"Meanwhile, in Sillyworld..."
|
LAST EDITED ON Mar-20-17 AT 11:08 AM (EDT) I was at my sort-of-local milsurp store slash gun shop slash indoor range yesterday, doing the first bit of actual shooting I've done in a while—a result of which will appear in the regular feature here in a little while—when I noticed something behind the counter.See, the thing a lot of people don't appreciate about the weirder corners of the shooting sports (and it has a lot of weird corners, enough that its geometry can't be Euclidean) is that though some are a little, or sometimes more than a little, dark and sinister—e.g., preppers, or people with a zealous fixation on Wound Ballistics—there are also more than a few that are just plain silly. Some are that way on purpose. Others get there in spite of being Serious Business. And not a few arrive in that territory because some people thought they were Serious Business. I can't quite decide which of those this is, but I suspect it might be a combination: at least partially tongue-in-cheek on the manufacturer's part, taken seriously to the point of self-parody by a portion of the target market. Worried that your shotgun isn't Tactical enough? Standard Manufacturing has a suggestion... --G. -><- Benjamin D.
