My experience: nobody has the perfect kit. I’d advise keeping an open mind and stop being defensive. The things you perceive as slights should be water off a duck’s back. Always keep yourself in a "listen and learn" mindset. Yeah, you’ll have to occasionally put up with "armchair commandos," but I’d say that most people here would have your back 100%.
Then again, I’m old, maybe I’m saying all this shit because my testosterone levels have fallen off a cliff.
Na, it’s not defensive. It’s about the fact that there is always one asshole in every pack. Usually that dude totes a police surplus glock 19 and a Smith and Wesson AR. Fact is I just didn’t post and entire set. I couldn’t get it all in frame if I wanted to. I have had gun fights with way shittier equipment than this. A brain bucket, lbv, and 20” barreled A2 while I wore green camis in the desert with black boots. I can fight an absolutely have myself equipped appropriately. If there is a piece of equipment that proves itself to be needed, it will go into the pack. This photo is hardly the pack.
Want to see a picture of a friends s&w? It’s in my work bench at home right now. His barrel nut was a bit over tightened. It was also over clocked, causing the gas tube to be out of alignment with the gas key.

(Shudder. I used to be a gunsmith, they were my most common rifle to repair)

That pivot pin lug was busted while REMOVING the barrel nut.
Honest to god I’d rather see people buy palmetto state than S&W or ruger.
Damn. Frickin assemblers not bothering to torque TO spec, not PAST spec.
I’ve never seen a pivot pin lug break from removing the barrel nut. That’s some crazy shit.
