Poking fun at the generation gap

[Greenbug]

In the tradition of "You might be a redneck..."

If you bought your new Glock so you can "mod" it, you might be a millenial...
If you refer to you favorite firearm as a "platform" you might be a millenial...
If you describe a revolver as "old school" you might be a millenial...
If you describe anything with an acronym instead of spelling it out, you might be a millenial...
If you have never used a postage stamp or don't know how to use one, you might be a millenial...
If you are constantly on the quest for the highest B.C. bullet so you can be a better "operator" you might be a millenial...

Please add some of your "observations"!

Just write it out in cursive and the millennials will never be able to read it, and if you don't want your vehicles stolen, just get all stick shifts, they can't drive them.

We need a grumpy baby boomers emoji so I can just post that each time one of you old guys falls off your rocker and breaks a hip.

If you bought your Glock 17 at a gunshow when the dealer had the only two models available - a G-17 and a G-17L does this make you a dinosaur?
Note: I screwed up and did NOT get the 'L' model!

A lot of us middle aged military veterans use acronyms. It is funny thinking that my kids, nieces and nephew never knew a world without cell phones and the internet. My kids were fascinated with cassette tapes when I taught them how to make a mix tape. Today we had old fashioned sledding fun on a snowy hill.

One or two in the OP may apply to me and I'm one of the last genXers.

I had a pager as a teen. I was trying to explain that one to the chillens the other day.

You got me there....
Ballistic Coefficient. (Just to prove I know what it means, how to spell it, and to be a man about being caught in my own trap!)

I had a pager too, and one of those BRICK type cell phones for work...

If you leaned how to type with your thumbs only, you might be a millennial...

It's okay, because I am actually a millenial and maybe only relate to the revolver statement. However, I typically only use that term with Colt detective specials and S&W K and J frames, so technically those are "old school" revolvers?

Although, I feel like semiauto recoil operated pistols are my favorite platform, or is that wrong to say?

Just leave off the "platform" and your millennial will stop showing.
