Ghillies vs IRR, Reflectance and Materials
A Stalker Leaf Suit, KMCS 4.0 and an old DPM Jacket walk into a bar. There’s a power cut. The bartender gets the NVG’s out. I don’t think I can finish that joke off but hopefully the picture can; in this article I wanted to go over a couple of things that are all too…

Recoil and realism – GBB vs AEG
“I, I don’t like AEG’s, I don’t like the sound of them. I think they sound like sewing machines” said Kicking Mustang on a recent Defrowe podcast, making the age-old airsoft comparison with sewing equipment. I caught the advert for it while scrolling. Every airsoft player at some point will get their hands on a…

Copying Haloscreen
A few days ago I had a message on an article by someone called Haloscreen is not what it seems, which is a very unusual name in any language but obviously not their real name (when posting up they did actually leave all their email and PC details on the reply but I’ll not cap…

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…

Camping, laying around in bushes. Are snipers lazy players?

Principles of Camouflage
On days off I spend hours on end looking through pictures of ghillie suits, leaf suits, camouflaged rifles and webbing setups. There are now thousands of airsoft snipers posting pics on social media. A lot of them now are taken indoors and in poor light so it is sometimes hard to judge their effectiveness in…

Bulking Up
Ghillie bulking. Not gym bulking… Just a quick article today while I’ve been starting a new suit using some new materials and ideas, and thought I’d share what I’m doing in the hope it helps someone else with their build Ignoring the lenskin, which I’ll be playing with later, here’s my Viper cape in Multicam…

Winter is coming…
Well, it’s a bit early for discussing winter but the seasons are changing and having taken time off during the summer for holidays and family time (taking them camping in the wild, obviously), I’ve been having a think ahead to the onset of autumn and changes to my camouflage. Summer in the UK is brief,…

Balls so heavy…
Just a few thoughts on ammo this morning. There was unfortunately a time when decent sniper ammo was rare. That which was available, was dark colours like black or dark brown Nobody seemed to be able to make a white one that you could see, and the King was Madbull, who made glorious tan…
