Are snipers just lazy campers?
Camping, laying around in bushes. Are snipers lazy players? I was following a post in a general airsoft group on Facebook and there’s clearly a very different perception of the sniper role from those who do it, and the wider community.

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…
