I think there's at least six or seven prominent, prolific posters here that own guns, have owned guns, and know guns. My observation is that it's nearly impossible to expound your knowledge on guns because dollars to donuts you are surrounded by people who know them better than you and the vagaries of .223 vs. 5.56 probably don't even interest you, let alone the foreigners that can't quite wrap their heads around why you need an AR-15 let alone three of them. As an example, guns make silly sounds and do silly things on TV because TV ISN'T ABOUT GUNS, it's about drama, and while 99% of the audience doesn't give the first fuck what a Glock sounds like, the other 1% is going to hate your ass regardless of how fucking historically accurate you are.
