Why swap out a mount from standard to aftermarket? What possible benefit can be gained from swapping one bit of metal for another? Well, there's a number of reasons. Accuracy, durability and weight are three reasons why many shooters decide to put aside the standard mount that their optics come with, in favour of specialist... Continue Reading →
It’s small, it looks like a blob of something unsavoury and it’s technically a consumable. It’s strange for sure, but is it useful? I was given the chance to review this small, odd shaped light through the guys at Tactical Kit and whilst there are only a limited amount of uses for a light such... Continue Reading →
Every year we wait with anticipation, hoping that this might be the year that Tokyo Marui cave in and build that GBBR or NGRS MP5, and every year we end up with something boring, something we didn’t ask for and without fail, something in a new colour. Bear in mind that I don’t speak Japanese,... Continue Reading →
I’m going to get the obvious out of the way before we look at this in detail... Yes, it’s very similar to the Microbat Systems Candy Pouch, but I don’t think that actually matters... I’ll explain why, later on. I should also mention that this pouch was gifted to me by Andy at Tacbelts UK... Continue Reading →
I’ve (for the most part) avoided buying internal “upgrades” for my ZET/MWS rifles until recently, mostly because the primary business that’s offering parts for the platform, Angry Gun, appears to think that a photo constitutes a technical drawing and making something “sort of good enough but not really” is actually acceptable. From Ambidextrous selectors and... Continue Reading →
I’m not convinced that I actually am, in any way, a fan of Glocks. They lack the Italian curves of a Beretta and the aesthetic refinement of John Moses Browning’s Colt M1911 design. Hell, it doesn’t even have the flair of a Heckler & Koch or Sig Sauer! But... It is an easy to shoot... Continue Reading →
Remember those videos showing an Airsoft replica of the ELCAN Spectre DR going through a vibration test and purporting to be the closest you can get to the real thing? They were impressive... I can’t find a link though, so you’ll have to take my word for it. More a grey than tan, FDE is... Continue Reading →
Every so often, you see something that turns your opinion on a subject upside-down. An idea that’s so simple and yet so revolutionary that it makes you question your position. I’ve always thought of magnifiers as ugly, bulky lumps that when they’re stowed, need to be plaved somewhere safe (twist mounts) or end up clumsily... Continue Reading →
Height over bore, or to put in layman’s terms; The distance between the point of aim to the bore of the weapon itself. Traditionally it has always been considered better to have as little height over bore as possible, but as technology and tactics have progressed, the application of height over bore has become a...

I like shotguns, they're intimidating and you have to work harder to miss. Airsoft shotguns though? Generally considered as underpowered, certainly they don’t appear to have caught on. Even in CQB games where you’d assume they’d be everywhere, you’ll often only find one or maybe two. They’re commonly viewed as an oddity, a good concept... Continue Reading →
