Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Are people really that fkin stupid?

I was at Academy Sports yesterday getting my daughter a tennis racket and saw some Plano rifle cases that looked very similar to the Pelican 1700. I have the 1750 but its too big to fit in the back of my new vehicle.
The Plano Was marked as a 36" TACTICAL case...
Next to It was a oddly similar case but it had a bright yellow (NON-TACTICAL) handle and lacked the sticker that said "TACTICAL"...
PRICE CHECK....
Tactical case $69.95
NON tactical case $39.95

Case Length: 40"
Case Width: 16"
Case Height: 5-�"
Internal Length: 37"
Internal Width: 13"
Internal Height: 5"

REALLY?
I mean obviously theres money to be made off marketing a product towards those who want something they think is LEO or military or SWAT/ Tactical...HSLD...
But a 90% price increase?


Hers the finished NON tactical model...
$40 for a pick and pluck waterproof, key lock and padlock ready hard case?
YEP!

Our Academy had those yellow handle cases for around $70. But at $40 they're a smoking deal.

And yes, people are that stupid.

You will never go broke overestimating the stupidity and poor taste of people...

The huge amount of light beer being sold is witness to the truth of that.

At a surplus store found a day pack that was well made ran $40. A couple of weeks later was in Sportsman's, same pack but with two extra straps and marked "tactical" was $190.... Have seen several at the club lately, those that own them, I take with a big grain of salt.

Thats what I thought about the "Bone Collector"stuff it was getting old

When did a hard plastic case become tactical anyway? Unless you sneak up on the enemy and whack him with it, it's just a case that protects something.

well since they came out with tactical bacon I figured there were more stupid people than I first thought

If you ain't Tactical you ain't chit. So cough up your money and be cool .

Now I would like to try "Tactical Bacon", unfortunately I just get mine with eggs and an English muffin

Tactical gear shouts want-a-be.
My wife works as a manager in a local bank. The head honchos had laptop cases made for those in the bank and the VIP customers.
I can't think of any reason to tote a laptop around, but the case sure looked familiar.
Did you know that those lap top cases have a section for targets, another that holds one S&W k-n frame, 6 inch, a High Standard Citation, 100 rounds of 357 or 45 auto rim and 200 rounds of 22 ammo.
Best of all it was free.

Both quotes are complete and total truths.


I see the same $hit in the waterfowl world. Choke tubes that say CLACKCLOUD or BLINDSIDE that cost 90 bucks but all they are, are a regular choke that would bring about 45 bucks labeled with some gimmick type of marketing bull$hit on them and people eat it like candy but in reality it isn't candy its chocolate covered dog$hit. So is the blindside and blackcloud shells. gimmicks

And YES people are that stupid.

I'm making up some tactical development andrevisions kits.
The unit will consist of a waterproof plastic stencil of the words " tactical, MK, " and a black sharpie.
$64.95
Get in line.

Yamaha now has a tactical inspired 4 wheeler. Model 700 EPS special edition. That might take the cake

Drag bags are all soft sides...so IDK....I guess when someone would pay extra for them....

I know where there a BUNCH of perfect throwing rocks. I have a bunch of surplus black paint.

All I need is a cool name for them.

Rock-ticool, Tactirock, Tactistone, Tosstical...???

Tosstical !! It's Manly.
