Stop Carrying Water! – Sawyer Mini Review
Water is a key part of any airsoft or camping kit. You need to be drinking around 2 litres per day, and if you’re cooking, you’ll need some for that and some for cleaning afterwards. For a weekend away playing airsoft, that’s probably going to be at least 6 litres including a little bit for…

Review – NI Chest Rig
Another tried and trusted bit of kit, not a “review” where something has been tried on in the bedroom and still has labels attached. This is my British Army Northern Ireland (NI) Chest Rig, in beautiful DPM camouflage, and by god it’s seen some use down the years. Still in perfect condition though and still…

Take your hits
Yeah, this sounds like a blindingly obvious one but it’s not about that… Airsoft has always been an honour game, it only works if we all call our hits when we get hit. Otherwise, we’d have to play paintball or laser tag. As Airsoft in the last few years has suddenly become competitive (where people…

The Coke Can Mod*
*or beer can A slightly more in depth look at the now infamous Coke Can Mod for your spring sniper rifle. This has already been mentioned in the Silent VSR Guide (which works for many bolt action spring sniper rifles) but after a few questions this last week, I thought I’d expand on it a…

Stepping it Up – England vs Scotland 2021
“Without a doubt the best England performance in the history of this event” “The best Scottish and English Performance over the 14 years Land Warrior and Stirling have run this game” “I have never seen such relentless determination from an England team” Some high praise indeed from the organisers as England vs Scotland returned to…

The Ultimate VSR 10 setup

Rifle Upgrading
This is probably the hottest topic on any airsoft sniper forum; many players see the rifle as the most important part of the kit and without ploughing money into it, they’ll fail as a sniper. Indeed, the (incorrect) advice given by those who think they know best, is that sniping is expensive and should be…

High Speed, Low Frag
The downtime afforded by covid has at least given a lot of time to sit, think, analyse and reflect. I’ve picked up a great many projects surrounding airsoft, both internal and external too, which has kept me extremely busy and perhaps a little off the path of my own kit. Yesterday someone asked me how…

Adding Bipods
Or, not adding them. Why slapping a bipod or tripod on an airsoft sniper rifle is a bad idea. But you really should buy one for your gun anyway because it’s very useful to have one. I haven’t been drinking, no. This blog has been sparked by a picture of a milsim player with a…

Secrets Revealed!
The more I watch the global sniper community on social media, the more I see people willing to show sometimes a little too much. Between ourselves, when it comes to tech or ghillie work, sharing these ideas is a great thing. Ideas can get passed around and developed, analysed, criticised (see Mission : Critical), before…
