Airsoft and Night Fighting

Night fighting is a wholly unique and different experience from daytime fighting. It presents a challenging environment to master effectively. For the user intent on “owning the night”, as the saying goes, you will want to strongly consider investing in a good set of night vision equipment. Complimenting NVG’s is the addition of an IR laser, which is in this authors opinion, an absolutely indispensable piece of equipment for effectively and discretely (to non-NVG users) aiming your rifle at night.

With the airsoft season starting to draw down here, I can finally get to some of the items I’ve been testing for the past year.

PTS US Palm AK Battlegrip Review

There are quite a few aftermarket grip options for the AK on the market – but US Palm probably makes the best one in my opinion.

To give it a little touch of the modern, I threw on an AAC Blackout flash suppressor. I like this particular look on the AK-104 more than the traditional cone style booster or a simple A2 birdcage.

So You Wanna Be a Sniper?

If you spend any time at all in the airsoft world, you will invariably come across someone who wants to be an airsoft “sniper.” You yourself may even want to be this in due time.

But what is an airsoft sniper exactly? As a new player to airsoft, you may be approaching the idea with visions of Battlefield 4 and being able to “quick-scope” your way through enemy legions. Continue reading “So You Wanna Be a Sniper?”
