Assault Ghillies
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,…

The 7 S’s of Camouflage
(featured image – Raw War, Carlisle) Can’t remember how many there are to be honest, so I’ll go with the 7 that i can remember/may have made up. These are the things you need to think about in the field. Having a good ghillie suit or camouflage system is only half of the battle. You need…

Getting colours right
How do you go about getting colours to match the environment you play in? One of the most common issues with a lot of suits, although brilliantly made to add depth and texture, is simply getting the colours wrong. A ghillie colour matched perfectly even with no decoration will work better than a well constructed…

Ghillie Guide – Materials to Use
2026 update Ghillie materials have evolved enormously since the first guide as needs, experience and technology has changed not only on the Airsoft field, but in hunting, wildlife photography, and, of course, the modern battlefield itself. It isn’t a case of simply attaching as many things to your suit as possible though. Every element needs…

The Ghillie Guide
The complete ghillie building guide. I’ve been working on a few little camouflage articles lately, but decided that instead of having lots of seperate articles to flick through, I’d just put them all in one place, and have one resource to help you build a suit from scratch, or help develop your current one. Rather…

Are snipers just lazy campers?
Camping, laying around in bushes. Are snipers lazy players? I was following a post in a general airsoft group on Facebook and there’s clearly a very different perception of the sniper role from those who do it, and the wider community. But I don’t think it’s fair to label us snipers as lazy, or campers.…

Event Report – Sniperworks One
A few months back, I got together with a few other players in the north to organise a new kind of sniper weekend event. Hosted by Raw War Airsoft Cumbria over the weekend of 9/10th Feb 2019, Sniperworks One was our test run at doing something a bit different… There are, of course, a few…

The Point6 Loadout Challenge; Part 1 – Budget Loadout
I’ve been set a challenge by Point6 Airsoft, to put together three different loadouts for an airsoft sniper, on very different budgets. It’s a good opportunity to delve into some kit articles and discuss different approaches, so I’ve accepted. Point6 will do videos (link at bottom) , I’ll blog it, and we’ll discuss ideas the…

Do you hide?
Yeah it sounds a stupid thing to ask a sniper. Of course we do, hence the camouflage. We’d be lost without it. The question I got yesterday though was quite an interesting one, so I thought it worth an answer. “How do you build a sniper hide?” I guess for most people, mention of a…
