    Review and installation.  Like most people locked in the house with very little to do, and a gun sat staring at them saying “upgrade me!” (wine, lots of it), I’ve decided to do some work on my VSR. Not that I have many complaints about it, it’s just little improvements. There aren’t many stock things…

  • Is pre-upgraded stuff good for airsoft?

    This was a question from one of the guys in the Sniperworks discord channel. I’ll keep the answer relative to the guns, because I think that’s what the question is about. Guns and upgrades. I’ve got more than enough time to be answering questions at the moment… Compared to where airsoft guns were around 15…

    Hosted by Point6, Sniperworks Live is our new weekly show over on the Sniperworks Facebook group, which we’re hoping to run every weekend for at least the duration of the current Covid19 crisis, and beyond. Featuring myself and Jordan Tedham as co-hosts, the show will be looking at everything from crafting tips to rifle tech,…

    So, we’re still in the lockdown stage of Covid19 and at Sniperworks we’ve started doing live shows on weekends, hosted by Point6 and featuring myself and Jordan Tedham (Sniperworks rifle tech). This weekend, 5/4/20, we announced the start of the Pimp My Rifle project. I thought I’d take the opportunity to go into a bit…

    At time of writing, it’s mid March 2020. The world is gripped by the COVID-19 virus. Cases here in the UK are climbing rapidly. I’ll offer a little insight into my non-sniper life. My day job is retail (sports, specifically), and although we’ve seen trade drop, there are still people ignoring the advice to stay…

    Behind every good sniper, is another one. I know I’ve said that a few times before because my phones predictive text brought it up instantly. In game, having a second pair of eyes and a second rifle obviously doubles your capabilities – more firepower, more awareness, and more brain cells. It’s the voice behind you…

    I am keeping busy – a lot of things in the go at once so nothing is getting finished. My wife asked me if I had been doing “airsoft stuff” today (she’s not exactly supportive), and I said yes. She replied “you shouldn’t have any more airsoft to do!”. Like that’s ever going to happen.…

    It’s been an eventful week this week. I’ll get the big news out of the way first. Novritsch has finally released his new rifle, the SSG10/SSG-10, and it looks like sales are going through the roof. Nice one Novritsc. Finally coming back to the platform he once correctly pointed out was the best, the VSR,…

    First Thinkings of 2020, and I’ll start with my first game day of the year. Full of excitement from the busy Christmas period, where I couldn’t get out and do anything, I was looking forward to a half day at the local woodland site, NTAC in County Durham, just to get out and play. Shorly…

    It’s Christmas eve as I write this, although unfortunately I’ve nothing airsoft related under the tree. Instead, most of the guys at sniperworks are looking forward to the new year and new projects. It’s a good time for reflecting on the year we’ve had, with a few sites closed over the festive period, and there’s…
