Every once in a while I see someone bringing a shield to a field. While it isn’t used a lot during the day, it certainly can be useful to overcome a well protected bottleneck, particularly in CQB. The problem is that having to carry 5 to 10 kg of metal plate for these situations is
One of the first worries for beginner airsoft players is eye protection and, in case of CQB, mouth protection. A full face mask might be a bit pricey, so a common setup is using goggles plus a half face mesh mask. For example, I got this pair: Finding them in Amazon or eBay

The stock pin is nothing more than a metallic cylinder that rests in the middle of the hinge mechanism of the stock. In rifles such as the G36C, you may want to fold the stock whenever you enter a building. This way you have better maneuverability in enclosed spaces. Mostly, what you want is the
Let’s get started on the second part of the sound grenade build, this part focusing on soldering, programming and assembling the electronics into the enclosure. For instructions on how to make the 3D-printed enclosure, check out Sound grenade for Airsoft [Part 1: Enclosure]. I decided to use an ATtiny85 microcontroller and the Arduino environment because
Commercial airsoft grenades have to be refilled with CO2 capsules every time they are used. This sound grenade aims to be more economical since it can be used hundreds of times on a single coin cell charge, although you will lose the realistic loud bang and the ability to throw BBs. It consists of a
This goggles defogger is a device with fans and a standard gun battery that I use to defog my airsoft goggles. Unlike masks with integrated fans, this has to be carried on a pocket, but the good thing is that it is very powerful. I carry it in a chest pocket of my vest, and
