1.Someone who deliberately puts his or herself at a disadvantage in a video game, typically a FPS, by using the weakest and/or least popular guns, or a gun that is poorly suited for the situation. They believe that if they do so, and still obtain some level of success, that it makes them more skilled than everyone else.
2. In a shooting game, the opposite of a tryhard.
It is my belief that "weapons hipster syndrome" results from a deep insecurity on the part of the hipster. They refuse to level the playing field, as that would truly test their skill, and if they were unable to succeed on said level playing field, they would have no excuse and nothing to fall back on, as they could no longer blame their gun. It may also result in a desire to be different, which can be caused by insecurity as well.
Occasionally, a weapons hipster will go so far as to suggest that a serious competitive player stop using powerful guns, even when facing other serious competitive players that are using powerful guns.

Get the Whaps mug.Related Words
A town in Illinois, known for having the most churches per square mile than any other town in the United States. The people here are Christian for the most part, and religion is a big part of their lives. While many of the people are well-off to completely wealthy, they tend to be nice and helpful people as well, and not pretentious douche bags like they're thought to be. The guys are very gentleman-like, and the girls are also really nice. Wheaton is fairly sheltered, and a good place to raise children. The schools are split into Wheaton North and Wheaton South, which have a strong rivalry against each other, bordering on full-on hate. The sports here are fairly good, and sports are also a big part of everyone's lives.
