I’ll call these the snowflake threads for gunnies. Story time, one class I took with Max Velocity Tactical out of 12 people we had 3 snowflakes, one guy shows up with an M-1 Garand with the usual General Patton platitude, disaster on fire and movement, second guy Century Arms 93 clone nuff said and lastly a guy with an SBR who had the jam of doom in the class. And then we got the porch snipers here dreaming of John Wayne and his Winchester 73 mowin em down.
Git an AR just like the man says and then go train.

As my Drill Sgt pounded in my head so many years ago and remains my tag line today, “More sweat in Training, less Blood in combat.”
One question worth asking in life: "What will get you killed?" As a friend who's an engineer tells me, there are different kinds of knowledge. There's "what you know that you know", which is often based on proven science & engineering, decades of experience, etc. Solid knowledge generally won't get you killed. Then there's "what you know that you don't know" - if you run into that, you'll probably be OK too, because you can often work around it. But my friend says to watch out for something else: "what you don't know that you don't know". It's that last one that'll kill you.
I imagine everyone in that training class (possibly even the instructors) learned a few things that they didn't know that they didn't know...
