…and I Am All out of Bubblegum

Who’s Captain Tactical now?  Huh?  I can’t hear you!

That’s right, baby.  I am.

The faces of parties involved have been replaced with Martin Landau in order to preserve their dignity.

The full inventory:

  • Ruger SR556 piston-operated AR-15 carbine
  • NcStar “Tactical 3-Rail Sighting System” serving as the fulcrum for this monstrosity
  • Aimpoint Comp ML3 red-dot scope with FDE rubber cover (“FDE” being the tactical term for “beige”)
  • A3 carry handle (which probably isn’t considered very “tactical” because iron sights are boring)
  • NcStar “Tactical Red-Dot Scope with Laser”

The whole shebang takes a rifle that’s already front-heavy by design, then magnifies that flaw into a catastrophe of redundant sighting systems.

If that isn’t tactical, I don’t know what is.

In my day, rifles weren’t all covered in Picatinny rails, parents could do a Google search for “spanking” without being traumatized by the results, and young people didn’t listen to music that sounds like cursing over whale farts.

Meh.
