Many of us see Tokyo Marui as a brand leader and innovator in the world of airsoft. Not only did they help to build the airsoft market from the ground up, but they also continue to push the boundaries with the products they release. It’s hard to imagine what the modern airsoft landscape would look like if they hadn’t decided to begin producing guns for us to shoot each other with. Continue reading →

With the community of airsoft players in the UK continuing to grow, this naturally means that the number of people willing to pick up a second-hand gun is also increasing. Whether it is through a dedicated selling website such as secondhandairsoft.co.uk or prefired.com or from someone at their local site, there is definitely a market for used rifles and pistols.

“You ain’t seen Bad Boys II?”. An often-quoted line from the Simon Pegg and Nick Frost classic Hot Fuzz, which still rings true today. If you haven’t seen Bad Boys II, then you should, even as it approaches its 17th birthday. Continue reading →

The meteoric rise in the popularity of sharing airsoft gameplay footage via video sharing sites such as YouTube and Facebook has led to many more people recording their days on the field. Whether they run a scope cam, first-person camera or both, we are seeing a significant rise in people filming their airsoft experiences. Although there are arguments for and against the use of cameras in airsoft, something we’ll touch on in a separate blog post, there’s no denying that we’ve all marvelled at some of the epic sniper shots that have been caught on film.

If you’re looking to get your hands on a brand new air gun or airsoft rifle, but don’t fancy paying the full cost upfront, then our finance options might just be the perfect match!

In 1995, the action-comedy Bad Boys was released, and it soon became a well-loved film. The main stars in the movie are Will Smith (Mike Lowrey) and Martin Lawrence (Marcus Burnett) who feature as Miami Police Department narcotics detectives. The plot of the film follows the pair as they set out to protect a witness of murder. Meanwhile, they also investigate a case regarding a dangerous drug lord who stole $100 million worth of heroin from the evidence storage room of their police department. Continue reading →

In a sport that is built on respect, fair play and keeping within the ‘spirit’ of the game, riot shields are something of a dividing topic. Many of us will have at some point considered whether using a shield would be productive for us and our teammates and whether it would be something we actually want to use. Continue reading →

There are few cooler accessories within the airsoft community than grenades. The fact that in 2019, we are able to hurl semi-explosive devices at each other for fun, without fear of injury, is simply astonishing; and something we’re also rather pleased about! Grenades can often be overlooked by many airsoft players, as some see them as an unnecessary expense. However, we at Surplus Store are big fans of them. One of the great things about airsoft grenades is their versatility, and that they can be used both indoors and outdoors. Not only this, but they can really add an element of realism to the game that players love. Continue reading →

We often talk about PCP air rifles, and we have an extensive collection online and instore. But those of you who are new to the air gun scene might be wondering; what exactly is a PCP air rifle? Well, fear not! We will take a closer look here: Continue reading →

Strangely enough, we’ve not heard the word ‘airsoft’ mentioned in any of Boris’ Brexit plans, which must mean it has slipped down the priority list. Luckily, it still holds centre stage for us, and we’ll be keeping a firm eye on how the Brexit scenario will be affecting our favourite sport. Unfortunately, almost none of what we’ll be mentioning in this article is confirmed, as it feels that not even the people in charge know what’s happening. However, we wanted to put this together to look at the possibilities that could come with a (more than likely) No-Deal Brexit result and how our beloved airsoft will be affected. If you think we have missed anything, or if there is anything specific that you would like to see an article on, drop a comment below or reply to our social media posts on Facebook and Twitter!
