REVIEW – UK SNIPER SYSTEMS MOSS SUIT
Before the revolution of leaf suits, way back when I first started sniping, I invested in this suit as a base to attach tons of jute thread onto and moved around looking like a big pile of coloured string. It was featured last summer in my ghillie build guide as a base for a “hybrid”…

REVIEW – ASG MK23
I was recently asked about sniper sidearms and what to look for. Ultimately, for most sites in the UK, you need to have one if you have a rifle over 350fps (which will be most of us), because anything over that power will have a minimum engagement distance, typically 15-25m, and the sidearm is required…

Review – VSR-10 Magpull
Sometimes the smallest bits of kit are the most valuable. I’ve got the slick, low profile load bearing carrying the kit I need to keep me going in the field. My camo keeps me hidden away. I’ve got a good rifle propped up on a bipod, crystal clear scope observing targets unaware they’re being watched.…

Developing the Rig
Definitely a great find, but the £6 rig on its own isn’t much use. I needed it set up properly to hold my kit exactly where I wanted it, and then camouflaged so that it doesn’t give me away. This is my starting point, the vest over the top of my Miltec Leaf Suit. You…

Budget Load Bearing
The one piece of kit nobody in the safe zone asks about…but really should. This is my £6 solution to carrying sniper kit in the field. Down the years I’ve tried all forms of load bearing in airsoft. I’ve always believed it to be the bit that makes or breaks a loadout, especially for the…

Review – Dutch Army Backpack
For a while now, I’ve been looking for the perfect backpack to complement my sniper loadout. This may very well be it… I’ve got the camo suit, got the dirt cheap but highly effective webbing which I’ll review soon, and that’s pretty much it as far as a skirmish loadout goes. But for longer events,…

England vs Scotland 2017 – An urban loadout
I don’t normally cqb, but this is usually the biggest event on my calendar – Stirling Airsoft’s weekender at a FIBUA village in Catterick. With England on a 5 year losing streak, we desperately need a win. I’ll be joining the Norvern Monkeys squad as a sniper (obviously), but decided to take an m4 as…

How to get started in airsoft
A teammate helping out a new player. Sorry Stephen, it just fitted the article. I was approached this week by someone asking for advice on what to buy to get started in airsoft. This isn’t a sniper related post; I just thought I’d jot it down. After speaking to another player on their first day,…

Review – Cyma Cm701
So I’ve picked up a new rifle and as is standard practice with all new guns, it was in bits within 5 minutes of being delivered. Mainly because I like tinkering with guns and seeing how they work, but also on this occasion because a couple of people wanted to know what it was like.…

Meaner in Green
(A few considerations on kit choice) Greens vs Tans. Probably the easiest way to split teams at big events. I think also it’s a divide between mentalities which is more apparent now than when I first started airsoft in 2012. In a short space of time (I’m no veteran player) there’s been a huge…
