Walter Mitty in other words.

It means someone who fantasises about being important. In airsoft a Walt is someone who takes things a bit too seriously and acts like its real life.

At the end of the day if its a brightly painted gun that could never be called a rif. Only the most pretentious jobs worth pratt would ever have an issue with it.

It would be fine.

 
...this all started from me asking if i could make a rainbow rifle i cause to much chaos

 
I have always liked De Walt power tools, mainly because of their yellow and black colour as well as quality. Sometimes think I should put together a DIY load out with a yellow and black gun, and in an urban environment would not look too out of place. MP5K power tool ;)

I think from Scarathe it was more about making sure you knew how to get the optimum amount of rainbow without breaking the law as written, but as TriggerHappy said, the law is so utterly unenforceable and poorly written when it comes to colouring IFs in the way you describe then it's not going to matter as no one will ever mistake it for anything but a toy.

Go to town, and please make sure there's glitter.

I know its late and its probably done already. But no legislation or regulation says it has to be 51% bright colours, that's just a common interpretation. As long as the IF looks unrealistic both in a gun case and when you're using it, then it's an IF rather than an RIF.

It relies a little on common sense and judgement, so its best to be on the safe side and paint a little more than you think, but then again, no police force will be hunting you down because you missed a spot when you sprayed your toy gun

Edit: didn't see the second page had descended into chaos :P

I'm contemplating a rainbow neon gun powered by a second Lipo, since I like to sneak around in dark buildings, glitter and colours just won't be enough to dazzle my enemies. A few little neon lights up and down the rails TRON style should do the trick

By using neon lights you could even colour code your gun to the team colour of the day, and that would stop all those friendly fire incidents in the dark ;)

Although, I do remember playing laser quest years ago and all the guns were lit up, so you could see players in the dark and smoke, and when you were hit and out of the game the gun lights were extinguished.

 
Boy are we off-topic now.

Actually, a 'Walt' is simply someone who pretends to be something they're not. It's not got nothing to do with taking things too seriously, though in airsoft those can be mutually inclusive.

And yes, it comes from the novel The Secret Life of Walter Mitty by James Thurber, which was made into a film in 2013 - the premise is it's a guy who has a really mundane life but has 'heroic daydreams' wherein he does exciting things. It's the British equivalent of 'stolen valour' (a US term for someone who wears uniform and/or pretends to have been in the military when not) a lot of the time and it can be a label given to people who are/were in the service and say they did something or were a part of something they didn't/weren't.

More commonly it's given to people who aren't pretend they are or have been in any branch of the armed forces but never have been. This ties in well with the novel where one of the dreams actually involves him pretending to be a RAF pilot.

Although factually correct I think its general meaning has become a bit more encompassing, in day to day life and in airsoft.
