The Media Ban
A few people have asked, so it’s time to come clean. Unfortunately my Facebook and Instagram accounts are currently disabled; it would seem the American owners of these platforms have an aversion to the endless gun culture related posts and stories so if you’re wondering where all the good stuff went from your feed, that’s…

Integration or segregation?
The other week I was having a chat with UKAL founder Alex about an event they’re having in June 2025. As is common with UKAL events, they like pitching girls against boys. The group is designed to give women a space away from the guys at Airsoft, which is fair enough because most UK teams…

2023 Annual Review
It’s review time. The annual roundup of things in the world of stipsniper and Airsoft as a whole, while I sit and have a couple of weeks off to relax with some mulled wine and plan ahead for next year. It’s been seven years since I started writing this blog, and I still write it…

Killing Spree
It’s not how many kills you get, it’s how you get your kills I’ve been sat chilling today, chatting to various players and flicking through Instagram reels while I wait for replies on various platforms. And there’s a lot more short reels involving snipers on there than there used to be. Looking at some uploaded…
