2020 were rough times anons. Forgot I had this photo. I can't be alone in feeling like this hobby/industry had a massive shift around covid, no?
>>65601270Yeah.
>>65601270the only panic that caught me unprepared was in 2008 with .380. took years for it to restock in my area. oh and i guess powder for precision .308 during one of the panic but i dont do it that much that i worried.
It semi recovered but it snowballed with inflation and ukraine. Every hobby has been soured over the past 5 or 6 years desu
>>65601270Yeah, everything shifted after covid, not just in the firearms scene. Namely enshittification accelerated and became more accepted due to "supply chain shortages". At least I can always find ammo on store shelves now, even if it's double or triple what I'd pay in 2020. To think, I'm somewhat nostalgic for what felt like the apocalypse to normies
>>65601298>Namely enshittification accelerated and became more accepted due to "supply chain shortages".If we ever get out of this hole, you won't be able to give away anything manufactured from 2019-20XX On the other hand, it may get worse and worse until the stuff companies are sharting out today look like masterworks.
>>65601270>>65601332COVID was only when normies woke up to this. I has been a long slide starting in 1930s.
I bought out like three walmwarts worth of rifle and pistol ammo in December 2019, so I laughed long and loud through COVID and the ensuing nigpocalypse.
>>65601783Hahaha that's crazy! XD
>>65601298Nice Galil. That you McNig?
>>65601270dude you'd be extremely hard pressed to find anyone who says that nothing changed since covid>>65601984mcnig is dead unfortunately, either that or he's so far removed from the internet that he might as well be dead
>>65601298Lewd figgies are still fine.
We just need to kill all the Muslims and democrats and things will get better
>>65601270>this hobby/industry had a massive shift around covidimo the ukraine war did more to shift it. all the gear-centric people saw the trench warfare and lost interest in being high-speed. most gun discourse went back to concealed carry or bag guns.
