Is there a difference between self:GetOwner() and LocalPlayer() on CL swep hooks

[KillingTorcher]

Are these two situations functionally identical?

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
if (CLIENT) then
print(LocalPlayer())
end
end

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()

if (CLIENT) then
print(self:GetOwner())
end
end

Is there any reason why I should prefer to use GetOwner over LocalPlayer?

GetOwner - Returns the owner entity of this entity. - To get the owner, there needs to be a SetOwner() in the entity in order for GetOwner to return information. Example: Smith spawned a money printer < -- SetOwner (smith's printer) - An admin wants to see whos entity, so they run a GetOwner() on the money printer to return the owner of the entity.

Entity.GetOwner
^

LocalPlayer - Returns the player object of the current client.

Yes, thank you for the wiki copypasta but it definitely does not answer my question. I didn't ask what GetOwner and LocalPlayer were respectively, as I am proficient enough at coding to know that, I asked whether the two situations presented were functionally equivalent in clientside SWEP hooks, and what the preferred method of getting a swep's user was and why. (Is there an advantage to :GetOwner() instead of LocalPlayer() in this scenario?)

If I'm Player 2 looking at Player 1 holding SWEP, SWEP.GetOwner() is Player 1. LocalPlayer() is Player 2.
If I'm Player 2 holding SWEP, SWEP.GetOwner() and LocalPlayer() are both Player 2.
