How do You Define "Tactical" - (yes, I'm obviously bored...)

[Landcruiser]

It is even funnier when you read through a gun magazine and look for the tactical cheese wiz phrases... Today I found "Modern day Gunfighter" in a Guns & Ammo.
That said I have seen at least one of the posters on this thread shoot an AR10 out of an abandoned travel trailer while having a drop leg holster attached to his leg. The concussion outside the trailer was awesome... A truly tactical situation.

Still deaf in the left ear from that. ...dick

I'm just jealous because my drop leg holster is from the 90's. When I realized they do suck that bad for any real civilian use. I would think they were cool again if they were worked into some sort of accessories ban...
I have come to admit that I do fit too many of the stereotypes, how many looking at this thread reluctantly identify?

Drop leg holster
Taclight (admit it, you have more than 1)
Red dot sights
Ever thought how to use more kydex...
More money in reloading supplies than wife's wedding ring
Combat knife
Anything molle
AR decked out
Firearm decal on truck...or Crown Vic...
Precision tactical rifle
Colion Noir fan
Ever used "bug out" in conversation
Regularly use quotes from 'Blackhawk Down', 'Patriot', 'We were Soldiers', or any James Bond movie...
Add your own to the list

We really do need to accept it before a support group will do any good...

Anything colored flat dark earth.

I think Tactical is anything black, that looks dangerous.

Even if it licks it's own butt.

DLH - Yes
Taclight - Yes (2, but got one in trade)
Red Dot - only 1, but its on a .22, so it's inherently tactical.
Kydex- No
Reloading vs Ring - yes, by factor of 5
Combat knife - does Kukri count?
Molle - No
Deck the Halls with AR - yes (7)
Decal - Yes
on a crown vic - Yes
Tac Rifle - $700 in a 10/22, that's a yes.
Bugout Bag - One at home, one in car, one at work.

Ever used a DIY Cerkote kit?
Ever contemplate a DEagle for IPSC to increase power factor?
Refer to Desert Eagle as Deagle?
Ever buy a Styer Aug because they're cool on Counter Strike?
Wear drop leg holster to bed "just in case"?

If yes to any of the above, you too can join Landcruiser as leader of the mall ninjas.

 

[clearconscience]

Lol, a forking deagle....

 

[Landcruiser]

Thanks for that... Just an unwilling member not the leader... Who we shall call Rob, to protect his identity of course... But don't tell him, he is still in the zen ninja closet...

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Running flanking operations while attacking.
Setting point patrols, flankers and drag during a move.
Etc.
Tactics!!!

 

[soberups]

"Tactical" is actually a Latin word which means "overpriced black plastic."

 

[Medic!]

I thought it was part ''Tacky'' and part ''tickle''?

 

[Riot]

Anything that gives you an edge in a battle that was pre thought out and planned for.

This explains it best...I would suppose "Tactical" would be anything designed to give you an edge against a two-legged critter...

I guess it's more about intent over looks...

 

[ch139]

It DOES get bounced around a bit too much these days...

 

[Joe13]

That poor lever gun

 

[Medic!]

That just aint natural!

 

[KTM530XCW]

Isn't that what Gecko45 uses for guarding malls, in Ninja fashion?

 

[SigShooter232]

One of the most entertaining takes I've seen about tactical....

 

[Joe13]

Roflmao!

TACTICAL SPORK!!!!

Nothing says "im ready for you Kim Jong Un" like a Spork.

This pretty well sums up what Tactical means to me.
