Ya know, I actually do appreciate that some of these aftermarket components are available. My short-range coyote rig looks strikingly similar to the "tacticool" AR's that I make fun of at the range on a regular basis (telescoping stock + Cheekpiece, vertical foregrip, bipod adapter and bipod, single point sling mount, and carry-handle scope mount). I only have 2 rails, one on the bottom of the handguard for the vert grip and the bipod, and one on the carry handle for the scope.

Was I trying to make it "look cool"? No. Was I trying to make it more and more functional for a run-and-gun style of coyote hunting? Yes. Do I roll my eyes when I see guys at the range with decked out "tacticool rigs" for home defense or zombie apocalypse? Yes. Do I expect to be immune to OTHER shooters rolling their eyes as I drop my tactical looking rig on the bags at the range? No. BUT, do I appreciate that the components I've picked up to make my rig a better shooter were available off the shelf? Yes.
