Why do we hold our equipment to a much higher standard than we hold ourselves?
Because our equipment is worth something
What do you mean? Why are worthless fatasses gun owners?

Speak for yourself faggot. My rifle can't make decisions, I can.
>>30196178
Well I don't think we'll be getting a better answer than that.

>I’ve always found it a little amusing what the gun community at large typically focuses on when it comes to self-defense. We champion our preferred ammo for its ballistics-gel performance, and largely we accept nothing less than absolute reliability of our carry gun, be it after 1,000 rounds without a cleaning or sometimes even caked in sand and mud. If we’re being honest though, we hold our equipment to a much higher standard than we hold ourselves. The problem is that no matter what brand of gun you carry, it isn’t going to get you safely out of a bind on its own. Unfortunately, it isn’t often that you come across the opportunity to put the time and effort into developing the software to go along with the hardware. Perhaps that’s due to the relative obscurity of broad-spectrum training in the face of whiz-bang shooting courses promising to make you laser accurate and lightning fast in a weekend.

Because you can buy stupid shit at a click of a button.
Can't buy fitness, mindset and skills that easily.
I think it is a lack of focus. We spend our time making money to buy gear so we want the best out of it. We should be spending time investing in ourselves through training but that would require commitment. Bitching about how our expensive gear let us down is easier.

speak for yourself fatty
>>30196542
I'm not fat, though I'm not in nearly good enough shape and I'm only good at target shooting so yeah, my guns are a stronger link in the chain than my self.
>>30196174
You sound like a fgt
>>30197097
I'm sure your new SCAR makes you an elite operator, anon.
>>30196174
Because then you know that any fuckups are operator failure and not mechanical malfunction.
I do this all the time. I buy expensive tools, and if I fuck up I know I was doing something wrong.
It's very liberating.
