You're not really wrong, but that applies equally to the gun community in general, definitely more so for the tactical or competition side of things.
I'll stick to the non-tranny infested parts of the hobby, personally.
Anyone notice this turd had wildly inconsistent ejection patterns? Both in this video and the previous AK50 video it shoots spent cases forwards, backwards, with various force with some just plopping out of the gun and some being launched into the stratosphere. idk if it's inconsistent gassing or if theres some kind of flaw in the ejector design.
The Israelis still to this day use 10/22s as "non lethal" crowd control by aiming for the knees and ankles of protesters. They even have this cool integrally suppressed 10/22 too.
.22 LR rubber crowd control bullets would be pretty effective I bet, and less permanent than a real lead bullet.

I am still of the opinion a suppressed rifle, shooting subsonic rounds, with a thermal scope, is probably the absolute scariest weapon you could encounter. There's dozens of vids from the middle east of like one guy with a thermal scope taking out dozens of guys at night, and they're totally helpless. Can't do anything except hide. Even then, it's pitch black and you don't know if you're behind good enough cover.
Dots are better but irons don't need batteries. I recommend having both.
I have an M9A4 and an 80X Cheetah. If they made a small red dot that was the same width as the plate then it could work. People might think that's a dumb idea but I bet it would be more effective than it sounds.
Any pistol looks retarded when you strap an entire mailbox on top of it! I've mucked around with pistol dots a bit and while they're cool I don't think they are a complete gamechanger like some portray them as.
i only have experience with dots on my p365, and only at the range so my opinion is limited. i find they are nice, but not game changers compared to a good set of irons. they are easier to see at night/low light, and they seem a bit faster to sight back on target when shooting fast. though i do find my current dot is less accurate than my irons, not by much, but it is noticeable. ive actually debated taking it off my gun since it does make my carry gun a tiny bit bulkier and the p365 has night sights by default.
Handguns can look good with added sights but rarely in the tacticool sense people want them to.
In low light, at distances greater than 20m, and especially re-engaging targets, they are clearly superior to irons. So while not a total game changer, they add enough net positives that I believe they should be integrated into everyone's EDC roster.
Scoped and long barreled pistols are the coolest pistols. TEC9 with a C-more would be wild, MKIV or revolver with a scope is sick
