You know you're into WW2 Airsoft when...

as for marrige, dont do it,
its nearly always a arguement , if i even talk airsoft, let alone buy anything

the only arument you will see with me is if i dont get invited to go along

50. when you know you aint going to get a lass as you've spent your budget on kit.....(plus can you imagine her face when she finds out what your hobby-or is that life?- is...)

51 and the mans magazine you own is a copy of 1942 Parade....

52. when you have scoured every thread and post in the U.S. ww2airsoft site, and move to the UK ww2 airsoft site to do the same.

53. When your friends think you're speaking japanese when in fact you just talk about marushin, tanaka, marui, and maruzen too much.

54. When the mere mention of the film Windtalkers sends shivers up your spine.

When you spend to much time listing reasons......

55: You don't say "Bosses office" anymore. You call it "Der Fuhrerbunker"
56: Scho-ka-kola has become your chocolate of choice.
57: You pity those Airsofters with RIS rails and an obsession with the latest and greatest toys bolted to it.
58: You prefer Locap magazines.
59: Mitchell and Webb's "Doenitz sketch" becomes funny. No, seriously...
60: You look at a beaten up old Landrover and think "i could build a Humber or Skdfz 222 on that chassis"

58: You prefer Locap magazines.

that is a good one. the other day i had someone say "why would you want more locaps?" to me.

Guilty as charged.

61. When seeing other softers wearing modern day kit you have to suppress the urge to call them Farbs.

62. You find posts like this on the WW2 Reenacting boards deeply engaging and it makes you smile when you know your jumpsuit is the same colour as an original:

I love this one from ATF in their "what is khaki" illustrative page:

Key: (A) SM Wholesale (SPR), (B) Original, (C) Original, (D) ATF, (E) Original reinforced, (F) ATF, (G) Original (Sigmund Eisner), (H) Original, (I) Original, (J) ATF, (K) Original (Rogol Mfg.) unissued.

63. When you'll buy virtually anything with a 1944 or 1943 date on it.

(Though I'm not so keen on the indian magazine I've found on ebay that's Nov 1944 as its a few months too late for my impression, despite it being the first issue I've found of that magazine after several month's searching.)

64. When you routinely enter the same set of strings into the EBAY search bar like: "WW2 US", "WWII US", "Militaria", etc

65: When you have those listed under "favorite searches" on eBay already

I feel normal though I already have 2 from 1940 one a ladies magazine (if you can call them that) about ladies things and the other has a radio guide in it ... they were cheap I couldn't resist not indian tho

66: At this time of year you're usually buying kit for the upcoming ice hockey season. However this year you're wondering if you really NEED custom sticks, or if you could make do with stock and get a shiny Garand or Trench gun with the rest of the cash...

67. when you start topics called "You know you're into WW2 Airsoft when..."

68. When your Map case has a copy of "US Service personnel in Great Britain 1943" inside it. Or any other miscellaneous items that have no modern day relevance.

69. When you wish that your airsoft guns made the same sound as the guns on WW2 films make.

70. When you wish you could afford the Gas blow Back 1918 Browning Auto Rifle worth about 3k

71. When you can't fix dinner, but can fieldstrip and assemble a M1941 Coleman Stove with your eyes closed.

hehe, my ex used to make comments about my ability to put a hot dinner together half way up the side of a Scottish mountain in a blizzard, yet be utterly useless in a fully equiped kitchen...

Sounds kind of familiar to me too

72. when you think SPAM still means food.
73. when the Sho-ka-co-la rush has kept you awake for more then 48 hours.
