  • Site review: Shoot House Airsoft

    Site review: Shoot House Airsoft

    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…

  • The 16th Airsoft Players’ Choice Awards

    It’s nomination time! The annual awards are back and I’m hoping to get some votes in the Best Airsoft Blog category… If you haven’t seen or heard of them before, the Airsoft Players’ Choice Awards are an opportunity for the global Airsoft community to recognise players, manufacturers, retailers, events, media and communities who really stood…

  • Using Cover and Defence

    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,…

  • Working as a Team

    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…

  • Choosing Gear

    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…

  • 2024 – A Year in Airsoft

    End of year reviews. Because tradition. And I’ve got no beers handy… It’s felt like a quiet year in Airsoft, certainly I think we’re all feeling the squeeze on social media because the world is absolutely terrified of guns and cool things. Thankfully, this isn’t regulated media so I can say whatever the fuck I…

  • Trigger Time

    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…

  • Gucci Airsoft kit

    Gucci Airsoft kit is everywhere these days. The term broadly applies to expensive kit, rather than being designed by some Italian fashion house that gave the world items that look like they were made from old curtains. Appropriate for some players though… How much of a difference does Gucci kit make to your game though,…

  • 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…
