Lever action assault rifles

[AJ]

Speaking as someone who has a GWOT medal (the kind issued for being "around at the time" as opposed to being "there"), and being former Army before the Navy, so I do understand military rifles, let me state categorically that "tacticool" is not a denigration of any law enforcement or military personnel, but it is, without a doubt, a derogatory term and a denigration of exactly what BB57 describes hereinabove. Nuf sed...........

I was around for a couple of tours in SEA and for Desert Storm 1. To me "tacticool" for the most part is for the Wannabes. I see a lot of folks on the range that bring out those types of firearms and have no real clue how to use them.

I think of it as cheap crappy parts on a firearm with someone who isn't proficient in its use.

Yes, thread is very revealing and run much further than I thought. Surprized of what folks consider 'assault weapons'. Since it was brought up...'tacticool' as I see it refers to those folks that hang as much as possible on a rifle and now shotguns with no redeeming usage. Remember years ago at a 3gun match guys pulled up in a van. When they got out they were wearing OD military overalls and each had comms headset on. Unlimbering their firearms they were tacticool. Civilians all. They made an impression and not in a positive way. And so it goes.
