Why You Think You're Better Than Me

Sooo... you're probably wondering how I know, right?

Am I a psychic? Did you tell me when we were out getting drunk the other night? Was I part of the opfor you destroyed at the last game? Not likely, the reason is because I used to be you. That's right, whatever you are or think you are that was and used to be me. Does this mean were soul mates? NO. Besties? MAYBE. Individuals with a common hobby? ABSOLUTELY!

So what is it?

How about I start by telling you what it's NOT. It's not because you're better at airsoft than me. Good! Now that we have that out of the way, let's talk details. Here are the three reasons you think your better than me...

1) Guns

2) Gear

3) Guns & Gear

Sounding familiar? I thought so. If it doesn't than you're either in the place that I am in right now or you're in denial the same way an alcoholic is in denial about being an alcoholic. Don't like my comparison? That's because you know I'm right.

Anyway back on topic:

Why you think you're better than me. Are you rolling hot with that replica CIRAS plate carrier? Do you hold your primary like Chris Costa from Magpul Dynamics? Did you modify your new HK416 to look like a replica of the style carried by tier one delta operators? The answer is YES! Now don't get me wrong doing stuff like this doesn't make you a bad guy or anymore of a poser than I am. Hey I do it, who doesn't want to look like a tier one operator? However, what it does do is create the potential to turn you into an @sshole. Why is this? History has proven that the guys who got it, know they got and make sure everybody else knows they got it.


Having the coolest gear and coolest guns are awesome,  hey that's a big part of airsoft, but letting it get to your head isn't. I've been to a number of fields where guys came out rolling 20lbs worth of gear with the most legit guns I've ever seen and then were summarily owned by the opfor come game time. Blame it on cheating, blame it on the scenario structure, blame in on your teammates failings, but you know what the real problem was...YOU. @ssholes ruin everything and acting like one because you know you and your stuff is the best and assuming that fact alone guarantees victory "ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on".

This isn't everyone, heck it might not even be you, but if you play you've either been this guy at one time or have seen them out there getting it handed to them. Now like I said facts are facts and my facts are what I used to be this guy, room to talk you say, yes I have some. Why? Because I was a big one! Man did I enjoy show boating, who wouldn't? All it earned me was undeserved confidence and hatred from a lot of people though. Acting like this has repercussions and although you may not have seen them yet karma will make sure that you do. Worried? Either Google karma so you can learn how to kill it otherwise you'll have your day.

Now let's talk about why you might be better than me. Teamwork and tactics, these words go together like peanut butter and jelly. Man, I could be wearing civi's carrying my mags in my pockets and running a WalMart gun but if I have teamwork and tactics consider yourself owned. My chances of owning you just multiplied exponentially. This is where the heart of airsoft lies and all the guns and gear in the world isn't going to get it for you. Some of us have this in spades and some of us don't, either way you want to be better than me? GET IT!
