The Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizirovannyj, AKA The Kalashnikov, AKA the AK. Quite simply, the most prolific firearm in history. There’s an estimated 40 to 150 million AKs in existence, and that’s not even taking into account it’s relations; the Norinco Type 56, the AMD-65 and the Zastava M70 to name but a few… Often confused with...

GBBRs (Gas BlowBack Rifles) are labelled as inconsistent, a sod to work on, in need of constant maintenance and in general, a novelty best left in the safe zone. What I’m going to do here, is give you my opinion. It won’t be backed up by science, it won’t include “things I’ve heard” and it... Continue Reading →
I’m a self confessed Tokyo Marui fanboy... But I’m not blind to the fact that some other manufacturers have started to move in interesting directions with their products. Whilst practically every replica I’ve bought over the last five years has been Japanese, it’s not because I won’t buy another brand, it’s because there’s simply very... Continue Reading →
Striking a balance between usable and affordable isn’t always easy... When considering tactical accessories, there’s often a choice to be made between the usually very expensive real deal or the cheaper and often inferior clone.

Not since I purchased the Marui Mk46 Mod.0, has any one item gathered so much attention as this simple little hinge. From the moment I posted on Instagram that mine had arrived, my inbox has been overflowing with questions about this rather unique looking device. Being potentially the only independent reviewer of such a niche... Continue Reading →
This review almost didn’t happen, not because I didn’t want to try out Ferro’s latest pouch... Quite simply, I’ve bought far too much already this year and with a lot of different projects currently on the go, I just couldn’t justify spending money on yet another bit of tactical gear. With that being said, Ferro... Continue Reading →
We’re less than two weeks away from the release of Marui’s new “Gas Machine Gun”, the AKM. So for anyone who’s not looked closely at TM’s new GBBR, here’s the juice: The Good Nothing is set in stone with an unreleased product, but judging by Marui’s previous form with gas blowback replicas we can be...

Using Velcro on tactical gear is hardly a new concept, but to make it a central element of the design and to use almost nothing else? Whoa, there’s an idea! So how does a company come from nowhere, with a product that’s so different to the norm, and somehow produce something that’s now considered a... Continue Reading →
Nothing ends up quite as awkward than when a casual skirmish site throws it’s hat into the ring and tries to pull off that most daunting of tasks, and announce... “We’re holding a MilSim game!” The initial flow of enthusiasm that accompanies a local MilSim is swiftly overtaken by the full knowledge that it’ll be...

Showcasing builds is something that I’ve wanted to do for some time now, it’s something that actually introduced me into the world of airsoft blogs and it’s something that I’m absolutely certain is of interest to you guys. Social media is where many of us get our fix of other people’s builds, but the nature... Continue Reading →
