An anorak is a type of overcoat or jacket. The joke is dual-natured;
first
the obvious pun on the Stanley Kubrick film Full Metal Jacket. Second,
British wargamers (at least the odder types) are typified as
anorak-wearers. See More Thrust, p. 35, first sentence under The Humor
Element: "Some players take their gaming far too seriously (especially
the
ones in the brown anoraks...)."

That's the basics. The anorak-wearers on the list can doubtless
elucidate
you more. >^_^<
