If it’s a tool then it is like a socket because you need a bunch of sizes.

There is no one single “hunting gun”. Any avid hunter needs several different types, for instance I am a bird hunter and I hunt a lot of different types of birds in a variety of ways and to do it correctly that requires several specialized shotguns.

Sure I could just get just one and use it for everything but it would be less effective and less fun so I have quite a few and they are specialized.

And the same applies for big game. Sure I could get just one and use it for everything but it is far more effective to get specific ones for specific game.

And as a shooter it is a lot more fun to have different guns to shoot for different purposes than just one gun.

And of course for home defense their are a lot of different scenarios and situations where different types of guns are better and more effective than others.

And then of course for concealed carry, or even open carry, different guns fit different situations and purposes.

Now you may not like that and you may think that if I just own one crescent wrench I can tighten bolts and hammer nails with it but the truth is I’m better off owning a crescent wrench, a hammer, a screw driver, and frankly multiples of all of them specialized for varied purposes.

Different tools designed for different things.
