Optics on pistols are like Marmite, some choose to slather it on everything they eat while others avoid it at all costs. So while Marmite reminds me of the smell of napalmed cow shit, I’m not opposed to sticking a red dot on the occasional pistol. I’ve had an RMR cut pistol slide for a... Continue Reading →
I’m rather protective of this blog, so it’s rather rare that you’ll see a guest review pop up. Rare, but not unheard of. A guest article has to meet a certain amount of criteria for me, and to even consider handing the reins across to someone else, they have to meet certain benchmarks: The reviewer...

I have somewhat of a chequered history with the Tokyo Marui P226 E2. I’ve owned two; the first one crashed and burned, the second? Well, it’s looking good so far... So why did I sell the first one, and more importantly; why buy the exact same model again? The answer to the first question is... Continue Reading →
Small disclaimer: Much of the information within this article is subject to become wrong or out of date as time goes by. Marui don’t tend to change much, but release dates can be pushed back (as was the case with the original MWS (pushed back over two years from its planned release date) and the... Continue Reading →
We’re all awaiting this Fridays big livestream, waiting to see what Marui delivers and praying that it won’t be a rushed product, but the MP5 that we really deserve.

Sometimes, less is more. You don’t need to hint at 5 new releases when there is only one thing that everyone wants to see... “Yippee Ki Yay, Marui lover” After waiting and waiting weeks and weeks for a release date for the GBBR AKM, what do Marui go and do? Yeah, they ambush us with... Continue Reading →
Sometimes it’s not what you know, but who you know. It certainly helps when it comes to getting ahold of something that’s prohibitively expensive, or just plain old hard to get. It just so happens that recently, a friend of a friend was nearing the end of his time kicking down doors and shooting watermelons,... Continue Reading →
Forums... Damn, I miss forums. They gave you an endless resource where questions could be asked, answers could be found, things could be bought, sold and swapped... So why the hell did we ever migrate away from them? The answer is probably linked closely to the massive rise in smartphone usage around 2008, with the... Continue Reading →
Crye’s JPC (Jumpable Plate Carrier) has for quite some time been used as the benchmark of how to make a lightweight and highly mobile plate carrier, whilst its not a one size fits all solution built for everyone’s needs, it has become a common sight on those who often have the pick of the litter...
