What Do Joules Mean in Airsoft?
Arguably, one of the most important terms used within airsoft, certainly when it comes to gun safety and operation, is joules. All players should have at least a basic knowledge and understanding of this particular property of a gun, while knowing how they differ and how they correlate.

What is an Airsoft Chronograph?
A vital accessory that is often overlooked by many new players, a chronograph (chrono) is an essential part of every players’ arsenal. Often, when starting out, it can be easy to put off buying one of these guys as sites will often have one you can use; or your local store will have one out the back. Either way, it can be easy to neglect the need to pick one up for yourself. However, with more and more new people getting involved with the sport, and the community growing as a whole, it’s important that all players should have immediate access to a chrono, either their own or a buddy’s.

Riot Shields in Airsoft: Overpowered or Under-utilised?
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. If you’ve not played with or against a riot/ballistic shield in the past, this may be something of a new topic for you and something you are yet to make up your mind on.
