Let's broaden our minds!

My contribution: <span style="font-weight: bold">GLOCKOPIA</span>

<span style="font-style: italic">definition:</span>

The myopic inability to perceive the worth of any pistol as a solution for any task at hand other than this Austrian-bred TactiTupperWare.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Marks</span> - as in Mk. Any Non-Military who believes and/or practices the idea that the US military (specifically SOCOM) is the ultimate authority in firearms. For example, "SEALs use the Mk11, thus it is the greatest sniper rifle of its kind. Only the Mk12 or Mk13 should be considered as alternatives." Marks will relentlessly pursue information to insure they know what piece of gear the SEALs use pirates. The natural defense mechanism of the Mark is to chastise any weapon clone/build not to "spec".

Oh man, I HATE these people, little do they realize, mil-spec equip is lowest bidder... I get so tired of everything being compared to what the Navy SEALs use. "I heard The Navy SEALS use these socks, therefore I will only use these socks"

<span style="font-weight: bold">Nonaphobe</span> - (1) Any individual stricken with nonaphobia (2) Any person showing unnecessary disdain for the 9mm Parabellum round. Nonaphobes consider owning a 9mm for any purpose (including plinking, practice, concealment, or suppression) to be emasculating.

Re: Non-existent gun words/terms that NEED to exist

<span style="font-weight: bold">Velociphile</span> - Any individual with an unhealthy fixation on velocity and/or total disregard for other ballistic factors. Velociphiles will engage in absurd rituals for marginal increases in velocity in order to push inferior rounds past optimal ranges. Velociphiles have longer than average barrels, but have absurdly short barrel lives. Often, velociphiles will be unsatisfied with available chamberings and will "wildcat" newer, faster chamberings. The most notable being a 20mm necked down to an .17 which boasted an average barrel life of 3 rounds.

Re: Non-existent gun words/terms that NEED to exist

McMillafobia:

The fear of buying a stock that is worth it's price.

McMillafobes will buy other stocks that have similiar parts that do the same thing but cost less because they are afraid of HYPERMcMillifilia due to buying one more McMillan stock for teh next rifle


USOpticafobia
The irrational fear of buying a superb scope from a small company in Buena Park, So-Cal


Frankabanafobia
The fear of getting banned from the site by Frank.
This irrational fear is a tell tale sign by the wording that the individual uses. All wording in their post is very neutral and almost borders on being 'Politically Correct' so as not to offend and thereby become banned

Re: Non-existent gun words/terms that NEED to exist

<span style="font-weight: bold">Ricochits</span> - (pronounced: rick-o-shits) Any avid shooter who shoots with total disregard to personal and public safety. Ricochits have multiple origins. They can be found in both public and private venues. Public ricochits tend to emulate scenes from popular movies and have poor muzzle discipline and range etiquette. Private ricochits tend to shoot on privately owned land not equipped for shooting. Common characteristics include improper or no back-stop for high-power rifles and wasting ammo with mag dumps into water or into the horizon. Both of these breeds are know to engage in what experts call "bump firing".

FYI, we always called these guys "gear queers". Not sure if that will pass the PC test, but a team room isn't that type of environment anyway.

Here's my contribution to the dictionary:

<span style="font-weight: bold">The 1.0Noes</span> - guys who read a gun mag or watch "Future Weapons" and decide they MUST have the very first run of a new gun. Then, once they get it, they flame the forums with all these issues "that should have gotten worked out during testing." I'm sorry, but the risk you take with getting the newest toy is that the kinks are almost never worked out.

Not necessarily just guns, but...Blactical - 'cause everyone knows black is THE ultimate tactical color. Color something black, call it "tactical" and you can double the price!

Re: Non-existent gun words/terms that NEED to exist

<span style="font-weight: bold">Super Scoper</span> - Any rifle shooter that insists on using an expensive tier 1 precision scope (example: S&B, USO, Hensoldt, etc) despite the fact that he has no use/understanding of:
Mil-dots
Range finding
Elevation adjustment
Windage adjustment
Parallax
Trajectory
Ballistics
MOA
Mils
Tracking
Focal Planes

Super Scopers rarely travel far from their comfort area (50-200y). Once zeroed, their scopes are never adjusted again. If the magnification is adjustable, it may never leave the highest setting. Super Scopers use an elusive defense mechanism of claiming to want the best so they and not their gear is the only variable in their shooting.

I thought a "gear queer" was someone who always buys the new tactical flavor of the month merely because it's the hip, new thing. Sort of like a tactical fashionista.

The unrestraineble urge to blame a bad wind call on Coriolis when shooting under 1,000 yards.

<span style="font-weight: bold">OCDbreakinaphilia</span>
The obsessive compulsive need to break in a lapped barrel with thousands of strokes of a bore brush, and abrasive compounds during the first 50 shots out of the barrel that will require another 50 Final Finish projectiles because the cleaning was just not enough.

Let's not forget the <span style="font-style: italic">velocirappers.</span> They, too, worship at the altar of speed, and they just won't STFU about it, bending the ear and wearing the canals therein down of anyone close enough to catch the glory of their weapon that can break the earth's escape velocity of 17k mph while it projects a bullet measured in micrograins. Yes, fear them.

Yes but for good reason. I too am affected. But hey at least we know what a real safety is. YES that means Glocks don't have a real safety people they have a trigger and that's it.

Conversely, we also have the "OPTIPHOBIC." This individual scoffs at the notion of paying three, two, or even one thousand dollars for a scope! Nay, only an imbecille would pay more than two or three hundred...and that's for a "top-ender."
They can do anything you and your $2,800 S&B can do - with their $59.00 Barska "supermegaubertactical" scope they snatched up "for a steal" at the local gun-show.

Naturally, this affliction extends to rings, mounts, rails, etc., as well. His UTG gear, tried and tested in at least three backyard sessions of ten to fifteen rounds at 23-yards has proven his gear is every bit as GTG as your fancy, hardcore "operator" gear!

Re: Non-existent gun words/terms that NEED to exist

<span style="font-weight: bold">Groupee</span> - Those afflicted with a crippling obsession of group size. Despite point of impact vs. point of aim, repeatability is the only concern of a groupee. A shot may be 8 feet off target, but so long as all shots are in the same hole, it's all good. Some groupees tend to be deceptive in using photo manipulation and lying to impress others of their kind.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Remtarded</span>
A mental condition that renders the affected one unable to see or comprehend the fact that a Savage is inherently more accurate.

Used in a sentence:
Remtarded, Frankie left the gun shop with an inferior product, on which he will spend thousands more, trying to get it to shoot as well as a stock Savage.
