SILO'S LOADOUT & GEAR
The exact setups, optics, and tactical loadout I run in my videos—built for max reliability, tracking shots, and all-day endurance.
Primary Weapons & Performance
SSG11 Sniper Rifle
The SSG11 is a project summary from the last 15 years of airsoft sniping development all applied into one platform. A top dead center hop-up adjustment wheel with fine clicks, being able to use airbreaks out of the box, a super large cylinder volume, and an adjustable piston are just some of the features this platform brings out of the box.
Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa
As a sniper player, the pistol is just as important of a choice as the rifle. Half your kills are going to be coming from the pistol. Because pistols are notoriously unreliable due to temperature sensitivity, the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa has proven to be the one that works on regular green gas in every environment. Both extreme heat and below freezing. One gas-filled mag will empty about 3-4 mags worth of rounds.
Silo Scope Set
Snipers need to adjust their shots based on the previous shot, so being able to clearly track your shots is most important. Quality glass with great eye relief is the name of the game. I’ve put together a scope set which gives you all the important add-ons: a sun-tube to reduce sun glare in the front glass of your scope, making you less likely to be spotted; a bubble level to allow you to completely level your gun before taking the shot, ensuring the rifle hops the BB perfectly vertical; and a quality scope mount to quickly attach and detach your scope.
Eshooter X Silo Smoke Suppressor
This smoke suppressor is not only a great addition for realism, it comes with a lot of useful features on the field. A built-in chrono takes away the need for a dedicated chronograph in your gearbag. A tracer unit for when you’re playing indoors with tracer rounds and of course its muzzle flash and smoke generator. The amount of smoke per shot is adjustable via the app as well as the muzzle flash color and intensity. This is a must-have for any airsoft kit.
Headwear, Protection & Optics
Pyramex I-Force Anti-Fog
I use Pyramex I-Force anti-fog glasses. These glasses are full frame so no BBs will get into the glasses from any angle and it has a gel layer on the inside preventing fog. If full frame glasses are not needed I use a set of BLOC Lynxs, but an Anti-Fog Fan Unit is the ultimate solution if you still fog up.
Mk.II Steel Half Face Mask
The soft sides make it a very comfortable mask to wear for longer periods of time. You barely notice it’s there when aiming down sight with your cheek on the stock, and that’s all we need from the mask: to not get in the way.
Mod 2 Boonie Hat
I took the Mod 2 Boonie Hat and attached fake leaves, pieces of green, beige, and black string to it to break up the silhouette. It has attachment points for camouflage but also for battery packs and camera mounts.
FMA FAST Helmet
The FMA helmet is a widely used helmet known for its comfortability and build quality. It’s a FAST helmet with plenty of high quality, tight-fitting attachment points for camera mounts, night vision, and ear protectors.
Camera Rigs & Media Capture
DJI Action Pro
As my main head camera I use the DJI Action Pro. It comes with a huge battery for if you don’t want to run an external power bank. Has great low-light performance compared to all other action cameras.
Runcam ScopeCam 2 (4K @ 60FPS)
This scopecam has been developed alongside airsoft YouTubers including myself to check all the boxes. It’s rainproof, has a lens that is protected from BB impact with replaceable covers, and has a battery that lasts much longer than an entire airsoft day. To clearly see and film the shots, the camera runs at 4K and 60 frames per second, with the latter being even more important for shot tracking.
Apparel, Load-Bearing & Accessories
PT1 Tactical Belt + 4-Point H-Harness
I prefer harnesses over plate carriers due to the freedom of movement and heat dissipation. Plate carriers are notorious for being very hot right underneath the plates. The H-Harness does everything a plate carrier does but is more suitable for airsoft. I use the PT1 Tactical Belt in combination with the 4-Point H-Harness to attach all my gear to.
Amomax Universal Paddle Holster
I’ve tried many, many holsters, but this universal hard-case design by Amomax is simply the best. It’s adjustable in size to your individual pistol to eliminate wobble and keeps your pistol perfectly in place even when running.
Hypershell X Pro Exo-Skeleton
Recently I have started utilizing an exo-skeleton meant for runners and mountain climbers into my gear. On longer events spanning multiple days, it keeps me running longer and farther than without it. It adds about a horsepower to your leg energy output as it assists with every leg movement. I use the Hypershell X Pro.
Mechanix Precision Pro High
What sets these Mechanix gloves apart from other ones is that they are, as the name implies, made for mechanics. Mechanics need to feel what they are doing when doing up bolts whilst still being durable enough to handle heavy wear and tear. They are much thinner and offer a better sense of touch versus other gloves.
Phylax Heavy Precision BBs
An airsoft sniper rifle is useless without good ammo. This is where most people get disappointed with their sniper's performance. Shooting the heaviest ammo allowed/available will give you the best performance. I use mainly Phylax BBs.
Tactical 2-Point Sling
My sling is a custom-made paracord 2-point sling, however if you’re looking for something with similar performance, the Rifle Sling is an excellent substitute. Slings are a personal preference as some people prefer a one-point sling (usually assault players) and snipers usually opt for the 2-point sling.
Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs)
I run a different camo setup depending on what environment I’m playing, but I stick with mostly M81 Woodland or Greenzone/CADPAT camos which work in all environments.
Fast Taco Pouch Setup
My pouch setup changes depending on what loadout I’m running, but the right kind of magazine pouches makes all the difference. Avoid pouches with a tab on the top and use high quality taco pouches for fast reloads and quick insertion of used magazines back into the pouch.
My Setup:
• 1x Dump Pouch
• 4x Fast Pistol Magazine Pouch
• 1x Fast Rifle Magazine Pouch
