    How do you know if you’ve had a successful day as an airsoft sniper? For most airsoft players, they look at whether they managed to capture the flag, save the hostage, locate the bomb, or avoid the zombies. It might be that you managed to fly head-first through a window in front of everyone, got…

  • What is Milsim?

    An interesting question popped up on the UKAL podcast a few days ago, which I was watching because Verage Airsoft was on as a guest. “What is Milsim?” is probably a question that can throw up many answers and interpretations. So, I thought I’d put mine out there. I love Sunday skirmishes. Easy, simple games…

    (In Airsoft, no. If you’re in a combat zone, for god’s sake keep it on, I’m not being responsible for deaths). Ghillies in Airsoft. I know I did an article some months back on ghillies being cosplay or utility, talking about how many people wear them to look the part rather than knowing how to…

    A look at my green team/US Woodland/Rifleman loadout for airsoft. This is a great all-round skirmish loadout for a variety of events and it’s been working well for me. It’s ideal for woodland sites where you want more manoeuvrability than a heavy chest rig or plate carrier setup. Standing in the safety briefing at Dirty…

    Shit hitting the fan? Survival essentials? Or just better camping kit choices? A look at evolving the overnight bag a little to meet new challenges. I do like camping. With all the sniper events on the calendar as well as milsims taking precedence over simple Sunday skirmishes, the camping kit has seen a lot of…

  • Enough kit for Milsim?

    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…

    Disciplines. There are things that annoy me in airsoft. I don’t go complaining to marshals, or shout at other players, or give crappy reviews, or go bleating all over YouTube to whoever might listen in the hope I can stir up some drama for a few cheap likes. No, I come here to write about…

    “Irene. I say again, Irene” Most airsoft players will have seen the film Black Hawk Down. I love it, it’s a superb film and the actual event behind it is awe-inspiring. The loadouts of the US Rangers and Delta Force are iconic. And when an opportunity comes up to play a Gothic Serpent inspired event,…

  • Milsim Meal Time

    Food is important. On a milsim though, kitchen space and time are both limited. MRE’s are an option, but are expensive and not to everyone’s liking. However, a trip to the local supermarket can get the job done for much less, and give you more choice and avoid playing ration pack lottery with the meal…

    A milsim one, not a night away in a hotel. You’re going to need some basic camp kit if you’re away for a weekend, but some of these skirmish campers are starting to bring a hell of a lot of kit for just one night. If you’re living out of a caravan in the safe…
