I'm not really a small arms "expert". I just know a bunch of stuff that a lot of people dont.

Same here, but alot of people my age believe that playing Call of Duty makes them experts. Unsuprisingly, everything they say is utterly idiotic/ false

It surprises me sometimes when I talk to people who knows absolutely nothing about guns. A girl I know who was in the Marines surprisingly didn't know what a Desert Eagle is. When I was talking with a comic book shop owner about the M1 Garand, he didn't know what that was.

How does someone not know what a Desert Eagle is? It has been in just about every single goddamn movie and video since it was put into production

Well a lot of people have SEEN a Desert Eagle, but it wouldnt be surprising if they dont know what it is. How often in a movie do you hear it being called by its name?

Now if someone didn't know what an AK-47 is by name, then they are stupid.

Suprisingly, I've met a few people like that

A lot of the general public don't know a thing about firearms and react surprisingly when you explain things to them.
