    Being a sniper is boring. It’s difficult. It’s so expensive to get into. It’s not like YouTube. You won’t get many kills. You’d be better off starting with an M4. The Internet is full of shit these days, unfortunately, and any player asking on social media for tips to get started as an Airsoft sniper…

    Since 2013, I’ve been part of Stirling Airsoft’s end-of-year international event, helping England go from being perennial losers to an unstoppable winning machine. After the 2021 edition, I decided it was time to move on to other projects and events. Then, last week, a call came in… Deep down, I love it. It’s competitive without…

    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…

    The silent assassin. The unseen. The lone wolf. “Pro Sniper”. Ghost. Overpowered. Using the power of the k…yeah I’ll stop right there… There’s a lot of shit out there on social media about the airsoft sniper role. You’d be forgiven for thinking that an airsoft sniper is some kind of super weapon to unleash onto…

    For many, many years/beers now, I’ve sat and watched camouflage evolve, particularly in airsoft. From bdu’s, to hunting clothing, to stringy suits, to leaf suits, back to bdu’s and onto Haloscreen. I’ve seen Amazon suits, ribbons, plastic leaves, twine, polystyrene and even people glueing half an aquatic plant centre on their ghillie. It’s certainly come…

    Quite a milestone. I was going to do a couple of other articles this week until I realised, so I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on the journey so far. The idea of the blog came about thanks to Phil from Sniper Ops, who suggested writing things down and showed me his WordPress…

    Operation Overkill Dirty Dog Airsoft, Shildon UK 27/05/23 Dirty Dog has been my local site for many, many years. It’s one of the most relaxed skirmish sites you’ll ever come across – always a good atmosphere, plenty of laughs, easy short games with plenty of breaks in the safezone to socialise, and gameplay that works…

    After a long day at work, and suffering from an alcohol-free January, I pinged a message to team engineer Dan, who earlier in the week had suggested a game of online chess. My go-to game at the moment is Escape from Tarkov, but SkinnyBitch has fucked off to Denmark this week and there’s nobody online…
