well: used to think that I could carry a heavy rifle all day, just like when I was in the army 25 years ago, so I did not care much about weight in my build. I made them all super sturdy and with all the tacticool accessories that would make me a better bench shooter...

Then I started playing airsoft, where i did the same mistake, and quickly realized that if I really needed to fight for my life, I would need something i can fight with, run with, roll and hide behind cover if i had to and do this all day...

Gone are the heavy build, the fancy red dots and other accessories. I go light, sturdy, basic.
