This month, we seem to be heading in two very different directions—on one hand, we've got fun and gifting, and on the other, a precision instrument that would make a great gift to yourself (or your gun).
Craig's Pick: ALIAS GEM Dual-Calibre CO2 Pistol
While these have been selling fast, Craig is still hoping one finds its way into his hands as a gift—or, failing that, we may see one used as payment for a delivery run! 🤣
Jokes aside, Craig has been eagerly showing these off in-store to anyone willing to listen. The dual-calibre capability (switching between 4.5mm and 6mm) makes it a versatile little shooter, but let’s be honest—it’s not about performance, it’s about fun.
Since it’s classed as an airsoft pistol, it isn’t restricted under the VCRA, meaning it can be shipped directly to your door (as long as you’re over 18). This has made it an instant hit—a brilliant little fun gun that’s flying off the shelves.
Tee's Pick: Barnett Rat King Black Widow Slingshot
If you know Tee, you can probably picture a young Tina in the ‘80s making a homemade slingshot—so this pick makes total sense.
The new Black Widow, now branded as "Rat King", is a bit of an odd name choice—probably some American marketing idea that "more names = better". But branding quirks aside, this slingshot stays true to the original with some useful upgrades:
✅ Better grip texture for a solid hold
✅ Built-in sighting system for improved accuracy
Much like Craig’s pick, it’s a fun, nostalgic choice that would make a great gift as we head into warmer weather.
Luke's Pick: APOLLO Knock Down Reset Target (Adjustable Difficulty)
Luke’s taken the middle ground between fun and serious with this one—a perfect range target whether for your back garden airgun range or a professional setup.
Why it’s a great choice:
✅ Resettable from a distance—no strings needed
✅ Adjustable difficulty settings thanks to swivelling rings
✅ 3mm-thick steel—built to withstand serious abuse
Best used with 16-joule air rifles or 8-joule guns at closer ranges, it’s a great pick whether you’re setting up for personal plinking or running a full-on range course.
Karl's Pick: KalibrGun SNIPE 2 FS
We’re pretty sure this has been picked before, but its recent resurgence in-store sales has rekindled the love for it.
This thing is a performance monster with quality features that make it stand out:
✅ Adjustable folding stock with monopod & bag rider
✅ Arca rail & M-LOK cage for accessory mounting
✅ Lightweight—only 3.9kg despite its feature set
If you’re into serious target shooting, this is an ideal upgrade—all the right accessories, with none of the unnecessary bulk.
Final Thoughts
