    The beginner’s guide to choosing kit. Where do you start and what do you buy? Thankfully, not as much as you might think. It looks daunting at times, seeing players online dripping in thousands of pounds/dollars/local currency of gear running around their local site, but it’s largely just cosplay. Certainly when you start Airsoft, you…

    Now the first thing I grab any time I’m heading outdoors, the A192 is an exceptionally good piece of kit. I’ll do a quick look at the product first, and then explain where it fits into my kit and why. For a few years now, I’ve had one of these at the top of my…

    Want to quickly make a very lightweight camping stove for your outdoors adventures? Sick of loading up pages that have fifty popups and crap ads every two sentences? You’re in the right place… Alcohol and stoves are two of my favourite things. As well as knives, so you can add that into the mix and…

    Out with the old, in with the new? I’m an absolute gear whore. My house is absolutely loaded with kit and there are always trips and opportunities to go visit surplus stores and collect more. If you follow my socials, or indeed the blog, you’ll know I have a preference for the 1980’s/90’s/Early 2000’s British…

    It’s currently three years since Russia decided to invade Ukraine and it’s a far cry from the global war on terror. In many ways a more old school, traditional land war between two similarly equipped adversaries, it has also showed us glimpses of future conflicts. Social media is filled with drone camera footage of attacks…

    A look at the DPM Ops Vest – the latest addition to my load bearing cupboard. Cheap, basic, often overlooked. It’s one that most players will see on eBay and bypass because it’s not the latest, but it’s definitely one of the greatest. So I picked one up on eBay for £15 to do a…

  • Do start as an Airsoft sniper

    Being a sniper is boring. It’s difficult. It’s so expensive to get into. It’s not like YouTube. You won’t get many kills. You’d be better off starting with an M4. The Internet is full of shit these days, unfortunately, and any player asking on social media for tips to get started as an Airsoft sniper…

    Good gear makes a good player. Good gear is not expensive gear. Good gear is the right gear. We are blessed in Airsoft to have vast amounts of kit available from nearly every military on the planet, plus a lot of Airsoft companies producing cheaper versions, plus their own designs, and you can even play…

  • Why are leaf suits so bad?

    Fanboy/girl hats off everyone. It’s critical thinking time. Ten years ago, leaf suit based camouflage systems were everywhere and continue to sell well. Although popular, are they actually any good? Back in 2017 (I think, just as I started blogging), I remember being part of the Mustang inner circle when leaf suits started to take…

    Stirling’s annual England vs Scotland match is quite unlike anything else on the calendar. As far as I’m aware, it’s the only Airsoft International matchup anywhere in the world. The highest level of the game, it’s competitive, serious and extremely challenging, with 75 players selected for each team going at it relentlessly over two days…
