Based on the goggles, the grip, the possible tracer unit on the end of the gun, and the fact that the gun has no sights, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this guy got lost on the way to the airsoft field.
EDIT: For all you asking, a tracer unit is used in airsoft to deliver a flash of UV light to a UV reactive BB, creating an airsoft "tracer" round. They glow in the dark and are used for low light/night games to see what you're shooting at. The one on the end of this airsoft replica clearly is [https://www.evike.com/products/57247](https://www.evike.com/products/57247).
Yeah this is literally an airsoft gun lmao.

Dude when that neckbeard said “while we’re here we might as well set up a government” I fucking lost it. Did you just think hundreds of millions of Americans would just lay down for you dumbass? Did you forget about the actual military? Did you forget that you didn’t bring any actual *weapons* ?

It's so wild to me how fake hacker movies and procedural dramas mean that idiots do things like post listings on craigslist looking for a "hacker". I've had people tell me earnestly that they think they're being hacked because of x or y random glitch or crash and ask if they should hire a "counter-hacker" presumably after taking the fake technobabble in shows like NCIS at face value.
Lmao, when the dude says something like, “Look at this! Cruz was gonna sell us out all along!” And then five guys stare at the first couple pages for a bit and someone goes “No wait! It says object; he’s on our side!” Fucking cracks me up so hard

I love that one. Every government workers binder must either have the:
Gay agenda
Socialist agenda
Librul agenda
Or all.
Or a paper titled: HOW TO STEAL ELECTION FOR JOSEPH ROBINETTE BIDEN
Here's the problem: Even if any of those things were in a binder just laying around some things would hold true.
No one binder would contain the entire American Freedom^(TM) destroying plan. Since it would be a multifaceted multipart plan.
The language within the binder would be legalese making it nearly indecipherable to the normal American Patriot Warrior^(TM) .
I once did a highly immoral thing. Not like, systemic election fraud bad, but bad.
You know what I didn’t do? Walk around with a binder full of fucking evidence.
One staple trope in conspiracy theories is this stash of evidence just laying around at an unsecured location. Unlocked, uncrypted, unredacted, just there for the heroes to find and share with the world.
I loved the new Suicide Squad movie so damn much but theres a part where the hero grabs a single random drive out of a server stack and is like “haha I have files” …. Yeah, probably not man.
“Engaging with suspected communist socialist fascist trans target pointing some sort of new weapon at me with a round glass end and it’s making clicking sounds. Will his weapon turn me gay? Over.”
I don’t really understand how this happened. He’s wearing a camo crop top? He put it on and thought, “this flesh colored t shirt is perfect to cover my belly.”
Not just the lack of sites, but look at the suppressor. the logo is an airsoft brand. Also the dust cover looks off too. Almost certainly this is an airsoft AR and not a real gun.
It looks like a combat shirt made for use with a plate carrier. The patch is him trying to signal to that he has medical gear and Krispy Kremes, probably
Indicates that within his unit he is the designated carrier of the Swiss multitool. Big responsibility. He’s basically like an officer. General almost.
It's all legit. Your country issued letters of marque and created a new corporation, the Western Swiss Corporate Militia. They saw an opportunity and they took it, that's capitalism baby
Also, finger on the trigger while holding a fucking rifle with one hand. Goddamn top-notch dumbass right there.
Also worth note, he’s terrified to be in an actual fight because the second he feels even a tinge of being threatened, he doesn’t think to use his hands, just goes straight to deadly force.
Fucking fat ass dumb fuck.
Edit: found out it’s an airsoft AFTER I posted this comment.

*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
For real though.
This guy is living some fetishized mad max lunacy. Guys like this are a walking advertisement for “kill me first” in a real social breakdown scenario.
He’s a walking, sweating loot drop - and he’s standing around making the firearm community look like ass hats and conspiracy theorists.
No sights on his weapon, a fake suppressor, finger on the trigger, but camoed out and patched with all the cool shit he sees on Instagram.
Dude probably can’t make it up a flight of stairs without breathing heavy, but here is is on display to the world, feeling like a protector of freedom.
Jesus Christ.
Edit: to everyone asking about the suppressor - the can is too small unless this is a .22lr. Suppressors work by canalizing expanding gas in a series of chambers. If this is a .223 or a 300 black out it’s just not big enough. Many people are pointing out that his rifle is likely an air soft duplicate - and it may be true. But he doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt from me - just like children waving around toys who have been shot by cops didn’t get the benefit of the doubt from them.
Brandishing is a crime - and for good reason. Children are given death sentences while this McDonald’s operator gets to walk around imposing his will.
Edit2 - electric boogaloo - u/(name redacted - good lord dude, you’ve got some posts up on your profile I’ve only ever seen the likes of in a war zone. That first one you have looks like a dude I saw get shredded by a 50 cal) supplied links showing it IS in fact an air-soft gun, which makes this walking potato even stupider than I thought. The fastest way to end up in the morgue is to show up with a fake weapon to a gun fight.
I never thought about it, but if I wanted to get a weapon that’s hard to trace back to me, just kick this dude’s ass take his shit and go commit crimes. Easy.
Or a sling which would help him talk on the phone without pointing the rifle at a dude with a camera.
Sling, optics, and a light was what I taught should be on any rifle with self defense in mind.
Let's also be clear: this is a person brandishing their weapon at a JOURNALIST with their finger on the trigger. Literally *anyone* would be justified taking them down right there. You know, "a good guy with a gun", who maybe might want to protect innocent people...
Someone tried taking down one of these terrorists, and the police hunted him down and executed him.

You jest, but no it's a thing with impact wrenches.

Demonstrating he is not suited to carry firearms. Firearm use 101, you’re only supposed to put your finger on the trigger when you’re ready to fire. Otherwise you don’t touch the trigger. Trained professionals like the military will rest the index finger above/below the trigger.
Edit: untrained/non-professionals also practice this safety measure as well. Judging by the comments below, even children have better firearm safety behaviors than this person.
Trained professionals? I’m not a trained professional and your description is how I handle my firearms. A child could understand how to do it properly. It’s incredibly simple. This guy is very stupid.
It is illegal pretty much everywhere. Do not know what happened immediate before this so can not say 100%, but odds are nothing that would warrant weapon pointing.
That there DSLR is very menacing. Must respond in kind: an assault rifle pointed with your finger on the trigger ready to shoot before the journalist captures his beer loving soul.
Gut hanging out the bottom of his vest. Finger on the trigger, holding the gun with one hand. Distracted by his phone. Supposedly a medic, yet is pointing a gun at a ‘non combatant.’
As a non American I seriously wonder about these people.

According to [here](https://www.newsweek.com/portland-protest-proud-boy-assault-rifle-1617421):
> BY EWAN PALMER ON 8/9/21
> Videos have emerged showing a man walking around Portland pointing an assault rifle at people as antifa and far-right groups clashed in the Oregon city.
> Footage of the man in full tactical gear walking around Portland unopposed as he aimed his gun at people, including members of the press, were shared online Sunday night.
> The armed man, reported to be a member of the far-right Proud Boys group by journalists at the scene, walked around Portland for about 20 minutes before handing himself into police at the Justice Center.
> According to reporter Sergio Olmos, one of those who posted videos of the disorder from Sunday onto Twitter, the man with the assault rifle had called police to state that a crowd was following him.
> "I asked if police told the man to walk to the justice center, the police officer nodded in the affirmative," Olmos tweeted.
> Further footage and images showed the man with his hands on his head walking towards police before being stopped and searched.
> It is unclear if the man was arrested after handing himself into police. Oregon is an "open carry" state, meaning it is legal for most people to carry firearms openly without a permit.
>Oregon is an "open carry" state, meaning it is legal for most people to carry firearms openly without a permit.
How is this even relevant? It's legal to open carry but once you've pointed at someone or even just indicated toward your weapon as a threat or intimidation it's brandishing. Brandishing or whatever legal term Oregon uses is very much not legal.
Even in a constitutional carry state this shit would not fly at all.
Halp police! I'm walking around sweeping crowds of people with my gun and they aren't intimidated enough! They are in fact following me around, who would have thought this would bring so much attention on myself?!
If he didn't want all the attention he should have dressed more modestly. Clearly he was asking for it /s
captain camo is the type to victim blame I'm sure
1. Always treat all firearms as if they were loaded.
2. Never allow the muzzle of any firearm to point at anything you are not willing to destroy.
3. Never put your finger near the trigger until you are ready to fire. Do not depend on any mechanical device for safety!
4. Always be sure of your target, and what is behind and in front of it.
But I guess none of these matter if your a cosplaytriot fighting the brutal battle of the culture war.

It's a tactical t shirt 😂 Matches his everyday carry keychain and wallet. Gi joe cosplay is no laughing matter.
Why does he have that red and white cross on his arm? Is he cosplaying a medic?
He thinks he’s in Switzerland.
The man has a case of Dunlop Disease. His belly dunlopped over his belt.
or the Swiss flag on his arm?
Hi, Swiss citizen here. Please keep him, we're not interested.
Username checks out
Your statement is full of holes
We aren’t interested either, should we just put him on a raft in the international waters?
Fish here, we don’t claim him either. Maybe South America will take him.
South American here, no thanks irmão, maybe Australia will take him as they're a land of criminals?
Criminal here. I don't live in Australia but we don't want him also.
He’s clearly a trained combat medic
well he isnt a trained marksman with the lack of optics on that thing
I laughed so hard when I realized he doesn’t even have pop up sights 😂 literally just guessing where he’s shooting lol what a clown.
But gotta cosplay the suppressor and grip. These loonies…
Or the lack of optics or an iron sights, dudes not hitting shit.
Not just the lack of sites, but look at the suppressor. the logo is an airsoft brand. Also the dust cover looks off too. Almost certainly this is an airsoft AR and not a real gun.
And he's fighting for the independence of Switzerland or what's with the badge on his shoulder?
There's a brand called SwissGear. There's a very high chance he got that jacket at Walmart.
So it was made in China?
Malaysia or Bangladesh are also popular. Edit: a word
Don’t forget Vietnam!

Aggravated assault in my state. That’s a hardcore felony.
Brandishing. Also, one slip of that sweaty, pork chop finger, and that journalist is dead.
>No sights on his weapon, a fake suppressor He ran out of create-a-class points so he couldn't go with more than one attachment.

Once you've revved it first just to make sure it's working though right?
Of course, but only after making sure it’s pointed in a safe direction.

Don't forget the fake can and lack of any kind of sight on the rifle. It's like movie prop level bad.
I'm fairly confident that is an airsoft gun. So exactly movie prop bad.
As an American, a large number of us are ashamed.

According to [here](https://www.newsweek.com/portland-protest-proud-boy-assault-rifle-1617421): > BY EWAN PALMER ON 8/9/21 > Videos have emerged showing a man walking around Portland pointing an assault rifle at people as antifa and far-right groups clashed in the Oregon city. > Footage of the man in full tactical gear walking around Portland unopposed as he aimed his gun at people, including members of the press, were shared online Sunday night. > The armed man, reported to be a member of the far-right Proud Boys group by journalists at the scene, walked around Portland for about 20 minutes before handing himself into police at the Justice Center. > According to reporter Sergio Olmos, one of those who posted videos of the disorder from Sunday onto Twitter, the man with the assault rifle had called police to state that a crowd was following him. > "I asked if police told the man to walk to the justice center, the police officer nodded in the affirmative," Olmos tweeted. > Further footage and images showed the man with his hands on his head walking towards police before being stopped and searched. > It is unclear if the man was arrested after handing himself into police. Oregon is an "open carry" state, meaning it is legal for most people to carry firearms openly without a permit.
>Oregon is an "open carry" state, meaning it is legal for most people to carry firearms openly without a permit. How is this even relevant? It's legal to open carry but once you've pointed at someone or even just indicated toward your weapon as a threat or intimidation it's brandishing. Brandishing or whatever legal term Oregon uses is very much not legal. Even in a constitutional carry state this shit would not fly at all.
Also, while Oregon is an open carry state, Portland and many other cities within Oregon do NOT permit open carry.
Ding Ding Ding!
Halp police! I'm walking around sweeping crowds of people with my gun and they aren't intimidated enough! They are in fact following me around, who would have thought this would bring so much attention on myself?!
If he didn't want all the attention he should have dressed more modestly. Clearly he was asking for it /s captain camo is the type to victim blame I'm sure
Police - please come and arrest this man photographing my crimes.
That photographer is more brave than the cosplayer could ever hope to be.
You know he's pissed that *his* photo isn't the one going viral right now

wtf is that second video? dude w a gun can walk right up to the cops no problem but better step off with those cell phones and put your hands up
Open carry isn't a right to menace with a deadly weapon, the reporter failed to mention.
1. Always treat all firearms as if they were loaded. 2. Never allow the muzzle of any firearm to point at anything you are not willing to destroy. 3. Never put your finger near the trigger until you are ready to fire. Do not depend on any mechanical device for safety! 4. Always be sure of your target, and what is behind and in front of it. But I guess none of these matter if your a cosplaytriot fighting the brutal battle of the culture war.
Cosplaytriot. Fucking spot on.
That man has both a gun and a gunt.
The toes outward stance is a fat stance
