  • I honestly cringe whenever people write a college dissertation in the comments trying to straighten out gun facts. One, people need to learn some brevity. Two, it seems like the topic of guns is probably one of the worst offenders for info dumps. I think it’s because weapons are tied to masculinity, and showing that you know about weapons is a subconscious urge to prove your masculinity to others. Even though knowing gun facts in a vacuum isn’t all that impressive nor does it actually prove that you’re masculine or professional or dangerous or however you’d want to interpret it.



  • This meme is old enough that the .45/1911 worship wasn’t even a fudd thing, it was a huge section of the gun community if not the majority. The era of the Para Ordnance double stack being taken seriously and the Springfield TRP Operator being the ultimate combat pistol, at least if you couldn’t afford a Wilson. All sorts of actual high speed guys were turning their noses up at 9mm to get their hands on a .45.
