What Does "Tactical" Mean To You?

[shouldazagged]

tactical puke with momma's drawers at zero six hundred-dog is now hungry-carry on .

I'm sure many of us are as relieved as I am. Though maybe not quite as relieved as the dog is.

I think I'd rather hear the word Tactical rather than "Zombie." Any day of the week.

Does it get any more tactical than this?

Now THAT's what I'm talking about!

Black... lots of plastic... lots of rails... muzzle device... all it needs is a battery and it that baby will be full tilt tactical!

Specially trained or designed to gain an advantage against the enemy. Sorry, I haven't read the whole thread!

Kevlar Drawers, black bras and ballistic nylon stockings.

This is closest to my definition of Tack-Tickle.

Marketing term for the gullible.

Something Bill Jordan never needed!

Tactical is a stick. Strategic is a big stick. I tend to think strategically.

I would too, but consider this: IF there are real zombies, and IF they got their hands on "tactical" gear, wouldn't that kind of level the playing field?

Quit trading the cow for magic bullets, accept reality and get over it.

Loved the whole post, big&slow! But that line was especially nice.

...Finally, I would just like to make one suggestion: If you can't seem to find a way to participate in the shooting sports in a positive, constructive and inclusive manner, why not just get heck out and leave the rest of us alone?...

I'm not sure if the above is YOUR thoughts or the writer you're quoting. But I have trouble with it.

I don't think that "dressing in every color camo" or any of the other complaints listed is any kind of failure to "participate in the shooting sports in a positive...[etc]" way.

Not ALL practicers of the sport/hobby of shooting have to be old, hunched over men who shoot bullseye.

I personally, would rather see people involved in shooting sports, even if they seem a bit "mall ninja" than getting involved in some kind of criminal or malicious activity.

I don't think a productive way to invite and welcome people into the sport is to pre-define what kind of mindset and wardrobe they must have before entering, nor to belittle them once they're there if they don't meet my personal mold of what I think a shooter should look/act/think like.

And finally, I don't care for the writer's "...and leave the rest of us alone" statement. That writer speaks for HIMSELF, not for me, not for "the rest of us". He's welcome to make whatever kind of statement he wants. But he's NOT welcome to include me in his statement by using the "us" pronoun.

Those butt freakin ugly rails.

Tactical, sniper, and what ever is over used and over rated.

But the guy who came up with the "ZOMBIE" ammo is the best marketing ploy I ever read.

To me, tactical means shooting your target in half one shot at a time.

 

[CajunBass]

To me it means "not interested."

 

[wildenout]

Versatile, and functional...if it says tactical and it ain't those things it's a lie in my book! Love the above hot dog btw.

 

[rwsmith]

No that's not it!

Tactical.....Oh, now I remember. That's what you catch fish with.

No, No, No. Tactical refers to your sense of touch. Like good computer keyboards are designed to have good tactical feel.

 

[Andy Griffith]

Tactical = worthless plastic junk

Maybe it's the book nerd in me, but I always thought tactical was supposed to be the thing that gave someone the advantage, not the amount of "BLING" on your equipment!!
