SHOOTER
This week I got stuck with a 23 year old 'Expert' for about 4 hours that informed me I was 'Obsolete'...
He is a 'Competition' pistol shooter and a supposed 'Expert' on combat handgun tactics.
I know I'm old, nearly 60, and I'm disabled, but I had no idea I was 'Obsolete'.
Glad someone told me... I was under the delusional belief I was still working & making contributions.
I got told that the trusty 1911 was 'Unreliable', and antique, under powered 'Relic' from 'Cowboy Days'.
I got told the M1A/M14/M21 and AR10/SR25 that I like were 'Useless' in a modern battlefield (keep in mind he's a civilian).
He said an M40 would make a nice lamp, but bolt action rifles have no place on a battlefield.
I kept a pleasant tone and asked about his military/combat experience, of which he has none, but said he had seen 'A Lot Of Videos'.
Never been in a war zone, never been in the military, but he does have an 'Honorary' badge from Homeland Security as a rep for a contractor.
I was wondering when the lethality of a 1911, M40, M14, SR25 went to zero?
I'm aware I've been out of the Marines since 1995, have things changed that much?
I was also wondering when actual experience became useless and 23 year olds became 'Experts' in things they didn't study in school and have zero experience in?
