What does everyone perceive as Tactical. You always see tactical .22. Or Tactical shotgun. Or Tactical AR. You go on websites, and everything says Tactical in front of it. To me personally Tactical has to with actual tactics. Not what scope, sling, etc. you have on your weapon. Tactics depend on the situation. As civilians We are not clearing buildings, flanking enemy positions, or taking out enemy strong holds. We are protecting ourselves, our property, and or families. Now before a flame war erupts. I'm all for people equipping themselves and their weapons. With whatever gear they want, like, or see fit to have. I just do not understand why the word Tactical has to be associated with a lot of gear, clothing, and accessories, etc.! Again just wanting other peoples point of view on the subject!

I agree 100% with that comment.
"tactical" is a term marketers use to give orgasms to those guys that may or may not have taken a couple classes, shoot targets on their days off, talk incessantly about how they would handle an intruder, or mugger, or any other mope on internet forums, and buy up any military surplus gear they can find so that they can impress their wives, buddies, or pets with how...wait for it..."tactical"...they are. they also may or may not post numerous youtube videos of them being "tactical", or telling you how to be "tactical".
on that note, i love the **** out of my tactical shotgun.

Its meant to imply the weapon or equipment is designed or modified to make it easier to employ such tactics. However the term is highly over used and used to sell B.S. more than define its type. I hate hearing it to be quite honest with ya.
I agree with you. Like when people call a .22 tactical. Because it has a pistol grip stock, scope, and a threaded barrel. Or you will see two of the same rifle. Lets say a varmint model .223 bolt action. One will have a non mil-dot scope, and factory stock. It's not called Tactical though. Take the same rifle. Add a mil-dot scope, change the stock, and add some scope covers. Then all of a sudden it's a Tactical rifle. I have seen products that where called Tactical. They where over priced, and they where junk. I just recently ordered a bonnie cover, for long days spent in the sun. The one I liked said Tactical. It's like what is so Tactical about a hat. Like it's going to give me super Rambo ninja skills!
It helps to be morbidly obese and out of breath when making these tactical youtube video's. It's important to have tactical body fat to live off of in a famine.
<---- you may notice my tactical turtle neck sweater and wool pants...you can't pick them up on night vision, thermal vision, or any sort of vision for that matter. I'll sell em to you for $7,000.

I bought some Tactical underwear. It has a self contained GPS system. That is linked to my special GPS guided ammunition. It has an invisible self targeting laser. That can detect targets 360 degrees. So I can just pull the trigger, and I'm on target. It's Tactical because you have no idea I have them. You just think I have on some regular old boxers, or some tighty whities. Then blam I go super Tactical ninja! Game over!
lol I knew you would weigh in on this topic. How? You my friend have a certain set of buzz words or topics that **** you off. A few examples:
Clip (When used in sentences like, "So I changed clips.")
Assault (i.e. Assault rifle)
Indiana Concealed Carry Permit (Huh? What? Never heard of one of those, how do you get one?)

No harm in that. Stupid is as stupid does. That's what my momma always used to tell me.
I'm not sure if it makes you an *******, but I just feel for poor Oezer whenever you correct him. You know he really seeks your approval and when you destroy his words without even looking up from what you are doing, well I think it just kills him a little inside.
Oh and to keep this relevant to the topic...I agree "tactical" is crap and we should all just admit it and start calling it tacticool!

THE WORD: TACTICAL, dun dun dun
I use it as a selling tool. because it works great!!! and i laugh all the way to the safe
when you assign that word to something it just makes the product stand out. MOST People who are real world SERIOUS trigger pullers, dont buy gear off the forums because of what its called, unless its a specialty piece. In that line of work, You call up companies directly and already know a guy who knows what you like and then you give them your card number and you get the gear you know will work in the mail. you dont even ask how much it cost, because cost doesnt matter when it does the job. The word tactical is a word that applies to gear where the customer always ask... how much. Im not being rude, just honest. Id say that the majority of people who buy gear at gun shows, will never use it but maybe a couple times on the range or infront of the mirror. but thats fine with me. if they buy it, they can do whatever they want to do with it. and i dont think any less of them for it.
remember, rag tag farmers, clerks, merchants, factory workers, etc.... are the ones who defeated the most powerful empire and military in the world since the roman empire, and they secured the freedoms we enjoy today. Its not the gear or financial statements, that make a man, a man. its whats inside. you never know when that "guy" at a show who buys "tactical gear" might have to use it to deffend his or someone elses life. I just try to always be honest with people and ask what they need the gear to do. and if they are buying too much of what they dont need then i will at least tell them i dont recomend it. if they buy it anyways then at least i did what i could do to be honest as a seller.

I won't talk about mine, because I don't wear underwear. I don't want anything confined, everything needs to be free for action at anytime. You don't want to know where the GPS, it smarts a little. A black sharpie keeps everything the right color. I have a tactical Mr. Happy. Should charge extra for it.
