IMO the firearms threads add interaction with people on here and unlike most sites the people here actually do things together, not just type about things they do from a computer... I have met some good people from this site that i would not have ever met if it were not for there shared interests in firearms. I could also say the same thing about the dirt threads, not everyone in here shares the passion for riding dirt but it is a great forum to meet the people that do and ride differant area's that maybe you didnt know about or did not want to ride alone.
