Airsoft packing list
A few kit lists for your airsoft game days. I’ve done loads fo blogs about what kit I take, and why, and why I’ve chosen certain things over others that I’ve used. What I thought might be helpful would just be a straight up packing list that you guys might be able to print off,…

Fighting Winter – Cold/Wet Weather Clothing
As global warming continues, the UK is adjusting to more volatile weather patterns. Heavier rain (I lost my house a few years back to flooding), high winds and snow, and extreme summer heat make it not just a challenge for airsoft but anyone who enjoys the outdoors in general. I thought I’d do a review…

Review – Helikon Patriot Fleece
There are lots of options for warm layers, from wool jumpers to padded ski jackets, gilets and electric heated things from Chinese wholesalers. The one I rarely now leave the house without though is my Helikon Patriot. Fleece jackets are inexpensive and trap heat very well in all those fibres, and make ideal insulating layers…

Review – French Army CCE Waterproof Jacket
I don’t drive. I’m happy walking where I need to whether it’s work or shopping, so I do spend a lot of time outside and always have done. It’s become important to me to have a good set of clothing whatever the weather, although summer clothing is probably irrelevant and not worth a blog; winter…

Review – Kydex VSR Mag Holder
Fast mag access for your bolt action. I’ve been sent out a VSR Mag Holder from Longbow to have a play with, and I’m now wondering why I’ve not used Kydex before. As a result then, this is from a first time user to the whole Kydex phenomenon as well as a product review. Now,…

GSG Airsoft – AimCam 2i
I did touch on these during the Future Warrior article. Top spec eye pro with a built in camera that we came across at the Northern Shooting Show… Well, GSG got herself a pair, sent it off to Heroshark here in the UK to get the proper camouflage treatment and then took them out for…

Airsoft – Future Warrior
How much can technology impact the airsoft battlefield? As a sniper, it has always been important to observe opponents, their kit and capabilities. For many years I’ve sat there with my bolt action looking at all the other players and their ever evolving kits, and never really put much thought into adding much more to…

Stop Carrying Water! – Sawyer Mini Review
Water is a key part of any airsoft or camping kit. You need to be drinking around 2 litres per day, and if you’re cooking, you’ll need some for that and some for cleaning afterwards. For a weekend away playing airsoft, that’s probably going to be at least 6 litres including a little bit for…

Review – NI Chest Rig
Another tried and trusted bit of kit, not a “review” where something has been tried on in the bedroom and still has labels attached. This is my British Army Northern Ireland (NI) Chest Rig, in beautiful DPM camouflage, and by god it’s seen some use down the years. Still in perfect condition though and still…

Stepping it up – An Urban Airsoft Loadout
A guide to my CQB/Urban loadout for this year’s England vs Scotland game, and what I’ve learned about kit from years of playing one of the toughest weekends in the airsoft calendar. Obviously, this is stipsniper.com, not stipcqb.com, and to be honest the urban side of the game really isn’t my strong point, although I…
