No or at least I hope not, I’m referring to discussions I’ve seen on the unaffiliated SRA subreddit wherein people do sometimes suggest it as a practical purchase. They usually get talked down but there are a few defenders. I haven’t checked in there regularly in several years so I couldn’t say how that has changed. It is mostly a meme. Also back in the late 90s through possibly the early 00s they could be had very inexpensively often bundled with cleaning kits and ammo, so there was at least some rationale.
