Getting To Know The Opfor Part 2, Why You're Still Not Cool Despite What Your Mom Says

Now that you understand knowing personality types if important, let's talk details. The difference that makes you, me, and that poor guy we sent home crying last weekend. "Mom, I tried my best." *sniffling* Ha-ha, what a loser. Anyway, details...

Admit it, when you put on that plate carrier and sling that sexy M4, you feel like hot sh*t. Who doesn't? But chances are you are also acting like you're hot sh*t. Hey it's cool, I think I'm hot sh*t too, but there is a difference between the way we act in the parking lot and the way we act on the field. Perceptions can be deceiving and expecting your buddy to act like the tier one operator he thinks he is in the parking lot may not be the smartest thing to do. We're posers right? And because we are, chances are this whole facade may be an act. Therefore knowing who you can count on when it comes to it, means the difference between being like me or like that guy who told his mom he tried his best.

Airsoft personality types from A-Z

Aggressive -
There is nothing wrong with being aggressive; it's a fundamental personality trait of airsofters. The problem lies in those who let their feelings of aggression overcome their good sense and tactical capabilities. Hey, eliminating tangos feels good and is rewarding, but when you’re driving need to tear the opfor apart interferes with your team's overall ability to complete their assigned objective, is it too much? ABSOLUTELY. If you're in it for the milsim experience then nothing takes priority of your mission. This involves getting sidetracked in your head to go shoot someone. Did the SEALS from Tears from the Sun complete their mission by destroying the opfor? Well yes they did, BUT prior to that they tried their hardest to avoid the enemy in order to complete their mission. Their engagement with the enemy was a result unforeseen circumstances that disrupted their plan. It happens, but the point is they tried to complete their mission with minimum casualties and minimum kills. Aggression has a time and place and that is when it's when required to execute in order to successfully complete your mission.

Passive - 
This guy can be considered Moriarty to aggression’s Sherlock Holmes. This is the guy that doesn't really want to attack but he also doesn't really want to defend. While your captain is assigning guys to the recon team, this guy is thinking to himself, "Well maybe if I blend into that scrub over there nobody will ask me to do anything and I'll still look cool." Guess what buddy, you never looked cool and we're not going to ask you to do anything because we already knew you were useless. Do us all a favor and go back to whatever World of Warcraft cave you came out of and do what you do best, leveling up and not having a girlfriend.

Part 3, will discuss the other two personality types, patient and resistant.


On a side note I have been getting a lot of feedback about putting pictures up along with my blog to make it less bland. After telling these people to shove their feedback up their @ss and to tell their wives to stop calling me in the middle of the night, I decided to do it.

So...

God bless America and God bless f*cking Chuck Norris!
