    Great balls of fire! I made it onto the shortlist! Thank you to everyone who nominated stipsniper.com for the Best Blog category. It’s a huge honour to even make that shortlist considering the competition, and I’m very humbled. But, I’m also a competitive bastard, and as much as the nomination is more than enough reward…

    The silent assassin. The unseen. The lone wolf. “Pro Sniper”. Ghost. Overpowered. Using the power of the k…yeah I’ll stop right there… There’s a lot of shit out there on social media about the airsoft sniper role. You’d be forgiven for thinking that an airsoft sniper is some kind of super weapon to unleash onto…

    It’s an idea I’ve been toying with for a while, but after a recent sniper training event the argument for a 1j sniper rifle has grown massively. I know most new players look at the power limits and think “I need to get as close to the maximum as possible”. I even know some famous…

    A Stalker Leaf Suit, KMCS 4.0 and an old DPM Jacket walk into a bar. There’s a power cut. The bartender gets the NVG’s out. I don’t think I can finish that joke off but hopefully the picture can; in this article I wanted to go over a couple of things that are all too…

    You’ll notice on the logo now, as well as being on Airsofter World, there are now some discount codes… “Aaaahhhhh he sold out” No, I haven’t, don’t worry. There’s no commission or paid reviews or anything like that, I just think it’s important to support as well as be supported. Nothing to be gained or…

    Partly an event review, partly the result of some prodding from @airsoft_katastrophe on insta, a blog about an away trip with a difference this weekend, to an airsoft fair. And as far as I’m aware, the only one of its type in the UK. And it’s well worth a visit. Here’s how my day went.…

    Quite a milestone. I was going to do a couple of other articles this week until I realised, so I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on the journey so far. The idea of the blog came about thanks to Phil from Sniper Ops, who suggested writing things down and showed me his WordPress…

    New camouflage is always interesting, and certainly should be to the sniper looking for better concealment or for new suits in new environments or seasons. While some airsoft companies are mass producing stuff in sheets of fabric from AliExpress, or recolouring old Vietnam patterns, there are thankfully some camouflage companies that are capable of new…

    It’s not how many kills you get, it’s how you get your kills I’ve been sat chilling today, chatting to various players and flicking through Instagram reels while I wait for replies on various platforms. And there’s a lot more short reels involving snipers on there than there used to be. Looking at some uploaded…

    Spring is here in the UK and with its arrival came a covering of the white stuff. As much as some people enjoy being covered in white stuff, it does mean some quick and temporary changes are required to our camouflage. The day before skirmish, I sat with a large glass of hot mulled wine…
