Guns.com engagement report
@Guns_com - 232K followers on X
Measured over 98 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 30, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 58 interactions against 232K followers, an engagement rate of 0.025%. Measured over 98 original posts, its engagement rate beats 36% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 6.7K times each, and 0.867% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.88% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 98 posts sampled, 86% carry an image or video and 66% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.3K interactions, about 109x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #fuelyourfreedom, #signext2026, #2nd.

Compared with accounts its own size
Guns.com's engagement rate beats 36% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 39% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.025%, Guns.com sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 86% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 66% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 86% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 66% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 251 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Thank you to everyone who tagged us on the post about the Giffords and their March For Our Lives endorsing Garrettโs Law, which intends to amend the federal Gun Control Act to add high-powered airguns. This would include guns like the Daisy 880. Their goal is to eventually include all airguns. If passed it will treat airguns guns producing โhigh velocityโ as firearms. That bill was introduced Sept. 24, 2026, to the House of Representatives. Details: it would add all airguns that produce 800 or more feet per second velocities in .177 caliber, and all pellets over .25 caliber. So far thereโs been no further action, but it bears watching very closely.

Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.
Recurring topics
The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 58 interactions against 232K followers, an engagement rate of 0.025%. Measured over 98 original posts, its engagement rate beats 36% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 6.7K times each, and 0.867% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.88% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

- What is Guns.com's engagement rate on X?
- Guns.com (@Guns_com) has an engagement rate of 0.025%, based on the median interactions across 98 original posts from the last 30 days against 232,256 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.025%, Guns.com sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @Guns_com have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 36% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @Guns_com post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.03 posts per day across the measured window.
