Do you hide?
Yeah it sounds a stupid thing to ask a sniper. Of course we do, hence the camouflage. We’d be lost without it. The question I got yesterday though was quite an interesting one, so I thought it worth an answer. “How do you build a sniper hide?” I guess for most people, mention of a…

Putting the Sniper Rifle Down…
Nah don’t worry, I’m not retiring. I’ve got an event coming up in December and I thought it might interest some people to go through the kit even if it doesn’t feature a bolt action rifle. Because all airsofters love kit discussion. The Event Stirling Airsoft’s England vs Scotland 2018 at Catterick. I’ve been very…

The Silencer
As I’ve covered in the silent vsr guide, one of the most important elements is the silencer. As well as making your rifle look cooler (sniper rifles don’t get accessorised much), and giving you that extra length, it catches the noise your rifle makes, and dampens it through whatever materials are inside. Even with all…

Winter is coming…
Well, it’s a bit early for discussing winter but the seasons are changing and having taken time off during the summer for holidays and family time (taking them camping in the wild, obviously), I’ve been having a think ahead to the onset of autumn and changes to my camouflage. Summer in the UK is brief,…

BOOM! HEADSHOT…?
There’s quite a debate raging about the ethics of sniper headshots at the moment so I thought I’d share up my own thoughts on the subject. Obligatory photo of glorious DPM camouflage and my personal VSR rifle. I’d like to cover this from both sides; firstly the shooter (specifically the sniper because for some reason…

Balls so heavy…
Just a few thoughts on ammo this morning. There was unfortunately a time when decent sniper ammo was rare. That which was available, was dark colours like black or dark brown Nobody seemed to be able to make a white one that you could see, and the King was Madbull, who made glorious tan…

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”…

“CQB Sniper”?
Is it a good idea? I see this phrase on social media a lot and I don’t understand it. Why would a sane player run a sniper setup in an close quarters environment? CQB tends to be a quicker paced, shorter game fought often at ranges inside a snipers Minimum Engagement Distance (MED). Not sure…
