Meme Mondays!
Meme Mondays! Time to name and shame all your buddies who are fair-weather airsofters... we all know a couple of them!
Shop the UF PRO range at UK Tactical!
UK Tactical (www.uktactical.com) have a great range of UF PRO gear in now! Before the company started the UF PRO brand, they were known only under their company name UNI&FORMA. UNI&FORMA was founded 1997 in Slovenia with the vision to make high performance garment systems for large organisations. They soon started to supply the biggest government organizations in Slovenia, such as the Slovenian Military, Police, Customs and many others. With almost two decades of experience of manufacturing outdoor clothing systems for professional...
AI-500 Confirmed for April – Location: Flambards Theme Park, Cornwall
As we mentioned on Tuesday, things were progressing with the AI-500 and a potential site. Well, things progressed a lot quicker than we thought following a site visit this week, and we're pleased to announce that this years' AI-500 will be held at Flambards Theme Park in Helston, Cornwall on the weekend of the 11th April! The site is honestly breath-taking, sitting at around twice the size of Cleethorpe Amusement Park; a previous location for the AI-500. To get a rough idea...
First Aid in Airsoft
Ever been in a situation where having a little First Aid knowledge may have been beneficial? I think the majority of us have. While over half a decade ago, a gentleman suffered a heart attack at The Gaol. Thankfully, the marshall team were trained, and were able to administer First Aid to ensure the gentleman was alive to tell the tale. However, this event could have ended up with the loss of a life. With that in mind, the event sparked...
AI-500 Anzio Point Photography & Next Event Teased!
With 2025 comes the promise of a new AI-500 event. We've had a lot of questions in regard to when the next event may be and where it is. Rest assured we're already planning with a provisional date in April looking to be the go ahead provided everything goes to plan. We're already in talks with a couple of quite frankly INCREDIBLE sites, and with the success of Anzio Point in terms of it being based around objective led gameplay, you'll...
Stirling Airsoft Training Event!
We spent some time this weekend with the team from Stirling Airsoft who were putting on a training event focusing on undercover surveillance in a live environment, urban close-quarters techniques, and rappelling. While we were unable to get stuck in with them, we took great appreciation from the level of organisation, quality of drills and generally the appreciation from each and every member attending in regard to what the guys at Stirling Airsoft offer. It may not be everyone's cup...

Platatac Release 5th Iteration of the Peacekeeper Chest Rig!
In a market that is widely dominated by our friends from across the pond, it is often hard to forge a legacy without being constantly compared to the latest and greatest inventions in the United States. That said, when it does happen, you usually find that the company in question has done so through hard work, determination, and a back catalogue of incredibly well thought out products. One such example of this is the Australian born Platatac, who quite simply...
Kit Up with US Navy SEALs VBSS
Another issue of AI, another brilliant Kit Up feature from us! This month we rewind to the 90s, taking inspiration from America's Navy SEALs and their VBSS unit. With our review of Tokyo Marui's MP5 SD6 on the way, we wanted to put together something that would compliment a 9mm sub-machine gun, and this VBSS loadout definitely does that. Furthermore, if you're not entirely sold on the MP5, there's plenty of reference imagery that sees VBSS teams using M14s, M16s...
