    Getting started in Airsoft might seem a daunting task, but here’s a guide to explain what you need to know. Facebook is an absolute minefield of information both good and bad, and due to the vast media content out there, it’s generally a bit distorted and edited.

    Something a little different today. The Serbian chef knife, or Almazan knife, from Raven Forge. I’m not suddenly starting a cooking channel (although I might consider it at some point), but this ties in nicely with outdoor cooking vibes, especially if you’ve seen it on YouTube courtesy of Almazan Kitchen. Will it be part of…

    Want to be an Airsoft influencer? Be famous? Share your exploits with the world? These days there are so many Airsoft “celebrities” out there it’s hard to stand out from the crowd.

    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…

    How much is too much? And can you cut corners? Milsim is a very different approach to skirmish or speedsoft, with a different set of requirements. I mentioned in the recent Op Irene review that I wanted to do an article looking at the loadout side of a milsim, and after a few debriefs with…
