Airsoft Specialist
Are you special? Do you want to be? Should you be? This week, a friend sent me a Reddit post about load bearing in Airsoft. It was an interesting read, lots of different opinions. Then I saw a comment about a plate carrier. They’re just not an option for me in any situation. His response…

Scotland vs England 2024
Since 2013, I’ve been part of Stirling Airsoft’s end-of-year international event, helping England go from being perennial losers to an unstoppable winning machine. After the 2021 edition, I decided it was time to move on to other projects and events. Then, last week, a call came in… Deep down, I love it. It’s competitive without…

Airsoft Game Changers
There are a lot of game-changing guns and parts hitting the market at the moment. From new MOSFETs, to hop units, new ghillie suits and low-cost thermal optics. Smaller rigs, lighter rigs. If you want the edge in Airsoft, perhaps you have a tournament coming up or you want your Instagram profile to absolutely blow…

Sniper K/D ratios
How do you know if you’ve had a successful day as an airsoft sniper? For most airsoft players, they look at whether they managed to capture the flag, save the hostage, locate the bomb, or avoid the zombies. It might be that you managed to fly head-first through a window in front of everyone, got…

How realistic is Airsoft?
Short answer – as real as you want it to be. Or, for many of the younger players coming through, not at all. It’s just a chance to cosplay and have some fun. This is a topic I can expand on into different aspects of the game and I will do some more in the…

Gucci Airsoft kit
Gucci Airsoft kit is everywhere these days. The term broadly applies to expensive kit, rather than being designed by some Italian fashion house that gave the world items that look like they were made from old curtains. Appropriate for some players though… How much of a difference does Gucci kit make to your game though,…

What is Milsim?
An interesting question popped up on the UKAL podcast a few days ago, which I was watching because Verage Airsoft was on as a guest. “What is Milsim?” is probably a question that can throw up many answers and interpretations. So, I thought I’d put mine out there. I love Sunday skirmishes. Easy, simple games…
