Building your first Airsoft loadout
The beginner’s guide to choosing kit. Where do you start and what do you buy? Thankfully, not as much as you might think. It looks daunting at times, seeing players online dripping in thousands of pounds/dollars/local currency of gear running around their local site, but it’s largely just cosplay. Certainly when you start Airsoft, you…

What’s wrong with an AEG?
Why do we prefer a GBBR or an HPA rifle these days? Or even a pistol? The humble electric or AEG gets a lot of stick but I still think it’s by far the best platform. In response to a conversation at Chemical Airsoft in Manchester last week, let’s talk guns… Ahh, electric powered adult…

The Legacy of Le Covert Sartorialist
The world of camouflage this week has been rocked by the news of the retirement of Le Covert Sartorialist, and for me, he’s led an absolute revolution in concealment these last few years. His work has been so far ahead of the rest and he changed the way so many of us thought about and…

ChatGPT vs Stipsniper.com
Recently I wrote an article on the possibility of AI writing blogs in the future. It’s a horrible thought that Airsoft media could become totally artificial, because it’s the people that make Airsoft great. A couple of nights ago a good friend decided to ask ChatGPT : “Please write me a quick blog post for…

The rise of AI?
“Can you get AI to write a blog?”. Good question. As I write this there’s a lot of debate around AI technology on the news, and as I understand it a few prominent tech leaders such as Elon Musk are calling for it to be slowed down or halted before we end up with the…
