Gungho Cowboy

Christmas is just around the corner, only 8 days left and we all are hoping that Santa grants our wishes. I have already made my list and prepared a huge christmas stocking when he slides down the chimney.

Dom

My need for a SIG-556 AEG started at the moment I first laid my eyes on those amazing pictures taken at this year's Las Vegas Shot Show. I always found the SIG line-up pretty interesting, but the airsoft versions were not convincing enough for me, until one day I saw a post on one of the airsoft news sites.

Ogre

Taking photos for a review isn’t so difficult. I find it not so different from product photography, in a sense, and you are after all trying to sell an idea.  Let’s see if we can help you improve on how you take photos if you intend to submit a review to any airsoft forum or publication (like Popular Airsoft).
