  • Airsoft Opfor Loadouts

    In most games, there is always a need for an opposing team. Somebody has to play the bad guy in order for there to be good guys. But it’s not really as clear cut as that, depending on the event you’re attending or the scenario you’re trying to play; OPposing FORce can be many things.…

  • Is the bolt action a dead platform?

    Airsoft is evolving, and so too are airsoft players. Looking around on social media, the humble spring sniper rifle seems to be disappearing from many snipers’ loadouts. But why?

  • Stepping it Up – England vs Scotland 2021

    “Without a doubt the best England performance in the history of this event” “The best Scottish and English Performance over the 14 years Land Warrior and Stirling have run this game” “I have never seen such relentless determination from an England team” Some high praise indeed from the organisers as England vs Scotland returned to…

  • Returning to Airsoft

    First day back after the UK lockdown, plus a look at my CQB kit After having to miss most of a year’s worth of airsoft due to Covid19, lockdown restrictions are easing and I got the chance to go to the opening day at Dirty Dog Airsoft with teammate Aiden Elliott to stretch legs, try…
