Airsoft Addiction Anonymous

[Conker]

I'm on the geardo side. I usually spend a whole evening before a game (that is 5PM to ???AM; usually 8 hours and up) preparing my gear, putting it on, doing drills in the basement, doing mods, changing pouches setups, painting helmets, sewing stuff, etc to make sure everything is setup properly, comfortable and that I don't forget anything.

And that is not taking into account the time spent on forums/eBay/etc looking up new gear and staying up to date with what is currently in us... it's probably longer than my work week.

Games last 6 to 8 hours most of the time, so now it comes to a point where gearing up is the main event, the game is just an excuse.

While I haven't bought a gun in ages I've been buying accessories. Lights, ir lasers, excessive night vision. It's bad. I caught myself looking at buying a gun, so I could buy a scope, so I could buy a laser, so I could put a night vision unit I don't yet own on it, and then water transfer it all ATACS. I haven't slept in weeks. I can only see the colour green now.

MILSIM OpSec is more important to maintain than my Sex Life OpSec.

lol well done

I am very happy I am not alone.. Also glad I am not as bad as others.

I check between 7 different sites for new products and gear, watch youtube videos daily of new products and some game play. Now this has evolved into real Contour cam war videos. I have as I type about $400 in the mail transaction of a new pistol and A-Tacs AU gear. All after just finally completing a CADPAT load out. I walk into P-Mall shops just to hang out and talk airsoft, love the community happy I am not the only addict.

My girlfriend thinks I am going to join the CF and my friends just like to see what I get next shake there head without understanding but then cant put my AEGs down the whole night.

All in good fun. I think what really balances things out is getting out and playing once or twice a week.
