    … You… didn’t know about the AK 74?

    Lemme guess, you think the AR in AR 15 stands for Assault Rifle, right?

      Do you know of all of the different types of engines? Pipe fittings? CPUs? Welding techniques?

      Didn’t think so. Let me guess, you think the thing that came out of the computer was a cup holder, right?

        No, I don’t know literally all variants of all of those things, but I know enough about them, and am generally humble and self aware of my own lack of knowledge to not make really cringe jokes that showcase that lack of knowledge.

        The AK74 is one of the most common, most prolifically produced firearms on the planet, after the AK47 and M16 variants / AR15s, the Mossberg 500 series and Uzi variants.

        There are roughly as many AK74s as there are Colt 1911s, or Glocks.

        This is more like knowing about Toyota and then scoffing at the idea that there could be some other Japanese car company named “Mitsubishi” that exists.

        So the rhetoric of your retort is ridiculous:

        1st vs maybe 5th most common firearm ever… compared to apparently encyclopedic knowledge of every different CPU that has ever existed or every different kind or type of engine or pipe fitting that has ever existed?

        There’s gotta be at least 10,000 of each of those.

        You’re at like a playground level of ‘clever comeback’ here.
