So you think you've got a unique loadout? We love those who think outside the box here at Patrol Base, and as much as we enjoy a real-world accurate loadout with attention to detail, we also appreciate those who go out of their way to do something few Airsofters have done before. From life takers to heart breakers, you'll find it all in Airsoft, that's one of the many reasons our sport and community are so amazing. Get in here if you want to see our five favourite Airsoft loadouts seen at HALO MILL: Proving Grounds!

Join us as we break his kit down, check everything out and get some insightful opinions from the man who put it all together. Nothing is classified in this blog!

You may have already suspected it, but here at Patrol Base we aren't just fans of Airsoft, many of us are also avid gamers! As such, we have noticed that certain fictional guns featured in GTA V bear a striking resemblance to Airsoft guns, to the point that some of us are convinced that the game designers are using Airsoft as a reference for their designs. 

After a thorough investigation, we still have no answers, but we have at least decided which GTA guns available in Airsoft form are our favourites!

Here at Patrol Base, we pride ourselves on our devotion, dedication and passion to Airsoft as a sport. Not only do we provide the best equipment at the lowest prices, but we're also players too! So we're giving you a SITREP on our staff loadouts, from guns to gear, lets see what they take to a Sunday skirmish.

Looking for inspiration for your dream Action Army AAP-01 build? The options available for the AAP-01 platform mean no two guns need look alike, and there are as many configurations out there as there are grains of sand on a beach. In this blog, we will take you over a custom build AAP-01 pistol owned by Load Out, our lead coach from Toky Woky. If you have ever asked a question to our community on our product pages you will probably have spoken with Load Out, an enthusiastic and knowledgeable young Airsofter with skills beyond his years. Let's check out his custom AAP-01 and see how he runs this ultra-adaptable Airsoft GBB pistol! 

We're well aware as to how much you all love your Impression Kits, whether you're replicating a Character from a movie or a Russian FSB Operator, you guys take playing dress up very seriously. So in light of adults playing dress up, we're going to take a look at the gear & equipment used by the Metropolitan Counter Terrorism Unit, the CTSFO and how you can rock the look. 

Any excuse for a Boneyard Build here at Patrol Base ! This time we are taking an ASG MK2 NBB Pistol and giving it a custom makeover to suit this most festive season. Whether you are standing back and looking on in awe or revulsion, join us as we butcher another one!

If you frequent the Patrol Base blog you may remember last year's Halloween Boneyard Build blog and the positively beautiful creation we spawned into the world. With the season of freaky things right around the corner, and the HALO MILL Halo-ween Airsoft event night ready to kick off on the 29th of October we thought we would revisit the Patrol Base Mini-Franken and give it a lick of paint to freshen it up for this year's festivities. Join us on our journey to reinvent something that probably should never have been invented in the first place!

Today we're introducing Sam (MKII), a once-customer now-turned Customer Service Representative and Purchasing Manager. Sam was an avid Paintballer until he discovered Airsoft at our CQB Site: HALO MILL, and hasn't looked back since.

The subject of this Boneyard Build is an old CYMA AKS-74U, a former HALO MILL rental AEG, and we are aiming to make it ready to face the wastelands of the post-apocalyptic future and create our own custom Airsoft AK for Stalker, Fallout or other post-apocalypse inspired Airsoft loadouts. 

From their previous trip here where they filmed a review of the Taran Tactical - KW3 Combat Master Pistol, they also got together with our media team to do a little fashion shoot.

An international member of staff known as Gary from the Czech Republic has been working within our product testing department and now recently changed to a new role joining the team of people who two-tone your orders!

Perhaps you have heard of the Boneyard; home of the lost, broken, unwanted and ruined Airsoft replicas, as well as some great deals on perfectly usable gear and guns, and of course, a superb source of cheap project guns. For this build blog, we will be taking one of the most effed up Boneyard guns you have ever seen, and making a custom and mould-breaking Airsoft gun from what is left. Read on to learn how to turn a cheap, second hand Airsoft AEG into something that is...unique, to say the least!

You thought the standard MK23 was good, well prepare to be amazed.
