Airsoft Addiction Anonymous
 

Anonymous, yes.... Sureeeeeeee......

So I spend almost all day(even at work) browsing and surfing just looking at airsofts, especially Hi-Capas, and checking ASC on my iPhone... Thinking about what kind of builds are possible, trying to put things together in my mind...

I get home, first thing I do - log onto ASC and check out Classifieds... again, looking at airsoft pictures again..........

Before I sleep. Check ASC one last time, see any new posts etc... Still thinking about Hi-Capa mods etc, while finally tugging myself in with my M4 in hand... (this last part was a joke)


Soooooooooooo yea... I THINK I'm kinda addicted to Airsoft??? I have like at least 3 guns on order right now, missing them each day... When will my babies come? This is a good thing, the wait. Because if there was a store where I can just walk-in and buy what I want, I would be sleeping on the streets by now - hugging my M4.... ;) (again, this last part... I am jk)

So who else has experience this?... ;p

I need help. I'm glued to ASC and my AEGs r stuck to my body.

Yup same here. I really need therapy but can't afford it because I spend whatever the mortgage doesn't eat on airsoft.

Looks like I'll join the party too

Write reviews/guides and post pics of builds.

Put something out there for us to read and gaze at.

I know a guy that puts on all his gear to surf ASC at night, I swear it's not me tho, honest!

I dont even have a job and I spend all my money on airsoft. Every Anniversary present from my Girlfriend has been airsoft related. Like teriases said, every free moment I have Im looking at pictures of airsoft guns, loadouts, RS pics. Its a problem.

Is it wrong to wear your gear all day, even when you shower? I don't think so

Side story, So I went to a local Chinese convenience store today to get a snack (ended up geing cherry mentos, best things ever) and I spot on the wall 3 double eagle aegs (G36c, M4, and Ak) just out in the open, almost like a shrine. My eyes almost dropped as I'm surprised a tard Univer. student hasn't picked them up yet. I laughed even harder when I asked the guy for pricing and he said like $377.99 for each. Got to love my fellow chinese ripping the city's citizens.

If you don't have it, get it. (The paid version)

It has it's glitches, but it is the best forum browser app out there.

Hi, my name is Scarecrow, and I'm a airsoftaholic.
Hi Scarecrow.
Its been 2 days since I last fondled my collection.
I'm looking for a sponsor. I get these urges to buy guns and gear and I can't overcome it. Last week I spent the milk money on a new PDI120 spring. The wife made me sleep on the couch and isn't speaking to me.

I swear to god one of these thread pops up every few month lol. I think the last one was started by Brian.

:banghead:

at least it's out of the financial reach of the average idiot that just wants to fuck around, that is unless you have rich idiots on the loose out there.

You forgot idiots with large credit limits and no common financial sense. On that basis I qualify.

I'm not sure your on the right website to find a sponsor. A sponsor is someone who is winning the battle against addiction, not an addict that doesn't want to quit. ;) (And I certainly don't want to quit)

hehhhehhe I guess you are "above average" :D

Yes, I have the paid one... ;) Addictive as hell.

Work isn't work without at least 5 hrs of looking at classifieds! :D heheh.... ahhhh....

Anyways, glad I'm not alone. This is becoming a problem no? U know, pulling airsoft away from me at least isn't a solution, I'll just get more addicted. I think OHIP should start an special "Airsoft Addiction Therapy" fund.

When I own every possible gun I want, I think... I hope... Then maybe, just maybe I'll stop! :)

Don't worry Scarecrow! It works this way - buy all you can... Then sell it after!!! It'll break even!

Wait... But I love these guns... *hugs* Oh well... ;) hehehe


I think I need to add the term "Otaku" to this thread... I think... I'm an Airsoft Otaku....... -_-;

It never stop...

This difference between above average and deadbeat is approximately one VISA payment.

I'm an airsoftaholic but I don't buy stuff. I think all day about airsoft stuff, loadouts I could make or variation of loadout. When you are at school and you can't concentrate on what the teacher is saying because you have two loadout in mind and you don't know wich one you wan't to make, It's frustrating cuz you didn't cash a word of what he said during 2 hours and you still don't know what assault vest you want. F*ing sucks

+1... that's exactly my problem.... and I'm starting a gbbr project so... all my summer job money goes into it... FML!

Here's what you do.

1.Get all your stuff.
2.Put it in a big pile.
3.Burn it.

Is that so hard?

Wash your mouth out with soap.

No airsofter worth their weight in BBs would commit such Blasphemy!

I will have to admit, even though I don't play I still hoard guns.

It's so sad...my collection keeps getting bigger and these guns have no uses.

Sigh.

:popcorn:

want me to do you a favor, whats your address. o.o

I know a guy that takes off all his gear late at night and ...'s to it.

Your on the right road to recovery, next step is giving up this "BB Bastard business".........

...
What made you come to Airsoft Ad- Scarecrow, we don't allow magazines here. If you could put down the speed loader-- NO put the BBs in the garbage..


ok lets move on- SCARECROW where did you get another bag of bastards from! Thats right you own the company :/

*Guy beside*: I'll buy some .28s after


...

I am myself a professional therapist, and I can come and admit that I do have an airsoft addiction like the rest of you. Im on ASC 24/7, I hover my finger over the F5 key and impatient wait for a new post or a reply. It is the worst addiction ever and I'm always itching to buy new stuff.

Wow I'm glad I'm not alone.

Hi my name is Garcia. I'm addicted to Airsoft.

I probably spend like several hours a day on ASC just reading different topics and see what people have up in the classifieds. I've only been into Airsoft for like 3 weeks now? And have bought like.. 5 different things so far? The only thing stopping me from buying other stuff is cash flow :P.

I guess I should introduce myself

Hi my name is Najohn (nay-jon)

I've been on ASC for almost a year now and still don't own a gun, yet.

I did though buy items for a gun I was suppose to get, and am now accumilating gear from anyone (got a nice pair of goggles for free)

I'm on the forums quite frequently.

I was the one who started the massive P90 thread ( which company makes the best) and apologize for those who were "hurt" by the posts

Good job guys, im glad you are learning to let things out. The first step of recovery is to come to acceptance with your addiction, realize its effect on your life its disempowerment on your life choices. This is the first step to recovery! Good work today!

Hi Im Unstable 1 and my wallet weighs next to nothing because of airsoft. My wife wants to leave me because we don't go out for dinner but my M4 has a new front set...

It is like being a drunk who owns a bar isn't it? Reminds me of an episode of Breaking Bad where Jesse and his friends join an AA group so they can sell drugs to their members...

I am an airsoftaholic.

I am a airsoft gun-pr0n-aholic.

I am NOT however, a gear whore...


last line is the lie

I'm an airsoft-holic.
And a magpul-holic.
I was thinking of making a "UN Owen was Costa" vid.

I need serious help.

My Name is Spawn and im addicted to airsoft.
I have spent so much money on gear and guns i think i put Mastercard on the map.

I don't want to talk about it.

It's not a problem until you say it's a problem.

Steel guns are hot.

QTF
the amount I've spent on guns? IT'S OVER 9000!! and like $100 in gear, lol

Get her into airsoft... Have ur cake and eat it too! ;)

Yea my wife is upset at me too... I'm running out of room to hide my guns.

Eventually, it'll be like this : "hi just sit tight while I get some tea, thanks for visiting today!" *opens cupboard, and an SIG P228 falls out*. Hehehe...

@thenooblord : I can imagine u going to a game with 20 guns in a reallllyyy big sac - that costs $100 ;) who cares about reloading when u can pull another gun out o ur bag? Hehehe :D

hey I literally do that....cept i got the bag for free

Instead of walking by stores and wishing I had that item in the window, I surf the classifieds on ASC doing the exact same.

I am a gun enthusiast and have been since I was about 6.
I am a Gear Whore, every time I walk into ANY store, I try to find something to compliment one of my loadouts. (Includes the dollar store XD)
I am a forum troll :D anyone who knows me, knows exactly how bored I can get at work.


I'm pretty :p

Airsoft Addiction Anonymous
 

Dollar store?! Give me an example!!! :O

But i do agree, work isn't work without ASC! ;) wait, I have a call.... Ok I'm back.

@Thenooblord, I can't wait to see u in a game! I want to see "the walking armory" in action!! ;)

Yea Im addicted to airsoft everyday I'm checkout sites changing gear selection round asking managers 30 question and I still got no job, am underage, and only own 1 gun and it's crap.. Hell for eye pertection I wear ski goggles.... Cheap ones .....



Atleast I'm in good shape and getting some sun unlike gamer nerds

Gotta say that I literally spend 8 hours a day or more on this forum. I find myslef trying not to troll so hard but really its not easy. I surf the classifieds and check out retailers sites for what I'm going to buy. My extra cash (airsoft cash) is spent before I get it, I already have an online cart full of stuff on airsoftparts.ca for this friday....

Think I have this airsoft addiction you are all speaking of.

I too am an Airsoft addict... I spend my freetime here and fondling my AEG, not quite at gear wearing and surfing ASC though. (Give it time...)

Raise your hand if you fill your online shopping cart before you have the money to pay for it.

You go and buy a $500 AEG, I don't see a problem. You want a GBB pistol. I'm still cool. You get a shotgun for CQB I'm still cool a GBB rifle because you like recoil alright, a SMG can't own them in canada so yeah why not. Then you go and forgo your mortgage to buy a gun.

Ok stop right there, you are now an Idiot. Unless you plan on starting a field, you just crossed the line from hobby to pointless waste of money.

I'll admit there are guns I want just for wall hangers, if you collect them fine. I collect knives I just spent $160 on there knives and I plan on another $700 for the rambo series.

All I'm saying is that if you forgo a mortgage for a bb gun you better have a reason.

I collect knives because I want a good hunting one, I plan on starting a hunting lodge, so any money I spend is an investment into a future business.

Sorry sir, but if you don't have a problem then why are you here? If this is some kind of mockery to you I ask you to leave.

this is true, his goggles were free

I just left the classifieds to read whats new on this topic now I am leaving...to go see the classifieds.

ya im addicted to ASC. Im always on, even when im in class I logged on and see whats new or before I go to sleep, I just like reading interesting stuff about airsoft.

*Raise hand*

I also just recently woke up with my new vest on with my M16 slung to me via single-point stock sling. Both it and my SiG552 are mounted on my wall directly above my bed. I go to sleep facing them, and wake up facing them.

at least i know im not alone here

right now i have shit in my cart at ehobby, airsoftparts, and airsoft-club wating to drain my money away and like others, i could sit and browse airsoft sites all day just thinking what to buy next

Money planned for this years armoury of 2010 (this inlcudes weapons, ammunition, and gear) $900 CAD.


money spend in the PAST 2 MONTHS ONLY, $7508.69 CAD. yes thats over SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!! in the past two months! BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH GOD DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







*I have a problem







.

To be honest, I don't actually spend much on airsoft since eventually I can sell it back but only one thing that cost me so much money and never get back is girlfriend thingy, I never be able to get my money back and actually can't resale it back.

Before I have a gf, I got like 10 to 15 guns in my closet include two PTW but eventually I'm not actually broke, I got enough cash for school, weekend night and extra. My life is upside down when I actually got one. My friend ask me if I regret, I told them the only thing that I regret is I should have look for a gf long time ago. It's just make my life better even now I'm so broke.

How should I seduce my banker so she lends me more money for...you know....investments?

I forget who said it on here but its so true.
"Airsoft makes heroin look like childrens tylenol"

I have an airsoft addiction. Everyday I would go to the classifeds and checkout the new gear people posted and look at pretty pictures of guns. I've been a gun nut for a very very long time, ever since I was a kid, I just love the look of 'em. I have three and I was contemplating about getting a fourth, a G36-K. I need to save for school! And I just order a bunch of stuff like a new vest and such. Not to mention I got a pistol in the mail today.

Also, raise your hand if you bother your friends when you watch a movie with guns in it and commentate on the guns they're using, no muzzle awareness, and "where the hell is there trigger discipline?", or "Oh oh I'm getting that AK 74u tomorrow! except mines going to have this and this and that ..."

Damn it! Right when I left this thread I started to browse airsoftparts.ca

This week I am forgoing groceries in favour of some new gear for a new summer kit.

KD don't taste very good, but it's cheap.

What a bunch of sick fucks............................................. ......................










Looks like I'm in the right place..... afflicted with Sig Fever, Gear whoring symptoms of flectarnism and other camo hoarding tendencies. And multiple CIRAS vestibules.

There's just something about this forum I can't get off my homepage.. It's always on. I wonder how many hours I've spent on this forum. Crazy.

Who doesn't hold their airsoft guns while on the computer.. LOL

Hello, my name is Riley, and I have an addiction. I look at the forums every day for at least 2-3 hours. Although I'm no gun or gear whore yet, I spend many many hours a day thinking about what I'll spend my next chunk of money on.





I need help.

hi, i think i might be addicted, i have close to 6000 dollars in stuff.. and yet i have only been to one game(work schedule issue.)

damn if only i knew what i was getting into when i bought that jg for 300

*quietly hides his SCAR under the computer desk*

How about making video calls to ur friends on MSN pretending to be some fanatic holding ur rifle and trying to speak Arabic with ur face covered, and pointing to the sky with ur other hand... -_-; hehehe...

Oh God help me! It's Canada day and I feel like going on a spending spree!!!! Damn online stores! Never closes even on national holidays! >

GMoney is very addicted to the sport of Airsofting. Although I have had to chill out on the airsoft spending for awhile due to the fact I'm now buying a car, but I do have to admit that, I do like to grab one of two of my guns depending on what kind of mood i'm in, I like to set up a few targets in my basement and pop off a few rounds.
My new current favorite gun is the M-249 SAW I bought off of Ebay, and although it is only just a springer gun, it is still absolutely beautiful, I have and always will be addicted to the SAW and when I saw it on Ebay, YOINK!

She is an absolute beauty and I love holding her...

Here she is...

Well, it's fun to see i'm not the only one here. I'm always on that forum, looking at new post and constantly being in the classified. Just got my 2 guns i ordered one week ago and .. i can't even live a minute without holding them in my hand or looking at them, putting some accessories on them and trying to find what is the best on them.

God, i don't even have my loadout .. what will it be when ill have it !??

I just got my guns and i already want to order another, and another, and another, and .... You know what comes next. I just can't wait for summer to play on field and take my guns with me and play with them. I JUST CAN'TTTTTT WAIT !!

I just lost my job and im upset .. not because i lost it. Because i can't buy more airsoft stuff lol ! But when i'll find another, i'll be spending maybe too much money on this sport ! But it's worth it !

Airsoft addiction is not a problem in my opinion .. naaahhhh. It's a PASSION for all of us. And i guess this is why we are posting on this thread, sharing all this.

I indulged in the various airsoft boutiques in Taiwan. I found a kwc g17 Springer that I had to have. It started with one, now I have 1911, g17, p99 m9, p226 all sprinters and hanging in my room in Taiwan. Why I am addicted to these sprinters confuses me. Ssomeone, save me.

Hi, my name is Barf, and I'm a airsoftaholic.
Hi........Barf?
I vacation annually in the Shangri-la of airsoft and tour all the stores, then I go to the local izakaya and cry in my beer, because we don't have such beauty back home. Even worse, this year I have to decide.........wife or trip to Japan?

Take the wife ON a trip to Japan, double your duty free allowance and bring back more stuff.
Problem solved.



I don't have an airsoft problem. I just attract the guns naturally.

I need help I cant stop buying. Im on asc until 3 am and I wake up at 6am to go back on asc. Im addicted to chairsofting and airsofting. :(

Already did that. Didn't solve my airsoft problem, but I came back with a crapload of alcohol.

Hi everyone. My name is Delta and I suffer from Chronic Airsoft Social/Purchasing Disorder. I'm addicted to Airsoft so much that just to participate in a topic on ASC's front page I sold my username for charity. I'm now stuck wearing over sized women's underwear just so I can match with my ASC account. I do not download Tapatalk because I want to truly feel the real Airsoft Canada.

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.

Wow, seems there are abunch of us. Yesterday I was trying to find a movie on demand (free ondemand of course, $9.95 is too expensive, also its 2500 BB's) to see various loadouts and builds for future games (although I havent attended a game yet)

My wife keeps telling me "Are you still looking at guns?"

Next investment is full out A-tacs FG (pants, coat and boonie) while waiting to be AV'ed so I get see where to find the cheapest TM.

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.

lol well done http://www.ski-epic.com/gifs/g007_ci..._slow_clap.gif

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.
