Default What type of an airsofter are you?

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 <pause> 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?

I'm in it just for the fun of it, dude. Like the tag line says: just play the game Siguro konting evolution pa and I'll fit into one of the above.

Nice thread, though.

As of 22:55, 15-17-07, Gwapormers and Performers dead even in the poll (expected, of sorts). Of course the History Nuts are in last place. Surprising how the Gun Nuts aren't having a strong showing (unexpected). Then again why am I making this sound "accurate?" in the least hahah. It's just for kicks.

jabidah: Pwede bro, meron na nga nauna sa 'yo, eh. Tsss pakape. 'kaw nga veezee yata sobra. Sa bahay lang ha, gawa kita malupet na barako. Mahal Itarbaks eh hahah. Tsaka irita don ('lam mo na kwento).

brahma: Nakanaman. Either of two things, though:
1) The SO shares The Passion for Airsoft (Lucky you)
2) No SO (Not so lucky you. But that's still ok. Women=Hassle, IMHO)

tunstent3: Salamat, sir. I guess it's obvious I wrote it in a spirit of "Hmm...what's a nice thread to post that will, even for a short while, stop us from taking ourselves and others too seriously, and help us laugh at ourselves some?" (always a good thing). I also tried to focus on the more positive? aspects of the sport, and not dwell on the "Undesirable" types (sobrang hahaba, madaming tatamaan, tapos mao-offend, tapos kailangan sagutin na 'di kita inaaway', etc, etc..." Hassle lang.

:rolleyes: i guess it's the latter? bwahahahaha!....

hmmm... thinking about it, i'm a hybrid of the first and third types on the list, i believe... i usually fret when my guns don't fire (or even sound) the way I expect it to be, and would sometimes "step back" and "debrief" myself on what happened in every game -- assess the coulda, woulda, shoulda of the game
