You know you play too much when you:

 

Have to clear all your airsoft guns off your bed when you go to bed,

 

You go to a hotel and request a room that is "Near exits, away from windows, elevators, and on the 1st or 2nd floor"

 

You look at everything and think "Can it be more tactical?"

 

Your room looks more like the gun workshop at your local shop

 

You buy tactical gear that will be used for non tactical reasons and consider it normal (the NCstar tactical Apron comes to mind)

 

People ask how many guns you have and you have to take a minute to count, and then you respond "Rifles, Pistols, SMGs or others?"

 

You consider it normal to wear a dump pouch and tac belt everywhere

 

You visualize rails on everything.

 

You watch movies and look for the hi-cap winding wheels on the guns mags

 

You get mad for not knowing a gun/optic system in a movie/tv show

 

You cant just buy a gun and take it too the field, you need $200 in upgrades

 

All your friends wonder how you have money to eat

 

You cant vacuum your house without sucking up hundreds of bbs

 

You pull your wallet out of your pocket and bbs fall out with it.

 

You go camping with your full loadout on.

 

You are shocked to find that you cant wear tactical boot to formal events

 

I could go on all day but... its 12 midnight here in hawaii :P

1 ... you starve yourself even though you have over £200 in your wallet because there's a gun you just have to buy.

2 ... you start randomly shouting grenade when things fall over in the room.

3 ... your friends come over for drinks and instead of buying booze, you brought an AK47.

4 ... you wake up with dimples all over your body from sleeping on a mattress of BBs.

5 ... you see derelict buildings and think, that's a cool Airsoft site.

6 ... instead of a sign saying beware of the pitbull on the gate, you have beware of the bullpup.

7 ... you wake up and get dressed into your combat gear on none skirmish weekends.

8 ... people stare at you walking down the street because it's a Sunday and you're wearing your full kit.

9 ... Rambo took a bullet to the shoulder, and you call out "TAKE YOUR HIT!".

10 ... you start looking at objects around the house and imagining what gearbox you could put inside it to make it fire BBs.

11 ... calling for help in a supermarket you shout "MARSHAL!".

12 ... your speedometer on your car has FPS instead of MPH.

13 ... you call out "BANG!" whilst being held up at gun point, and then proceed to argue with the person that they are now dead.

14 ... you can talk about a gun for more than 5 minutes solid.

15 ... anything stronger than cardboard is seen as effective cover.

16 ... you fill up your lighters with red gas instead of lighter fuel.

23 ... you start claiming fights between your friends as 'Blue-on-blue'.

24 ... you have to scan a hedgerow to make sure no-one's hiding in there.

25 ... you start looking for tags on people to see if they are your friend or not.

26 ... walking with your mates you keep a 10 foot spacing.

27 ... anything hits you, you stick a hand in the air, call "HIT" and walk towards the nearest hospital.

28 ... you're playing video games and claim that sniper with the 30 kill streak isn't taking his hits.

29 ... you're hobbling about the house because you keep standing on that random BB that's escaped your gun bag.

30 ... you have magazines, top slides, slings, gas, allen keys and sights on your work desk.

31 ... you stop referring to your work desk as a work desk, just a gun bench.

32 ... your tool box consists of Allen keys, gun lube and a Leatherman; all the other tools got sold for that new gun...

33 ... you use gun oil instead of KY jelly with the missus.

34 ... you've woken up with a serious hang over and found your gun lying stripped next to you with a Systema tune up kit fitted.

35 ... you see dead people wherever large groups are congregating.

36 ... you tell your mates you'll meet them in the dead zone, rather than at the pub.

50 ... you take up firing positions when you hear loud noises.

51 ... you buy 2 bags of ammo to keep you going for a few games, and end up having to buy more next game.

52 ... you get annoyed at people in films who take 100s of shots without reloading, then you realise there using a high cap.

When your brother won't watch TV/play video games with you anymore because you won't "Shut up about how unrealistic the freaking guns are! NO ONE CARES!"

 

True story...

 

Had that one say many times with a few of the missus', friends and even family. Though saying that one or two of them have tried guessing themselves, they get the company and sometimes the basic model right but after that, well it is fun for me to watch :P.

When your colleague calls in sick, AGAIN, and you think to yourself 'The guy is about as reliable as WE / Z1 / a VFC GBB / .

 

Had to fix that one for you :P

 

Still point taken, then again you know when you play too much when you attend a work breifing with 50-60 people and one bloke just wont shut up complaining about his area of expertise and how the paper mill managers don't seem to care about him and all you can think is 'shut up geardo *albartroth*' :P

You know you're on the forums too much when some random airsofter flags you down in tescos because they recognise the name on your nametape on your rucksack.

 

 

Yup True story!

 

 

Also happened to me before as I have my screen name on the molle daysack I use as a toolbag for work...

You know youve been playing too long when:

 

You cant enter deep philosophical conversation with a friend about how:

 

FPS<Hopup Performance

 

Full metal doesnt mean anything

 

FPS Doesnt mean range

 

TM>Any Chinese Clone

 

Why GBBR's are actually skirmishable

 

What LiPo ready ACTUALLY means

 

Most guns can take a LiPo stock

 

Any finally: Why G&P is better than KWA

I built one that works. :L

 

I said first batch, the ones that appeared in 2006. If you can get one of them to chug along reliably well done. But as even experts can't I don't see it happening :P

 

As for me one: When, if in any other situation people would think you are an insane gun nut they just say 'he is an airsofter' and all is well.

1. your right index finger is always intentionally straight, especially when you are holding something about the size of a pistol grip

 

2. your hand never leaves your waist. not because pain or your butt is itching......

 

3. whenever you raise your hand to say hi, you salute
