It's ok, the first step is to accept it, we're all the same here.



:pac:

I am not in denial its just the last time the girls were in my walked in to find me disarming my 11 yr old brother who made the terrible mistake of pointing my steyr at me after i specifically told him not to touch it coz i just spent an hour cleaning and fixing it.

They just didnt understand the situation and then gave out to me.

Leftyflip

...And "bang-bangs"?

miniture

that would be any thing that when double tapped makes a bang noise eg GBB USP or my GBB desert eagle.

followed by boom-booms which would be grenades and the such that go boom

MerryDespot

You know you have a problem when one of your best mates asks you can he use your spare room for the weekend and you say no because you realise that shifting all of the airsoft gear would take you a minimum of half a day - and then you'd have to make the room look less like an armoury and more like a bed room.

ED E

OP is POTD

Airsoft forum is really topping boards right now.

se conman

My spare room does not look like an armoury.I converted the attic into an armoury and chucked all the junk that was in there into the spare room.The trouble is , I have too much kit and now I need the spare room ASWELL.
My name is se conman and I am an airsoft junky AND PROUD.

you know you've been playing airsoft to much when....

" every courior company that delivers to your area know your name telephone peronaly and will deliver to your work address without it having to be on the parcel''

'' the insurance company whats you to prove you have all that stuff ''

'' the insurance company mistakes your application for a shop and offers you business rates ''

'' your cats are so used to the sound of aeg fire they know no longer wake up ''

'' your partner who has never played airsoft and has no interest in it, starts to develop a strange and rather worryingly indepth knowledge of the hobby thought osmosis ''



and the big one for me when i noticed that airsoft had got to the stage of being a little bit more than your average hobbie....


'' your no longer known or introduced by name or even handle, but simply 'that ak guy' or the ' ak guy , and people know you " ( i would say richie could more than likely back this one up )

se conman

You know you've been playing airsoft too much
When there is a gap of less than 60 seconds between buying a new gun and thinking of what your next gun will be.
You have physically been in EVERY airsoft shop in the 32 counties.
You come out of an airsoft shop grumbling and disappointed because you have not bought anything .(your FIX).
You have more guns than she has shoes.
You always bring a full set of kit with you in the van just in-case you spot a mid-week game on your travels.
Your neighbours stop staring at you in full camo loading guns into your 4x4 at 7 am.

Living in an apartment I'm always a bit worried about this - but the early starts usually mean there's feck all chance of being spotted at 8am on a Sunday. However, the other weekend (for HRTA) I decided to stroll down to the car in full multicam, chest rig and all (obviously with the aegs bagged) ... queue me walking into my downstairs neighbour as he came in from his Saturday night slightly worse for ware. He screamed in the highest pitch I've ever heard from a man (was it the multicam?) and dropped his door keys. I was laughing all the way to the game. It was only afterwards that I realised that I'm probably now being pegged as the militia/survivalist nutjob in the block. They're a bit tree-hugger-ish around here...

they're a bit wussy around there I'd say

MerryDespot

That too mate, that too.
I'm ultra careful around my gaff as there isn't a single window in my place that's not overlooked by someone elses house or apartment ... which means that you can't just yank stuff out of cases with the blinds open - some hybrid driving liberal bed wetter would probably call the rozzers at the sight of a ... GASP ... rifle!! I'd rather not have to explain myself all the time.
... and, thinking that anyone who isn't happy firing off plastic bbs at other people is a complete waste of time is probably the last sign that you're completely addicted.

tonyj_mc

you know you've been playing airsoft to much when.... you go to buy a few mids caps for your AK 74 and you end up buying a GBB MAC11 and 4 mid caps

On the plus side Tony, at least you remembered the mid caps

You have twins. You christen them Tokyo and Marui.

You go to Amsterdam with the boys for the weekend. She dosn't mind. You brought your guns.

Your VFC 416 has oil. Your BMW 316 dosn't.

You buy the swimsuit edition of AI. First thing you notice is the lack of trigger discipline.

Getting naked means taking the Eotech off.

Getting Hot means the spring is too hard.

Going Commando refers to your loadout.
