What type of an airsofter are you? Thu Apr 09, 2009 3:32 pm
Mr.Lee
Are you...
1) The GunNut (Syn: Nut)
- To this type, The Gun is EVERYTHING. He/she doesn't care about uniforms, gear, to him/her these are "superfluous" to the Holy Grail of having The Best Gun In The Whole World.
- Issues: FPS, ROF, Range, Groupings, Accuracy, etc
- Conversant in: tappet plates, shims, bushings, piston heads and sundry cylinders
- Haunts: Why, the Technical Section, of course
- Often heard saying: "Kailangan mo kase ng tight barrel na 6.x kung gusto mo ng increased accuracy...pero yung gearbox mo, teka, anong version ba yan...kase may issues sa...
- Distinguishing characteristic: Bores his/her girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband to tears
2) The Gwapormer (Syn: Gear*****/Geardo)
- To this type, The Uniforms and The Gear are EVERYTHING. Doesn't care much about guns and hardware, sometimes forgets those are essential in this hobby first off
- Issues: "Does Delta wear/use this? How about CIA spooks in 'A-Stan?', what do they wear/use?"; "Is an MP5 appropriate with a FAST kit?"
- Conversant in: Anything "SpecOps"
- Haunts: Why, the Unifs and Gears Classifieds, of course
- Often heard saying: Mag BlackHawk ka na lang kase okaya SDS, kapag nag Kruks ka okaya TacOps parang...nakakahiya
- Distinguishing characteristic: Bores his/her girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband to tears
3) The Performer (Syn: Kid)
To this type, The Game is EVERYTHING. To hell with looking right/well, to hell with having the best gun in the whole wide universe
Issues: Game scenarios, rules, violators, kills, almost-kills, frustratingly-unadmitted kills, more kiills
Conversant in: Field, CQB "tactics," Hand signals, Sniper voodoo, Rifleman tips
Haunts: Any section of FAS he/she can get "Battle Tips" from
Often heard saying: If you knew better, you wouldn't have compromised your position too early. A good sniper knows the value of patience
- Distinguishing characteristic: Bores his/her girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband to tears
4) The History Nut/Collector (Syn: Reenactor/MilSim enthusiast)
To this type, history/accuracy is EVERYTHING
Issues: "Correct" dated Uniforms and Gear
Conversant In: Everything from the Greek Phalanx, the Roman short sword (Gladius Hispaniensis as he/she refers to them) up to the US Pacific Fleet's tactics...in fact, continuously makes analogies about Roman legions and the US Seventh Fleet as "The highest/most lethal form of military formations in world history."
Haunts: The Uniforms and Gear classifieds, of course, with the extra request that items for sale be "dated."
Often heard saying: That kit is just...wrong. The Japanese in Burma didn't use those... Or variations of the same theme
- Distinguishing characteristic: Bores his/her girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband to tears
So, which are you?
