I think of military style firearms as being "tactical" as opposed to "sporting". Just so that you don't think I'm "anti" anything, I have a couple of ARs, one at home and one in the car, and a couple of cases of Norinco SKSs in my storage unit.

I think of all the guys who are pretend snipers and special ops warriors as being pretend tactical shooters. You know, the guys who wear an SPCS with a full load of pull-tabbed 30-round magazines, and a 9mm in a cross-draw holster, just to go to the range.
