What's the saying? "Beware the man with one gun. He likely knows how to use it."
...
Variety is for those fatass rich guys on M4C or dudes who aren't really good at anything. They're trophy-holders, not shooters.
"I've had a .50 Beowulf upper for my M4 for years and..." "So, how often do you shoot that thing, hoss?" "*Crickets*"
...
Being good with 50 guns usually isn't as useful as being really good with just 2 guns. And I say that as a guy that wants the 18B vault at Bragg.
Let's say for the sake of this thread that we're talking about combat shooting and assault rifles (but this could apply to Appleseed, IDPA, etc.).
Manual of arms and combat shooting fundamentals are easy enough for every modern assault rifle. USA vs. Russkis being the major split.
Taking classes on foreign weapons and buying every whizbang wondergun made in the US is fine, but pick something and master it.
Example: I know a guy that shoots a .303 all the time. That's all he shoots. And he could pick your nose with it at unbelievable ranges.
...
Another example of this are those guys you'll run into at a martial arts school that tell you're they're a purple belt in this and a blue belt in that and a red belt in that. You ask them why they didn't get their black belt and they'll give you some bullshit excuse but the truth of the matter is they just got bored.
This applies even more so in the gun world. Nobody wants to take the time to master X rifle because it becomes more about YOU than the gear.
...
As it applies here? I have many guns. Too many guns. I'm trying to sell them and work strictly on Glock pistol, AR carbine and AR precision rifle.
