    An interesting question popped up on the UKAL podcast a few days ago, which I was watching because Verage Airsoft was on as a guest. “What is Milsim?” is probably a question that can throw up many answers and interpretations. So, I thought I’d put mine out there. I love Sunday skirmishes. Easy, simple games…

    Everyone remembers the gun. Very few remember to bring the radio. Airsoft teams are everywhere, and yet very rarely do any get organised enough to take advantage of having a team structure. “Yeah, but we play together so I know what they’re going to do and they know my game” is usually as good an…

    There’s a huge choice of Airsoft guns out there. Some good, some bad, some ugly. How do you know which one is the best, and which one is going to bring you the most success in a game? There’s a whole heap of options out there, but is it possible to put all the best…

  • Milsim Meal Time

    Food is important. On a milsim though, kitchen space and time are both limited. MRE’s are an option, but are expensive and not to everyone’s liking. However, a trip to the local supermarket can get the job done for much less, and give you more choice and avoid playing ration pack lottery with the meal…

    A milsim one, not a night away in a hotel. You’re going to need some basic camp kit if you’re away for a weekend, but some of these skirmish campers are starting to bring a hell of a lot of kit for just one night. If you’re living out of a caravan in the safe…

    I’ve been without a team for a while now. Sniper events and other sniper-related projects keep me very busy. But I do miss the experience of running with a team, doing some of the short range stuff and the social aspect of not being alone in the field for two days. So, I’ve decided to…

    A few thoughts on building a kit suitable for battlesims, milsims and weekend events, from a skirmish setup. This isn’t a sniper blog, it’ll be for those running as part of a team with an aeg. Which is always fun from time to time. Following on from the England vs Scotland game (report and intro…

    The most commonly asked question on airsoft sniper forums? Brings about a multitude of answers, from guns that may well be the best (although it’s probably the upgrades), to a player’s favourite looking gun, to simply some guy’s gun which he mistakenly believes is a world beater. I don’t have the definitive answer. I don’t…
