We’re back with another edition of Airsoft Basics, our featured series here on the Airsoft GI TV Blog where we teach you some of the things you need to know in order to step up your game as a new airsofter. Today’s topic is setting up your gear to accomplish the Recon role when you are out playing games. This means getting outfitted the right way so you can call in enemy positions, hit and run the enemy, and stay high speed and low drag!

As always, before we begin, it’s important to note that we’re basing this advice on personal experience playing airsoft. This is by no means to be construed as a be-all-end-all way to set up your gear. As with most things in the hobby of airsoft, Personal experience makes a big difference in how you’ll set up your gear versus someone else. Additionally, while it’s not the advice given in this article, sometimes people will make concessions for the sake of looking good or because it’s accurate to an impression-based kit they are trying to set up. All of these are perfectly valid, and it’s going to be up to you to decide how you want to do it.

The Texas Boys are back at it again with another VLOG! Today, we take you on a whirlwind adventure that covers a multitude of subjects! First, We’ll introduce you to our newest team member, Colin, an avid airsofter high-speed cool-guy who will be working behind the scenes on a lot of our technical stuff. We also tackle a task for the Fighting’ CEO Himself, Walter, and go digging through the closet that should not be opened! Fish and Dave also have a nice fireside chat about why bringing airsoft guns in public is a very dangerous proposition. Remember kids, never show off your airsoft guns in public, as they can be perceived as a real firearm, and get you in serious trouble, or worse!
