the first gun I ever bought when I graduated high school in 2013 was a Lee Enfield No. 4 MKII using my graduation gift money. I got it because of the DayZ Mod for Arma2 which is what I played a lot at the time. So yes.
The following year or two after that, Stalker played a huge role for me and is pretty much responsible for me blowing all of my money in my early 20s and never saving a dime. I sold that Enfield a year after I got it to buy a Zastava AK which was a piece of shit actually. Sold that 2 years later.
These days, no. I just buy whatever seems practical and fun and has actual purpose.
