M4: serial rape victim.

You'd think she would learn by now, wouldn't you?
Maybe a can of Tactical RIS-Capable Mace would be of better use than another knockoff surefire and a fake PEQ box ....
Lemme clarify, its your gun, you're more than welcome to stick any amount of tactical equipment to it that you like, and I do rape the hell outta some of my guns anyway so I can't exactly take the `moral high ground` in this issue, if indeed there actually is one. Mine are only for display and silliness though, like the Gigant Neo
But, in my opinion, and this is gonna offend a lot of people I'm sure, the use of accesories in a skirmish is counter-productive and, frankly, just plain silly 
The M4 is not always to blame of course, but she lies at the centre of a web of inappropriate accesorizing, so I use her as an example and have the following to say:
the number of people who physically skirmish with them = unbelievable
the equipment = unnecessary
the look of the guns = spoiled
the flagrant excess to which people apparently go to show off how much they can spend on one gun = ludicrous
my care for them = switched - to some `bare-naked` rifle with, perhaps, just maybe, either a foregrip or a grenade launcher if its really necessary.
That is it, no bipod, no box mag ('cept a SAW/GPMG), no tac lights (a lot of bloody use in a forest they are anyway, I must say), no laser, no McChicken sandwich, no courtesy car, no box full of paperclips, no tactical *fruitcage* ing flashlight/laser/automatic pencil sharpener combo meal - NO *fruitcage* ING NOTHING!!!
Ahem.
And the reason for this little outburst? Well, its all about hypocrisy, see.
The folks with gigantic budgets to spend on airsoft - apparently just for one gun - are most often the geardos who get all the cool looking tac gear and go for an authentic loadout. Now that is pretty cool although not to my taste, and I have nothing but admiration for anyone who gets off their lazy *albartroth* and creates an authetic look.
The dedication to that look would imply, fairly I would say, that realism is the key thing, an authentic look for an authentic feel to the day's play, and the authenticity should be making that player feel like a real soldier, or like they can properly play soldiers at least, and basically they are striving for realism all the way.
I reckon thats a fair assumption, n'est-ce pa? Please do tell me if you're a geardo who doesn't want to act like a soldier, I would be interested to hear the logic behind it 
Sooooo, getting finally to my point here; and this entry is the result of a process of deduction and one in which I hope no error has been made. Please virtually kick my *albatross* if I've got it wrong 
; the realism is key, a large proportion of real hardcore geardos have massively raped M4s or other guns hugely raped, yet that actually prohibits them from acting like real soldiers.
Why?
Ever carried a fully raped M4 into a skirmish? The weight of the thing prevents you from doing pretty much anything at all, its a cumbersome ponderous hindrance, and does nothing to help you actually win, far from it, it makes you unable to be as mobile as some common oik with an unraped Marui Beta-Spetznaz who, due to having a light and maneouverable gun, is now behind your sorry *albatross* and filling you and your mates with plastic.
Uh oh.
So I just don't get it, I really don't. I know for a fact that on average us airsofters are not the fittest or most generally athletic bunch of people - nothing compared to serving soldiers, absolutely nothing at all - and there are so few people you can see in a days gaming who actually make the effort anyway and go for a run at the enemy base, or sprint into position before the other guy, or do any real soldierly grunt-work at all, in fact! The proliferation of tactically raped guns is obvious and I have yet to see anyone with such a gun do anything apart from sit in a bush all day or spend most of the time in a dead zone.
So why be a hypocrit and strive for realism in all that you do, but then pick a gun thats heavier than your own torso and be forced to act like a civilian the whole day because of it?
Doesn't make any sense to me ....
**no geardos were harmed in the making of this entry, although I may be harmed as a result **
