well put.
I will add that I have never seen a woman put rounds into the ceiling tiles of a range from firing too-much-gun far too rapidly, and have lost count of the number of men I have seen do so.
I have shot the DE .50cal AE ONCE, and will never do so again.
My M1911 is mo' plenty enough, and since it is the first type of pistol I ever shot it just feels right.

Well, on the range at work, it is most often the women who have to try and try over and over again after the rest of us (the men) have left for the day, to qualify with their firearms. The problem is usually the combination of recoil and weak wrists. I don't even have an opinion about it. It's just an overwhelmingly obvious fact. It's same for every department I have worked for.
