Right. And it’s 6000 rounds out of one gun. If someone is shooting that much then they normally have multiple guns so it would extend the time it would take to get 6000 rounds in one of them.

Plus that’s $2500+ in ammo. Again, if they are shooting that much they will probably want to upgrade from a PSA. Or they could at least afford to get a new barrel and BCG.

And the “Duty” thing is overblown. The military isn’t using PSA, and most law enforcement (outside of special duty officers) isn’t ever going to shoot near enough to worry about it either.

I think his point is for 99% of people, that $300 upper is fine. If you buy a gun for work, maybe give yourself the best chance of it working when it needs to. Everyone getting bent out of shape over him saying duty grade seems stupid. His biggest points are always buy what you can actually afford instead of going into debt and train as much as you can. Seems reasonable to me.
