  • Do I Need A Ghillie?

    (In Airsoft, no. If you’re in a combat zone, for god’s sake keep it on, I’m not being responsible for deaths). Ghillies in Airsoft. I know I did an article some months back on ghillies being cosplay or utility, talking about how many people wear them to look the part rather than knowing how to…

  • 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. It’s ideal for woodland sites where you want more manoeuvrability than a heavy chest rig or plate carrier setup. Standing in the safety briefing at Dirty…

    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…

    Getting started in Airsoft might seem a daunting task, but here’s a guide to explain what you need to know. Facebook is an absolute minefield of information both good and bad, and due to the vast media content out there, it’s generally a bit distorted and edited. And there’s a lot of information scattered everywhere…

  • Get Low – the 1j Rifle

    It’s an idea I’ve been toying with for a while, but after a recent sniper training event the argument for a 1j sniper rifle has grown massively. I know most new players look at the power limits and think “I need to get as close to the maximum as possible”. I even know some famous…

    There’s a huge choice of Airsoft guns out there. Some good, some bad, some ugly. How do you know which one is the best, and which one is going to bring you the most success in a game? There’s a whole heap of options out there, but is it possible to put all the best…

  • The End Of Sniper Camouflage

    For many, many years/beers now, I’ve sat and watched camouflage evolve, particularly in airsoft. From bdu’s, to hunting clothing, to stringy suits, to leaf suits, back to bdu’s and onto Haloscreen. I’ve seen Amazon suits, ribbons, plastic leaves, twine, polystyrene and even people glueing half an aquatic plant centre on their ghillie. It’s certainly come…

  • Enough kit for Milsim?

    How much is too much? And can you cut corners? Milsim is a very different approach to skirmish or speedsoft, with a different set of requirements. I mentioned in the recent Op Irene review that I wanted to do an article looking at the loadout side of a milsim, and after a few debriefs with…

    Disciplines. There are things that annoy me in airsoft. I don’t go complaining to marshals, or shout at other players, or give crappy reviews, or go bleating all over YouTube to whoever might listen in the hope I can stir up some drama for a few cheap likes. No, I come here to write about…

    “Irene. I say again, Irene” Most airsoft players will have seen the film Black Hawk Down. I love it, it’s a superb film and the actual event behind it is awe-inspiring. The loadouts of the US Rangers and Delta Force are iconic. And when an opportunity comes up to play a Gothic Serpent inspired event,…
