2020 GIFT GUIDE | CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR AIRSOFTERS!

Hey friends!

Welcome back to the blog! Following on from the Stocking Fillers for Airsofters post I published last week, this week I'm looking at Christmas gifts for the airsofters in your life! Whether you have no idea about airsoft but your lady, fella, relative or teammate is into it and you need some guidance or if you're an airsofter yourself and you just need some ideas for a gift they'd love, there's something on this list for every budget!





The Large Rifle Case from Nuprol is a hard rifle case that features 4 latches to keep the case shut, a carry handle, wheels on one end and a handle on the other for easy transportation and 
2 padlock holes on front edge for when you need to securely lock the case for international travel. This version has pick and pluck foam which means you can customise the case to your load out for added security. This link is for the black case but it's available in 3 other colours (some are cheaper too!) You can  read my review from when these were released here!




Is the airsofter in your life a budding airsoft YouTuber? The GoPro Hero 9 is the newest Hero in the GoPro range and boasts a bunch of features including enhanced stabilisation to capture your gameplay!



If the airsofter in your life plays a lot of CQB, a good tracer unit is essential (and tracer BBs look cool AF). The ACETECH Lighter BT tracer is compatible with both red and green tracer BBs, is rechargeable (with a fully charged battery lasting for over 22,000 rounds) and even has an app available on the App Store/Android store. Bundle this with the Nuprol RZR Tracer BBs 0.2g for a great gift!



Airsofters always need ammo, so the Specna Arms EDGE Precision BBs made by BLS are a great choice for any airsofter. Available in different weights (I use 0.25g for indoor CQB and 0.28g for outdoors/urban) and they come in bags of 1kg. The only thing I don't like about the Specna BBs is that they come in a bag rather than a bottle so make sure to seal the bag when you've loaded up!



One of my favourite AEGs that I've used during 2020 is the KWA RONIN TK45C from Extreme Airsoft. It is currently on sale for £279.99 down from £349.99 so now is definitely time to grab a bargain. Check out my full review on the TK45C here


The PTS EPMs have been go-to magazines since 2018. They hold 150 rounds, have an orange follower so you can tell when the mag is empty and are made of a tough, durable polymer - check out my full review here!






This is a product I've been using since its release in 2015 but dang does it keep giving! The Odin Innovations M12 Sidewinder Speedloader for M4 magazines allows players to load midcap magazines in a matter of seconds - no more tired hands from regular speedloaders! It holds up to 1600 rounds of ammo and can fit in a double M4 mag pouch so can be easily carried on the field. It's easily the best speed loader on the market but is currently out of stock at most retailers in black/dark earth but if you aren't too picky regarding colour, they are in stock in blue.

2020 GIFT GUIDE | STOCKING FILLERS FOR AIRSOFTERS!

Hey friends!


Welcome back to the blog! With Christmas just around the corner (my tree has been up since November 1st - fight me), it's time to once again start about buying gifts for our nearest and dearest and I've compiled a list of perfect stocking stuffers for the airsofters in your life - whether it's your lady, fella, secret Santa co-worker or teammate, there's something on this list for every budget!



So, with the new tiered system in the UK we're going to be spending a lot of time indoors over the winter and with a lot of airsoft sites closed for the meantime we won't be getting a lot of pew pew time in but, we can of course get some virtual pew pew in with the new Call of Duty! (Xbox link here)




Face protection is pretty important in airsoft, especially if the airsofter in your life plays CQB (we don't want to lose any teeth!) and the T'FARGE Comfort Mask from OneTigris is an affordable, licensed version of the Division S.I.X T'FARGE Comfort Mask. It's breathable, has a TPU portion protecting the nose/teeth and has padded sides to take the sting out of any shots to the grid.

Read my full review of the OneTigris T'FARGE Comfort Mask here




The Quake 8 from Tectonic Innovations is a new 7 shot blank firing grenade that’s made from CNC’d stainless steel that discharges .209 multipurpose primers. It has a safe position and 7 firing positions. At the moment it's on sale for £99.99 - a great saving. If the airsofter in your life plays a lot of urban/CQB games this is sure to up their play experience.

Read my full review on the QUAKE 8 here





The Wiley X SABER ADV. Shooting Glasses have been my go-to shooting glasses for the last 4 years, as they not only look good but are highly rated. They have Shatterproof Selenite Polycarbonate lenses that meet the MIL-PRF-32432(GL) ballistic standards: ANSI Z87.1 high velocity and high mass impact standards. T-Shell Lens coating that prevents scratches and 100% UVA/UVB protection with distortion-free clarity. They rarely fog and are super comfortable to wear. They're available with clear, smoke grey, pale yellow and vermillion lenses on their own or as a bundle with multiple lenses. You only get one pair of eyes - don't buy cheap eye pro off the internet ladies and gents!





The FRV Tailoring CQB sling is an affordable handmade weapon sling made from milspec materials from a Veteran owned brand. It's available in 11 different colours and with 3 different thread ends. The end detaches quickly via a clip.





Another bit of kit that's in my go-to kit bag - the Honeywell Howard Leight Impact Sport Ear Defenders! These are great value for money and look the part. These ear defenders, like many twice their price amplify ambient sound to avoid isolation and enhances the wearer's awareness of their environment by doing this. The sound amplification volume does not exceed 82 dB - the responsive technology reverts to passive hearing protection when noise reaches 82 dB so these are perfect if you're around a lot of pyrotechnics etc



The Xcortech tracer unit is perfect for the softer in your life that loves to play dark and sneaky CQB. Using tracer units in CQB definitely enhances the experience in my opinion as the glow in the dark BBs look cool AF and you can more accurately identify when you've hit someone. With the adapter it can be used on both a pistol or rifle.

GIFTS | CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR AIRSOFTERS!

Hey everyone!

Welcome back to the blog! Following on from the Stocking Fillers for Airsofters post I published last week, this week I'm looking at Christmas gifts for the airsofters in your life! Whether you have no idea about airsoft but your lady, fella, relative or teammate is into it and you need some guidance or if you're an airsofter yourself and you just need some ideas for a gift they'd love, there's something on this list for every budget!

PC: Gunfire.com

Gunfire Girls 2020 Calendar - €7.32 + del

This year I partnered with Gunfire.com for their 2020 Calendar. Women that actually play airsoft, cool kit and sweet guns, what more could you need?




You can never have enough weapon sights and the Vortex Crossfire RDS is a great choice for the player in your life that loves a bit of CQB carnage! It's fully Multi-Coated, including multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces to increase light transmission, has 11 light settings for all environments  and is Dot Size 2 MOA.




I am a huge fan of the OneTigris Plate Carriers, and the PLPC is great value for money! It's made from 500D Cordura Nylon with hardy UTX buckles making it both wearable and durable for airsoft. It comes with removable EVA plates and even a front magazine pouch that has room for 3 pistol mags in the upper pouch and 3 M4 mags in the lower pouch. Fully MOLLE compatable and it has an adjustable waistband & adjustable shoulder straps - check sizing before ordering as this is perfect for taller/wide set gents!




Do you know an aspiring airsoft YouTuber? Why not get them started with their first zoomcam? The RunCam 2 with 35mm lens is perfect for capturing zoomed in gameplay! It records in HD 1080p@60fps/720p@120fps. It also has a replaceable Battery: 850mAh replaceable battery that allows you to record 90 minutes under 720p@120fps and 60 minutes under 1080p@60fps. To top it off, there is an iOS and Android App that allows you to connect the camera via a mobile device for live preview, playback, download and parameters settings. I actually purchased one of these myself whilst writing this post to replace my 16mm RunCam2.




This is a product I've been using since their release and have multiple of to store all the airsoft guns in my office in and to keep them safe. They're tough, sturdy, lightweight, come with eggshell foam, have wheels so are really transportable and they're lockable as well! Check out my full review here!



PTS 150 Rounds EPM - £27.50

The EPMs have been my go-to magazines for the last 18 months or so and I fully believe they're the best mid-cap magazines on the market, you can read my full review here!





The Pentagon Artaxes Softshell in Wolf Grey is another product that I've been using for a good few years, I usually crack this badboy out in the winter when the temps drop and I need something to shield me from the windchill and keep the rain out. The Artaxes Softshell has a high collar with chin guard and a foldable, adjustable hood, two-way full front zipper, 8 pockets throughout the jacket, armpit ventilation zippers with insect repellent mesh, reinforced elbows. adjustable cuffs and bottom hem. It's also made from water resistant material. You can read my full review here!






Viper Tactical came in hot this year with new kit that has been KILLING IT and their Gen 2 Elite Trousers are no different. They fit well, are comfortable even in uncomfortable positions thanks to the stretch fabric, have ample storage, made of good quality material and have that high-end look at a fraction of the cost - they’re definitely Femme Fatale Approved. Check out my full review here!



Xcortech AIRSOFT PISTOL TRACER UNIT - £61.20

The Xcortech tracer unit is perfect for the softer in your life that loves to play dark and sneaky CQB. Using tracer units in CQB definitely enhances the experience in my opinion as the glow in the dark BBs look cool AF and you can more accurately identify when you've hit someone. With the adapter it can be used on both a pistol or rifle.



The WX Detection glasses are a great option for both airsofters and firearms enthusiasts. They come with a multitude of different lenses that are suitable for different environments such as tinted for bright sunshine and amber for low light. With an adjustable nose piece they are suitable for most faces.


This is one of the very first items I reviewed all the way back in March 2015 and it has been a staple in my kit ever since. You can read my full review here!

GIFTS | STOCKING FILLERS FOR AIRSOFTERS!

Hey everyone!

Welcome back to the blog! With Christmas just around the corner (my tree has been up since November 1st - fight me), it's time to think about buying gifts for our nearest and dearest and I've compiled a list of perfect stocking stuffers for the airsofters in your life - whether it's your lady, fella, secret Santa co-worker or teammate, there's something on this list for every budget!




First up on the list is my go-to face mask from OneTigris! You can read my review of this mask in my Women's Airsoft Kit feature! This particular mask is 1.5" smaller than the original Tactical Foldable Mask by OTG but has the classic padded sides to soften the impact and mesh to protect those teeth and your nose. It's comfortable, breathable and affordable - perfect for the ladysofter or young player. It comes in a range of colours so can suit any loadout.





The original Tactical Foldable Mesh Mask from OTG. With the same padded sides and mesh as the previous product, this is perfect for the man in your life.





The Wiley X SABER ADV. Shooting Glasses have been my go-to shooting glasses for the last 4 years, as they not only look good but are highly rated. They have Shatterproof Selenite Polycarbonate lenses that meet the MIL-PRF-32432(GL) ballistic standards: ANSI Z87.1 high velocity and high mass impact standards. T-Shell Lens coating that prevents scratches and 100% UVA/UVB protection with distortion-free clarity. They rarely fog and are super comfortable to wear.

The sound amplification volume does not exceed 82 dB - the responsive technology reverts to passive hearing protection when noise reaches 82 dB so these are perfect if you're around a lot of pyrotechnics etc




The Viper Tactical Scrote Abdomen pouch is a multifunctional tactical carry pouch or I as like to call it ' the tactical fanny pack'. These little pouches are perfect for storing first aid kit and tools - I primarily use mine to store blank firing grenade bits and bobs. They're pretty spacious, and it's secured with a durable zipper. Glove-friendly, silent and rubberised zipper cord pull
Pull tabs for easy opening/closing. These come in a number of different camo patterns and colours, and look great on a plate carrier or chest rig!




Olight PL-2RL Weapon Light Ultra-high-Output 1200 Lumen Outdoor Led Tactical Torch - £89.95

The PL-2 Valkyrie from Olight is one of the brightest compact weapon lights on the market with a single output of 1,200 lumens - that's insane! The light uses a high-performance Cree XHP35 HI LED powered by two high capacity CR123A batteries (which are included). The light has a TIR optic lens which provides an intense 235-meter-long focused beam that still is wide enough to see all around you. The heavy-duty quick attach and release mounting system allows the light to have a tight hold on any firearm with a rail. The ambidextrous switch allows the user to use their natural grip while still being able to activate the switch at a moment's notice in a high-stress situation.



The 5.11 Tactical GUSSE Ted case is a robust, flat card case made from nylon and Hyperlon. It has a see through compartment and plenty of space for important cards. 






3mm rubber matt perfect for the techs in your life! The Tactical Gun Mat from Viper features images and wording surrounding popular firearms production history, specs, overview, operating cycle, disassembly and component list.






Lixada Spinning Type Outdoor Combat Tourniquet - £12.99

For the Milsimmer in your life. No MilSim kit is complete without a combat tourniquet. Adding little details such as these to your kit take the impression to the next level. 





This warm and cosy beanie cap has 4 removable LED headlights, and can light up the distance up to 30 feet away. With 3 brightness levels that can be changed with a single touch, it allows you to customise your personal lighting to any environment. It has a standard USB port for charging the battery, and can be charged in an in-car charger, computer, portable power bank. The LEDs give up to 4 hours of continuous use or 68 hours of realistic intermittent use. Perfect for night ops, weekenders and MilSim ops.






Nuprol Airsoft RZR BBs 0.25 - £8.99 + del

The heart of the sport, without the BBs it wouldn't be possible! The RZR BBs by Nuprol have been my go-to ammo since 2016 - reliable and affordable.
