    After a long day at work, and suffering from an alcohol-free January, I pinged a message to team engineer Dan, who earlier in the week had suggested a game of online chess. My go-to game at the moment is Escape from Tarkov, but SkinnyBitch has fucked off to Denmark this week and there’s nobody online…

    An idea that has been going round for years and years, I’ve seen tree bark camo done many ways by many people. The idea is to disguise the gun as a stick or branch, adding a texture that hides the smooth barrel that gives away a sniper rifle. In this article, I’ll go over a…

    Most airsoft snipers probably go to games with an idea in their head for how they’re going to play, the perfect shots they’re going to get, and having that ghillie working in ideal conditions so that nobody sees them. And they’ll probably film it to show everyone afterwards how great they are. However, games rarely…

    So, I’ve got quite a lot of blogs now about lots of different materials and bits and pieces. What I thought I’d do was put together a list rather than a blog of all the most useful ghillie materials I’ve seen and used, to make a shopping list for people to more easily navigate. I…

    Rifles, hats, backpacks, pouches, scopes, gloves, holsters, eye protection, radio equipment. Everything we carry needs disguised so that it is not easily spotted in the field which keeps us going that little bit longer. In the real steel world, a tank crew at a few thousand metres might get away with not having a radio…

    I have nightmares. Lots. Many reasons. Usually cheese. In airsoft though, one of the worst situations any player can find themselves in is trying to assault a position uphill. Worse if it’s fortified. It tends to be a game of attrition, the defending team usually with limited lives, the attackers simply throwing themselves at the…

    OK, so I haven’t published a paper on this theory or anything, so it’s not official. But it might help you in picking out some good positions to shoot from. So, at some point as you travel around the site, you’ll end up finding a position to set up in to shoot from. Knowing where…

  • Training and Culture

    “Do you think you could train someone to be a good sniper in a day?” A question from around a campfire a few months back. I dismissed it as “no chance” during the conversation, but it’s been on my mind since. Assuming you’ve got a new player who has never even used a bolt action…

  • Giving Head

    Ok, giving the head proper camouflage would be a more appropriate title. Just a few thoughts on not giving it too much, and the reasons why. The head is an important piece to camouflage. For many years, it has become accepted that the “omega” shape of the head and shoulders needs broken up because it’s…
