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.

They had google in your day? I thought it was Webcrawler or a Comodor 64 or something.
Nope. We had to go to these things called libraries to find information. The closest thing to these “search engines” you speak of was the card catalog.
Life was hard. Dinosaur attacks were a common occurrence, and the darned Huns were always coming around and messing things up.
The Martin “animal head on the wall looking back at you” is hilarious!
