull shit out of their ass and don't know shit about shit. Quite truly just because you've been around guns for 30 years doesn't mean you know anything ****ing thing, and if you do, there is the real chance that your info is so outdated to be useless. Guy who like to preface their bitching about anything I own with the "Back when I was your age." Hey, bub, your 30 plus years older than I am. Think shit might have changed a bit?

The just as good or better than crowd also piss me off. I'm talking about the guys who want to claim that their shit is better because they paid less for something that looks like the same thing I have(No your POS ACOG lookalike red dot from POSTAR is not better than my ACOG because it had multiple reticule color options, now shut up and go away), or who paid more for a POS and need to stroke their ego(No your DPMS sportical is not better than either of my BCMs, and no Delta did not use them to kill bin laden, and no just because you took it up the ass with no lube and paid $3k for it doesn't make it better then my BCM that with Scout, Acog, Larue rail, and other accessories I have less in it total than what you paid.).
