Tactical gear dudes are so funny "I have this bullet proof helmet and vest, and I have these sunglasses for visibility and protection" (goes on to shoot a watermelon)

    Eye protection is key. And then almost none of the idiots wear ear protection, and put on the helmet and bulletproof vest instead lol.

    idk what gun channels you watch but every guntuber ive seen at a minimum has in ear pro, as well as usually over the ear protection as well. They take it off when doing their explanations and talking but by that point the firearm is cleared and set down on a table, not actively being fired.

    To be clear, I mean the less reputable larpers- the ones I called "idiots". Mostly the manosphere types that periodically show off guns.

    I agree, most of the people I've seen that are more a part of the firearm community proper conduct themselves properly around firearms.

    Well, if you're gonna test equipment, might as well know what it's like to use it in full gear like you most likely would in the field. Can't fault the idiot for that. If he fired it naked, you complain about that too.

    I’ve seen enough /morbidreality and the like to know that body armor has a limited success rate. It’s better than nothing, but anything of sufficient energy won’t be stopped, and there’s a lot of unprotected area.

    The gravy seals wearing their tacticool wannabe IOTV to the range says a lot about the expected intelligence of the group at the range as a whole.
