    Back in the early days, when VM-68's were new. I picked up a F-1 illistrator. I ported the valve, opened up the bolt face, and a very light trigger job. I had a rather decent rate of fire. I had to explain what a "cyclic" rate was, and it stuck. Then I went a bought a full auto 9mm and it was set in stone- I was Cyclic.

    I remember when the first semi-auto's came out and I was just lusting on them during lunch break. Things progressed pretty fast at that point, and before long I was running a mag, playing the local teams, and the field "airsmith" (if you can remember when that term was "hip"). Been out for a long time, and had to dig the old mag out. It was the only gun I never got rid of. Seriously thinking of pneumag conversion, just waiting on some extra time and money not dictated for the family.

        Started out as my username on an Infiniti G35 car forum.

        I own a twilight blue G35.

        In retrospect, I'd prefer a different name but meh... whatever

          My teammates gave it to me (Werewolves of NJ/PA, one of PB2X's 'Top 50 Teams of All Time').

          I'm not a big guy (5'5", 120 pounds) but I am aggressive and my teammates decided that what I most reminded them of was a small, rabid dog.

          I then chose to name a publishing company after the nickname and produced my well-received Maxing book about tournament tactics.

          The name was initially spelled correctly (chihuahua) but I got so many people writing and posting that it was spelled incorrectly, that I adopted the incorrect spelling (chihauhau) so that I wouldn't have to explain all the time.

          Now I get people telling me its spelled incorrectly...

            I probably would have done the same thing, but I started shooting after I made my aliases on forums.

                  When I joined this board I had a life-sucking job that had me working every weekend for a couple of years straight. Very little paintball or anything else back then. Things have gotten better but the name stuck.

                          Tebo is my last name. I was going to try to use that xbox live but it was taken. So I used unfairtebo.

                                Depending on the accent you write my last name with, it translates to either "Mu" or "Ken" in japanese. And I go by a philosophy of not placing too much ego into competitive things, so I thought the name fit rather well.
