  • Positive and Negative space in Camouflage

    An important concept for anyone who has an interest in camouflage, it is often overlooked but can make all the difference to your suit (or whatever you want to camouflage). Explaining it though, when you ask any Airsoft sniper, is a little tricky. If I asked a hundred Airsoft snipers, I’d get a hundred different…

    And why they belong in the bin. Plus a few concepts around the idea of ghillies and mobility for all Airsoft players. Assault ghillies in the Airsoft arena tend to be used by non-snipers as a means of extra concealment, and in itself that isn’t a bad idea. If you’re a support gunner for example,…

    (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…

    Everyone remembers the gun. Very few remember to bring the radio. Airsoft teams are everywhere, and yet very rarely do any get organised enough to take advantage of having a team structure. “Yeah, but we play together so I know what they’re going to do and they know my game” is usually as good an…

    It’s review time. The annual roundup of things in the world of stipsniper and Airsoft as a whole, while I sit and have a couple of weeks off to relax with some mulled wine and plan ahead for next year. It’s been seven years since I started writing this blog, and I still write it…

    Recently I wrote an article on the possibility of AI writing blogs in the future. It’s a horrible thought that Airsoft media could become totally artificial, because it’s the people that make Airsoft great. A couple of nights ago a good friend decided to ask ChatGPT : “Please write me a quick blog post for…
