Using Ghille Suits In Airsoft Events

The long and heated debate between snipers is whether a sniper really should us a ghillie suit in airsoft games or not.

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
Throughout my younger years I was an avid paintballer. I owned my own paintball gun – the too-well-known Tippman 98 Custom (Wal-Mart’s finest!), electrically feed hopper system, and I only used the best paintballs (In my opinion of course), ‘The Works’. Playing speedball in a field here in Ohio, I met all sorts of people from young kids who were just playing because their parents brought them for something to do, to adults, who lived and breathed the sport. Years later, a few of my friends stopped paintballing and pickedRead More
When it comes to batteries in your gun there are two main types of batteries. There are Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium Polymer (LiPo). The NiMH is the standard type of battery that almost any Automatic Electric Gun (AEG) can run off of, whereas the LiPo usually requires a MOSFET to be installed to use.

My Experiences at Operation Cold Ground

Airsoft events are like snowflakes, each one is different from the others. Any airsoft event can be an intense fight, it all depends on how into the game you get. One of my favorite events was an Operation Cold Ground at Hidden Springs Ranch, in Springfield, Ohio. One of the scenarios we played was at the air field area that was on the map. It was just a simple death match scenario, but the organizer, Blade, is one of the best I have ever seen. He was firing fireworks in the airRead More
