Tactical! It's TACTICAL!

[Will Carry]

"Is that your fishin' vest your wearing?" "No it's a TACTICAL vest." "Hunh?"

My shorts are TACTICAL shorts. I have a TACTICAL pocket knife, TACTICAL watch, TACTICAL boots. TACTICAL sunglasses. I even have TACTICAL underwear. Putting the word TACTICAL on something makes me want to buy it...............I'm such a nerd. I wonder if they have TACTICAL pocket protectors?

Ahh yes, but do you have:

Ahh yes, but do you have:

Was in the other day and saw the cans under the black rifle racks. Freakin' hilarious!

[Guest KimberChick]

I refer to that as "Shoot me first" gear.

[Armed Aviator]

My son, the Marine, calls it queer gear . . . I call it Tacticool!

[nightrunner]

I tend to NOT buy stuuf that has tactical on it

I don't have anything tactical (aka 'Nutnfancy approved ®') and don't really understand why people are into it...

[Oh Shoot]

Yeah, laughably, my XD 5" is also designated as "Tactical" on slide. Takes a really skillful operative like me to handle that extra one inch of barrel.

I have an FNH cammo ball cap...that about as Tacti-KEWL as I get...I'd rather fly below the radar...

[Guest Sgt. Joe]

I dont have anything that says tactical on it????????

Maybe I have tactical dysfunction:eek:

[Guest bkelm18]

Since "Tactical" is just a marketing ploy, I generally avoid anything labeled as such. As someone else said, if FancyNutterButter uses it in his videos, I avoid it like the plague.

[luvmyberetta]

Even hardware stores sale tactical gear. Take an everyday item like black electricians tape. Isn't electrical tape just a - tactical black, adhesive, electronic repair device? Put that on the label and you can charge more for it.

In all fairness, I gotta admit, I have a pump shotgun with a black pistol grip stock, side saddle, and heat shield. Why? Cause it looks tacti...um...I mean cool. I like it, but I know it doesn't have a real practical everyday use. It's just a heck of a lot of fun to shoot. Now I'm off to fleabay to look for a tactical computer mouse so I can play some covert solitaire.

I have several things tactical. Everything has a real purpose for me though.

My tactical pants last for a couple of years vs a couple of months(if that-I'm rough on clothes) for jeans. My tactical heat shield keeps me from burning my knee(****ing ouch!). My tactical gloves are thinner, warmer, and much more durable then anything else available.

Similar to everything that was "turbo" back in teh 80's and 90's. It seemed like everything was turbo charged, from cars to computers.

Or maybe how everything was 'extreme' back in the mid to late '90s. There were 'extreme sports' and so on. There was even a Knoxville radio station that called itself 'extreme radio'.

I don't really see what the problem is. Personally, the only item I have that has the word "tactical" on it is my range bag I bought from OpticsPlanet on closeout. I also own a balaclava, which is used for running when it is less than 30 F outside. Now, are there some who take the tactical thing a little too far? Sure. However, I won't berate them (I'm might snicker a little internally), because in the end, they are helping provide jobs with their purchase.

I dont have anything in the tacti-cool department. I do have a non tactical CSTS hat from Down Under, COMBAT SURVIVAL TRAINING SCHOOL: Royal Australian Air Force that Ihave been know to wear on occasion. But I do have to admit that it isnt camo'ed, black or even tacti-cool.

[Punisher84]

I think Strick kinda nailed it. Tactical gear is fine if you're gonna use it for a purpose. If you're wearing it just to look cool at the range or on YouTube...you just suck.

I have various items that are "tactical", but mostly I use them for either better gear at work or little additions to my AR. I don't have tac pants with a tactical pocket with it's own tactical pocket or anything.

Just goofing around I googled "Tactical Shoe Laces" and what do you know. There are also Tactical socks and boxer shorts. WTH?

Posted tactically from Tap Talk.

[Gun Smith]

I'm usually way behind on the trendy phrases and words. Just yesterday I noticed my 15 year old son mention "tactical" this and "tactical" that. He and his buddies are all into air soft guns.

While there is a reality to it, the marketers have dumbed it down just like they do everything else.

[Will Carry]

Tactical = Shoot me first !!!! That makes a lot of sense, tactically. So........"Say hello to my new FISHING vest." Thanks for the striaght talk!

[McAllyn]

ATAS, it's not just for Call of Duty anymore.

I took a tactical crap once. Back against a tree and M16 in hand.
