How to build an Airsoft Gun (part 1)
Building an Airsoft gun from the ground up can be a daunting task. More so when you pick up a “boneyard” project; that is to say, a second-hand gun that is broken and needs some love. If you’ve been following my socials, you’ll have seen that this year at skirmishes I’ve been running my M727…

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?

Finally, after a lucky find at the Midlands Airsoft Fair, it’s complete. So I thought I’d share it and do a little talk…

Event Review – the Midlands Airsoft Fair
Partly an event review, partly the result of some prodding from @airsoft_katastrophe on insta, a blog about an away trip with a difference this weekend, to an airsoft fair. And as far as I’m aware, the only one of its type in the UK. And it’s well worth a visit. Here’s how my day went.…

Airsoft Black Hawk Down(pt 1)
Looking at putting together a Gothic Serpent kit for a Black Hawk Down event later this year. It is, by a mile, my favourite film and in all the years playing I’ve managed to do a BHD-sim only once, with Stirling Airsoft at Catterick. On that occasion, the team and I stretched only to a…
