I hope there's not many on this board. One of my relatives is borderline that way. He has a dozen mags for his 9mm carbine and pistol. He's trying to find a bayonet to attach to a rail on the carbine. He's building a tacticool 12 ga pump.
I've encouraged him over and over to include a S&W revolver or two in his arsenal but he just doesn't get it.

I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

Yes, but I'll wager the majority of those were at least reasonably good marksmen. The gentleman in question has barely done familiarization fire with these.
They are fun for other folks to enjoy
But their only real purpose is suppressive fire in the real world

My preference is for one, well placed shot; unless of course you need to shoot your way out of an L ambush.

I prefer wood on my AKs.
I have 2 mags ea caliber that I carry when I shoot. I rarely use the second mag, it's just a back up. I like to dump a mag and change guns. I don't want the gun too hot to hold. So I give it down time with a mag reload or change of calibers.
Last I knew that required at least a squad to pull off.

So if you don't have a squad I guess you have a better idea?
My AR15 don't even have scopes and will never have all the other crap people hang on them.
But to each their own.
Good god man isn't there room for everyone??
Not tacticool
I am not bothered by the tacticool crowd anymore than I am bothered by the smoke pole crowd. Any pro gun crowd is a friend of mine. People enjoy different things and 99.9 percent of gun owners will only ever see range time and will never use their firearms in a real life situation. So if they enjoy a different shooting experience than me, more power to them, as long as they are in the shooting community.
Well said.
Scope mount is in and going on. Considering this started as a MAK, I like it better than what it was. I despised collapsible stocks, but now that I have it I like it.
The AR is OEM with a scope.
Seriously, after I did it, I like the AK this way.
On the other hand, I have a nice Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag, Ruger 77 .308, Mossberg 500 20 gauge, and others that are bone stock.
My thought is pretty simple, if there is an "accessory" that I either think to be useful or that I just simply like, I put it on my gun.

Now the hood ornament is something I am just going to have to have.
On a serious note concerning this thread, I can't get too enthused about some of the tacticool accessory garbage that folks hang on their guns. Some of them look like a Klingon Battle Weapon.
With that said, what that means for me is that I am not going to buy any of that stuff. Don't see the point.
If someone else wants to dress up their gun? Not my money...I don't care.

At my age, I appreciate wood whenever I can get it. [;)]

Have you ever gone black?
Try it. Might not go back.
There is some bad wood out there. Bill & Hillary are partially to blame. The MAK-90 is just cut wrong.
I have one piston AR with a red dot and BUIS.
I have one AR with collapsible stock, the rest is stock.
I have one AR with a standard stock, nothing else.
I guess I could go new-school tacticool, or stay old school when I shoot.
As was posted, as long as the shooter supports the second, votes accordingly, and is not a knot head shooting up the landscape and leaving a mess behind, I don't really mind what they hang on their guns.
