    I travelled to Székesfehérvár in Hungary to check out Airsoft in their country… It’s not normally a country that crops up a lot on my social media, but I know they do some good Milsim events and I do get a lot of blog visits from Hungary each month, so I decided to go and…

    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…

    Getting it right where so many players get it wrong. It’s been a while since I’ve done a guide of related articles and I figured I’ve covered sniping enough for now. It’s time to look at the rest of the field. After seeing a flood of new players at skirmish, I thought it might be…

    Attack all you like, but if you can’t defend yourself then you’re not going to be attacking effectively as you spend half the day walking back to the respawn. So how do you go about minimising the threat to yourself? Well, there’s concealment and cover, and defensive tactics. Concealment is your camouflage. Welcome to stipsniper.com,…

    Airsoft is a game, and ultimately to win the game (or if it’s boring, to end the game), a team will have to complete the game objective. In either case, you want to be completing the objective as quickly as possible, before the enemy team does. Otherwise you lose and everyone will call you a…

    As much as we’d like to believe some of the absolute “weapons” on social media that think they can win games on their own, Airsoft is a team game. It might be the classic two-team game or perhaps you’re fighting in lots of small teams of 4, but you have to work together to achieve…

    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…

  • Is Airsoft Dying?

    I’ve seen a lot of events cancelled this year. More than I can recall in all the years I’ve been slinging plastic. Where are all the players? Has Airsoft just run out of steam? Or is it a case of rising costs putting people off? I was discussing with some players at a skirmish recently…

    Why are so many people struggling to keep up with Airsoft? Are we seeing a big change in the way it’s being organised and played? Summer is here in the UK which brings that special breed out of the closet – the Fairsofter, or Fair Weather Airsofter. And as is typical of summer in this…

    What are you actually doing in a game? I mean, there are times when I look at people and think “What the actual fuck are you doing?”, but I mean in general. It’s June 2024, and at the moment I’m watching England absolutely flop in the group stages of Euro 2024, although the nation remains…
