For me lately, the wealth of information on various firearms is immensely useful. Other than having someone in your personal circle, or going somewhere with a concentration of people who know what they're talking about and bothering them, there wasn't detailed information that was easily accessible on the topic. Sure, books existed. But you can only fit so many diagrams in a book.

Now, with web articles, and YouTube, it's so much easier to fully understand what you're operating, and how to maintain it.
