Well lets see, there is

-Mall Ninja

-Keyboard Warrior

-Chairborne Ranger

-Cyber stormtrooper

-Mouse-kateer (as in computer mouse, not the disney mouse)

-Batcaver

-Keyboard commando

-Soldier of Fortune subscriber

-Pop-gun guru

-Cereal Killer (capt'n crunch, yum yum)

-Coke can killer (a person who shoots cans with a BB gun and assumes he's a master sniper)

- Member of the Playstation Platoon (for all those folks who thinks playing Modern Warfare suddenly makes a person into a ballistics/ camoflage/ weapons/ tactical master)

Umm....I think that's all I got. After that it gets prettymuch into the generic terms like "idiot", "jaggoff", "tool", etc.

I like these two.

I've also heard "e-hero" and "internet warrior." For those that get all of their gun knowledge from Call of Duty games, I like to call them "CoD [say it see-oh-dee] Warriors."

For people who make outrageous claims online?

Check out this Craigslist post, which includes, among ramblings, these gems:

MKEgal, do you have any proof he's just blowing smoke? I've made some claims here folks consider fairly outrageous, and several people here have called me on it. I won't offer it up online, but I have a DD214, twenty years of OPRs, various awards and decs, pics, and pre-military documentation to back up my claims.

Fortunately, I don't have to offer it up to the masses, nor would I want to. Those of you who helped me move this summer know the truth, as you've seen much of it. If you doubt what you've seen, you know where I live, come knock on my door, and I'll be happy to share with you the paperwork.

My point remains, sometimes, some folks are armchair warriors. Sometimes they're simply folks who're good at what they do, but who are trying to enter the market. Sometimes they're folks who've been there, done that, and would like to return some of what they know to their community.

I'm in the latter. I've learned a lot, but so have you, so I do my best to keep my ears open. Perhaps together we'll find a better way.

Texan is my primary language. However, my family likes to throw in words and phrases from other languages quite a bit.
