My Name is______ and I have a problem
So... Since april 2005 I've accumulated 13 AEG and 12 Pistols.. which is all well and good.. you can't have to many guns.. Right?
But my real problem is gear... BDUs, Smocks.. LBV, Chest rigs, I can't seem to stop I want it all.. I ponied up serious $ just today to help a fella thin out his collection.. on his way out of active AS participation. I did not need any of it.. but now i have it.. and feel somehow.. sated.. This is getting to be nearly as bad as my Cigar problem.... Thank god I kicked the Scotch problem.. or I'd not be able to afford my new vices. Anyone else think they have tipped over into pathological territory in the gear buying?

if you can afford to have it and your regular life is still fairly normal, you are probably fine.

Yeah I've got my eyes set on 7-8 pieces of kits/bits of gear I'd just drool and kill to have. Wallet is saying no no right now.
Why? It just looks nice, I plan to use them all though once here or there though. I figure, if you're going to use it once and awhile, then sure. Ideally I'd bring an extra vest or set of pouches, never know when something will rip or need something for a specific game.

It's called GAS, or Gear Aquisition Syndrome.
No mather how people spin it, it's as bad as any Obsecive Compulsive disorder. Wether you have the money to support it or not. It just get more acute if you contract depts or neglect other important sphere of your life to support your compultion. If you feel it's comming out of control, or you have co-morbidity (for example, another aquisition syndrome in parallele), Seek Professionnal help. (That part is serious advise.)

You’re not alone Brian, I can’t help myself either. Every time I see a new piece of gear I can’t help but buy it. The next thing on my list is night vision, like I need that.

It's not exactly gear...
My name is Mark and I have GAS. (That would be GBB Aquisition Syndrome) At twenty and counting, and of every shape and size, it really does seem like an obsessive compulsive disorder... btw, is anyone selling? |

I'm a pouch whore. I have the same AEG that I started AS with 2 years ago, one GBB, a small selection of green and tan BDUs, but I could fill 2 duffle bags with pouches. help me

I have the affliction as well, my symptoms seem to be flectarnism, and vestitis.
These are my BDUs and vests I have aquired in the last year. BDUs - 4 different flectarns, Danish, German, Tibetan, and Danish snow. - Polish summer Pantera - Polish Desert Pantera(2sets) - Ukrainian/Russian TTsKo(2 sets) vests - Polish Desert Pantera armour carrier - Polish Summer Pantera Armour carrier - Wasatch(Tan) - split-front vest (Black) - CIRAS mar. (OD) I do have the sickness. But most of my wants have been satisfied now, except for some accessories and other bits.

I'm up to 16 guns and really only use one consistently.
I use the excuse, "This is how I get friends to come out and try it."
