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 →

I feel a little weird approaching a business and saying “Hey, I’m a guy who reviews stuff...... Continue Reading →
Big disclaimer here, it’s not THAT Richard that’s provided the suppressor for review, It’s Mr Rickell. An avid airsofter, UKSF Impression scene member and 3D printing enthusiast. I’ll also take the time now to state that the suppressor was kindly sent my way, at no cost for the purposes of review, but also with zero... Continue Reading →

An example of someone who enjoys pain. However, there’s something to be said for adding a little weight within your plate... Continue Reading →
So, there’s one aspect of Airsoft that I might have overlooked a little in the blog... Those first steps into Airsoft. It’s a combination of having played on and off for over 20 years and also knowing that the majority of my early blog readership had a little time under their belts already. Starting out...

It’s that time of year again... That time of year where Tokyo Marui show us a little glimpse of what’s coming up over the next year or so. But be warned! Many have been led down the garden path by these teasers in the past and you have to take these shots with a pinch... Continue Reading →
