ibo7 Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Can people recommend the best YouTube reviewers that are active recently? I'm aware of quite a few like AirsoftMike, Pheas, Redwolf, Patrol base etc but just wondering if people can recommend others that I may not be aware of that are worth watching?

woody_2231 Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 (edited) explosive enterprises, badabing pictures, jaegerprecision, middle age gamer, etc. Some of the youtubers you listed aren't actual reviewers, they do paid promotions which can mislead people into buying garbage.

Yup, those are the main content makers that I subscribe to Sadly, I think Airsoft Mike had some sort of mental health issue and had stopped for a while, but was certainly a promoter, rather than a reviewer Pheas, as nice a chap as he is seems to be concentrating on some lower end models, nothing wrong with that in the slightest And I do enjoy a 4uad smart Airsoft video, even if (not that) deep down they are all up GHK’s Bahookie lokkers and ibo7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to this I wouldn't put much faith in reviews from shops. They're not going to tell you if it's shit when they want you to buy one. 1 hour ago, ButcherBill said: Airsoft Mike posted a video recently saying he was on his way back.

Good to hear I never take any review is completely honest, unfortunately it's just the way reviews usually work u less they're totally independent and actually paid for the item themselves. I watch plenty of other gun channels but haven't yet found many airsoft ones I really liked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisz Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 (edited) Nearly all of them are garbage because they're paid shills. I'm afraid to say it loud but reddit has a lot more useful information regarding guns than YT. Edited October 20 by Krisz ibo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lord_Poncho Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I find the Pheas airsoft videos probably the most useful and genuine -his disassembly videos are some of the best out there. But ultimately all you tube content has to be viewed with suspicion - they are helpful for understanding features, internals etc etc regardless though.

"What Y'all Think Of My New M4", "Where Do Y'All Play In Tallahassee", basically loads of inane post with "Y'all" somewhere in the subject r/airsoft takes a lot of browsing to find any nuggets of gold, and I always tell any UK players to come here instead 🤣 Back to this threads subject though there's no single answer to this, you just need to follow and watch a few until you get a feel for them and how they operate. If you watch the above recommendations, and maybe thrown in Airsoft Camman (who does get a lot of freebies), YouTube will see what you're watching and make reccomendations. ibo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Pheas is the one I like the most out of the bunch you mentioned simply because he actually cracks open the guns he reviews so I can check the internals out beforehand.. Not that it matters anymore as every new gun I buy gets dissected immediately after leaving the box, but it's something EVERYONE should do. We all know where the fire selector on an M4 is. or where BBs go in a high cap. Those "reviews" are a waste of time for both the person doing it and the people who watch them. About reddit: I've read some interesting points of view, but also read through a ton of bullshit and plainly wrong information, it takes half a working brain to tell which one is which tbf. ibo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's part of all Airsoft I am talking about the posts I have no initiative or deductive reasoning so not prepared to spend 5 mins to figure it out and couldn't even figure out how to do a Google search for the answer so spoon feed me how to undo a hex head screw. ibo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your average redditor is brain dead as f*ck but at the same time reddit can be a gold mine of information if you don't give up digging. 🤓 ibo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Airsoft_UK subreddit terrible in terms of it's moderation too. 2nd hand sales threads tend to get locked or deleted and then redirected to a dead UK Airsoft Sales subreddit. Airsoftcirclejerk tends to have couple of funny posts. Edited October 21 by MrTea ibo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
