First of all in response to the rather cryptic post we made yesterday - What do these have in common? The Answer is that Today our featured player Mr Eddy Gutierrez is having his BIRTHDAY!!!
Now on to our featured presentation....
The easiest way to explain how I got into airsoft is being tired of playing the video games, i.e. Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. I ended up calling a friend to go and have a card game and he asked if I wanted to see his new airsoft guns. At the time, I was a naive kid, only thinking that airsoft guns were the clear spring-powered or AA powered guns. He showed me his G&G Combat Machine and I was just mystified at how real it felt and looked and how some of the mechanics were very similar! After that, I had to get one, and with that, I walked into a shop called Gamepod to buy my first gun, a SRC G36. After playing at Gamepod's field, I knew I wanted to expand my arsenal, and thus. my very crazy and fun hobby/habit/training tool was born!
Now
many people seem to ask why I'm called Rhino. There are many reasons
about it, but the main reason I was given this call sign is just how
aggressive I play, always on the front lines, not afraid of getting shot
or hurt. Also got it at a after hours dinner with several Gamepod staff
and some of our very favorite airsoft persona's; Jet DesertFox and
Unicorn Leah! My friend who happens to work at Gamepod was the one who
started it, after Soap came up with a failed attempt with "Diablo", and
with Raul, came Rocksteady which transformed to a hilarity of me being
called "Rhino" and it just stuck. I guess being a voluptuous unicorn can
come in handy! ;)

For anyone curious as to the
Rhino's life outside of the airsoft world, I am continuing my education
to become a mechanical engineer with a minor in economics, and a second
degree in philosophy. Some of my favorite weapons, in the airsoft
world, are some that are in my current arsenal, the MK110 M4, which is
built from my WE gas blowback M4. Now many people will bag on me for
using a WE instead of a KWA M4, and the funny part about it, I own both
GBBR's, and several AEG's. On the GBBR side, my teammate, Soap, is the
one who sparked my interest in the WE system, and having him as a help
base for any issues is such a huge benefit.. My favorite AEG's are the
line from Krytac, KWA, and G&G. Krytac has been great out of the box
and I'm very very glad I own it! Now out of the airsoft world and in
the nerdy world, my favorite weapons have to be the hidden blade from
Assassin's Creed franchise, and the scissor blade from the anime Kill La Kill. And with that, some of you can guess that my I am a huge fan of
anime, ranging from One Piece to Kill La Kill, and everything in between
that spectrum.
My biggest scale game has to be
one of my very first big name operations, where the Gucci gear
collections tend to have started; Airsoft G.I.'s Tim vs Bob 5. That was
one of the bigger games I've ever been apart of and figured I knew I
wanted to dwell deeper in the spobby, whether it be "professional"
airsoft player, or staring/joining a team and going to even bigger and
larger scale operations. In terms of play style, I'm very aggressive, a
smash mouth player who gains ground and finds paths to flank the enemy
any chance I get. I'm very objective oriented and love a great synergy
with a team. Living in the Bay Area of California, I have a plethora of
fields I can play at; Gamepod, Fort Ord, ARC Airsoft, Hill 559. I
consider Gamepod to be my home field, being that I grew into the larger
than life player that I am today had it not been for the incredible
staff at Gamepod's field and old store. Craig, you are the man!!
Recently, I went from being just your average airsoft player, to apart
of Developmental Tactics Airsoft Team, or DevTac, for short.
Some
of my future plans include world domination, and creating a real life
Jurassic Park. And for those of you reading this who can understand my
humor would know I am having fun being this goofy. In reality, I plan on
becoming a mechanical engineer and, if I play my cards right, be apart
of the firearms industry, designing and building firearms.
