Site review: Shoot House Airsoft
I travelled to Székesfehérvár in Hungary to check out Airsoft in their country… It’s not normally a country that crops up a lot on my social media, but I know they do some good Milsim events and I do get a lot of blog visits from Hungary each month, so I decided to go and…

What’s wrong with an AEG?
Why do we prefer a GBBR or an HPA rifle these days? Or even a pistol? The humble electric or AEG gets a lot of stick but I still think it’s by far the best platform. In response to a conversation at Chemical Airsoft in Manchester last week, let’s talk guns… Ahh, electric powered adult…

Scotland vs England 2024

Green Team Loadout
A look at my green team/US Woodland/Rifleman loadout for airsoft. This is a great all-round skirmish loadout for a variety of events and it’s been working well for me.

Airsoft – Command and Conquer
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…

Head to Head
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…

Site Review – Dirty Dog Airsoft
Dirty Dog Airsoft, Shildon, North East UK. My home site since it first opened its doors, and I played there for many years beforehand as well so I’ve seen the evolution. I thought it was about time I showcased it, why I love it, and why it’s worth a visit. The site has seen a…
