We all know those people. They think that arcane jargon and meaningless detail is what makes them an expert. Mix this with a healthy dose of self delusion and you get Gecko45.
Warning, if you are particularly allergic to bullshit, don’t click on that link. If you head is sore from frequent face palms don’t click on that either. It is painful enough to make you weep. Personally, I had a hard time getting past buying a IIA vest and then duck taping plates to it.

The whole Mall Ninja thing with Gecko45 was someone playing a satirical role. In other words, a hoax. As it turns out, the hoax ended up defending an entire class of shooters by being that guy to a ridiculous extreme. There are certainly real Gecko45s out there, but none are as funny.

Deep down, I knew that might be true (at least for specops).
As you pointed out, though, there are really people out there like that and it makes this a particularly scary piece of fiction.

I sure hope its fake. I couldn’t stop reading that train wreck. “I patrol the bathrooms with my M134 tucked under my coat in order to save your anal virginity.”
