    For instance, look at this pic:


    This is a 416 upper, with DBAL IR laser, EOTech, SOPMOD, SF adaptor, SF M300, etc, etc.

    Would this be classified as Gucci?? No. It would be classified as a "work gun."

    The only thing "Gucci" in that pic is his "Baller Ass" hat.

    Quite honestly it's ****ing retarded to judge someone else's selection of gear. Some guys say an Aimpoint T-1 is not needed, and others draw the line at a PEQ and NODS. Some guys think A2 sights are not needed and the A1's are good enough, etc.

    Quit judging other people's gear, and use what works for you.

    Tacticool, Gucci, etc are crutches for the weak. Discuss it like a ****ing grown man and articulate why something won't work for you. Or better yet, stay in your lane and talk strictly about your gear and why it DOES work for you.

    That's my rant for this AM.

    I ****in love this post!

    Run what works for you and stop looking at other peoples kit... Sometimes sadly it takes trial and error to find what works for YOU!

    It is, but for the mission at hand, the LAV class, the hat was a mission requirement that served a few purposes. Wearing that particular hat would be like running a decked out gun vs plain Jane gun.


    I think the notion of "gucci gun" hasn't made it anywhere here for good reason and has gone by the wayside elsewhere also for good reason.

    I always say what I mean or think to my wife...probably explains the slap to the face or "headache" excuse at night.

    Or have a website that demands posters of the site be articulate in their critiques, rather than juvenile.

    You know, one where we strive to be something other than the mainstream gun sites that foster such phrases as tacticool and gucci....

    Nah, by all means, if someone asks for opinions of their civilian gun and it's wearing a PVS-14 we should call it Gucci.

    Now you remind me of the gun grabbers, Pelosi... Your comment assumes that no civilian would have a legitimate need for a PVS-14. If I were a rancher or homeowner along our southern border I may want one. I am certain there are many cases where civilians may have legitimate needs for one and besides that this is America and if I can afford it I should not have to legitimize my need. I am also certain you did not mean it that way, but that is just how it struck me when I read it.

    To me Gucci meant a gun and or equipment that looked better than it performed. Equipment that looked great, as long as you did not take it to the range, because it would fall apart or fail to function as intended. Something that tries to fill a void that doesn't exist, but looks good doing it.
