Well if it's a particular S&W revolver I want to know about I go to the S&W Fourms......Colt revolver then the Colt Forum.....A Marlin, the Marlin Firearms Fourm...... SKS the SKS Survivior's Forum.....A knife, then it's Blade Forums......Some flavor of mil-surp then it's Gun Boards......US militaria then it's the US Militaria Forum......22s it's Rimfire Central, and so forth and so on. It's all good though because ARFCOM excels at finding out "what is this?".....It's uncanny. View Quote So true. The amount on knowledge here is invaluable. That’s why I’m a paying member. Doing what I can to make sure this place stays around. Sure there is a lot of asshattery but not in the tech forums and its easy to sift through. I just wish we could organize better in the political realm. |

Well at least they didn't put us on the same list as those douche bags over at M4carbine.net

i have honestly NEVER seen post count be an indicator of expertise. but then again i have only been on the site for 20 almost 20 years so what do i know
|

I'm thinking a website named Gunnuts isn't the best place for advice, either.
|

i tell my fellow gun friends about finding good info on arfcom, but i sure as fuck warn them about general discussion.

Forums that take themselves too seriously are cringe. Too much ass hurt, not enough bantz.

3. Arfcom
There are subforums on Arfcom that aren’t total clownshows, and some of the regional subforums are actually pretty good. Too bad the average population of Arfcom are the sorts of people that undoubtedly know the taste of windows. The biggest problem of Arfcom of course is that it’s one of those places where your post count creates authority. “I’ve posted 100,000 times, I’m clearly an expert” is a pretty common mental malady over there. So you end up with keyboard commandos who don’t know the first thing about actually shooting a rifle for blood or money telling honest newbs how to set up their rifle so its a total sandwich of soup. Love it. |

He sounds like he’s really short, in addition to owning a pitbull.

GD is a dumpster fire but most of the tech forums are a fabulous fountain of knowledge with people who will actually help you out instead of just making snarky comments (unlike many more narrowly focused gun websites). Hometown is a great way to network regarding State and local gun politics,

I agree if you only look in GD this place is an awful gun website.
But if you go to the tech forums it is quite respectabel. |

We used to be the #1 firearm site in the world ... not sure if we still are any longer.

Arf has more collective gun knowledge than 90% of all other gun sites added together. And we will be the first to tell you.

5. Nutnfancy
In a way, Nutnfancy is sort of like the Taurus Judge or SERPA holster of online gun information. He's well enough known that even casual users are aware of him, and serious shooters and users know that if someone says "well, Nutnfancy recommends" that we don't have to listen to anything they're going to say after that. Famous for three hour long youtube videos about guns that no one should ever own, Nutnfancy is one of the OG purveyors of gunderp. Whenever I find out that Nutnfancy likes a gun I like, it makes me question my beliefs. If you'd ever like to give yourself alcohol poisoning, play the Nutnfancy drinking game. Find one of his 1 hour and 39 minute long videos (all of them) and then take a shot every time he says "sheepdog", "without rule of law", "second type of cool", or if he flares his lips like he's having a stroke. |

As another member pointed out, this is the place where you’ll learn a shotgun is a terrible home defense weapon, and 9mm is good for charging grizzlies.
