When building your load out you will be faced with the problem of choosing a pistol. There are many pistol variants available to choose from (I.E. Spring, Electric, CO2, and Green Gas.) This article will focus on helping you select between these two different gas powered pistols (CO2 and Green Gas). Green gas pistols are ran by a propellant mixture of propane and silicone oil. Most players tend to buy the mixture pre-made (Green Gas Link), but there are options to get an adapter (Propane Adapter Link Here) and siliconeRead More

If you watch YouTube videos, I am sure you have seen videos on dual sector gear (DSG) guns, and their quite unrealistic rate of fire. If you are not familiar with the workings of a gearbox, you may be wondering: how on earth can a gun shoot that fast? The concept is actually quite simple, in terms of how it works. In this article I will explain the differences between a single sector gear (SSG) and a DSG, with pictures to help you understand the difference in looks. Let’s startRead More

Staying hydrated in the field is vital for the safety, effectiveness, and overall enjoyment of any airsoft event. Austin, Airrattle team representative, wrote an in-depth article regarding methods of remaining well-hydrated and reducing fatigue. In this article, we’ll be looking at two different pieces of gear that make it easier to keep yourself hydrated without adding much bulk or having to carry five water bottles in your cargo pockets. The most popular and arguably the easiest way to carry water is through reservoirs. Commonly referred to as “Camelbaks” and “bladders,”Read More

When playing airsoft finding the right mask or goggles for your play style can be difficult. Finding the right goggles or mask when you have prescription glasses is even harder. I have been playing for a long time now and have had to search and search for the right pair but I have found some along the way that are great for the player with glasses, when you don’t want to order RX lens for your googgles. I have provided a list below with some goggles and a mask thatRead More

If you search for tech airsoft videos on YouTube, or if you read forums, I’m sure you have seen people talk about gearbox “radiusing. ” What exactly is it, and why do we do it? Yes, it is a modification you will do yourself, but it is actually one of the easier and quicker modifications you can do with just a small rounded file. The front of your gearbox takes a lot of force from the piston slamming in to the front of the gearbox, and if you are runningRead More

There are many different weapon variants that are commonly found in airsoft. Many airsoft players who dive into the world of tactical gear often find it difficult to find the correct magazine pouch that will properly fit their airsoft gun’s magazines. In this article, we will be breaking down the compatibility between different airsoft gun pouches & magazines. Two of the most popular airsoft guns are variants based off of the M4/AR platform and the AK/Kalashnikov platform. When it comes to finding magazine pouches for these airsoft guns, there isRead More

Airsoft is a great competitive sport that helps build both physical and mental capabilities while also teaching about tactics and team work. However, from time to time you will find people that don’t like to follow the rules. Cheaters: The people that at times do not call their hits or even abuse the kill rag to move to a better position. (Sounds weird, but most of us have seen people do this before.) In most cases when people see others cheating they tend to yell and get in each other’sRead More

The long and heated debate between snipers is whether a sniper really should us a ghillie suit in airsoft games or not. A ghillie suit is a camouflaged article made to resemble the foliage and is commonly used in grassy plains to heavily wooded areas. When going to a new airsoft field, it is suggested to bring your suit but not to use it until you get a feel for the field. If you are using a woodland foliage suit and the field you’re playing on has very little toRead More

If you have ever chronoed your gun, you noticed that you get a “Feet per Second” (FPS) reading but also a “Joule” (J) reading, and have probably wondered what those numbers mean and how they compare to each other. These are two different measurements of what the BB is actually doing once it leaves your barrel. The main factor that changes J ratings is the BB weight, but there are other factors that I am not necessarily going to address in this article like barrel length, barrel bore, and yourRead More
