WHAT IS RECONBROTHERS®?
ReconBrothers® was founded on the belief that everyone should have access to high-quality tactical gear and reliable information. Whether you're a hobbyist, a professional, or somewhere in between, we are here to serve and support you.
Established in Belgium in 2018, the name "ReconBrothers" is a fusion of "Recon," short for "Reconnaissance," and "Brothers." The "Recon" reflects our commitment to thoroughly scouting the market for gear that meets our high standards. We study, test, and build experience with these products, offering only those that pass our evaluations—along with sharing all the insights gained from our research. "Brothers" represents the bond behind the brand, created by two brothers united by a shared vision.
At ReconBrothers®, we have zero tolerance for subpar products and are not swayed by flashy marketing or big brand names alone. By extensively using the gear we offer, we gain a deep understanding of its performance and value. Our focus lies on products from EU and USA-based companies, and we proudly support innovative newcomers while rejecting brands that we find overhyped or overpriced.
Our mission is to help you spend your hard-earned money wisely. There's nothing worse than investing in gear that fails when you need it most—or paying a premium when better or more affordable options exist. With ReconBrothers®, you can trust that every product is carefully selected to meet your expectations of quality, reliability, and innovation.

OUR STORY
As college students, we discover airsoft as a sport and go to our first event. We're hooked and purchase our first gear & airsoft guns.
Within a year the equipment fails. Both of us decide to ditch everything & do research to acquire newer more qualitative products.
Without any social media knowledge, we start an Instagram account to share our journey & the things we learn along the way. A Facebook page follows quickly after.
Seeing the lack of correct knowledge online, we create our own website with a blog. We start a Youtube channel & create the ReconBrothers® brand & Belgian company. We brothers quit our jobs. Armed with ideas we fully focus on Reconbrothers®.
After the realization that some products are incredibly hard to acquire, we decide to make them available & open up our own webshop aimed for civilians and individual servicemen-and women.
With the creation of our content an instructor reaches out to us. He has SOF background & gives our first tactical lessons. During that time one of our neighbors introduces us to firearm shooting.
Professional units reach out to us in need for specialized equipment which they cannot acquire on their own. Reconbrothers® gets known across police, military & firefighter units.
Being bitten by the microbe to learn & train more, we go through tactical courses with the use of airsoft. Shortly after, we switch from AEGs to GBBR airsoft guns to train & do events on a more realistic level.
The opportunity to do a tactical course with firearms presents itself. We don't hesitate & join the course which is given by an active SOF/SWAT instructor.
We decide to go through the process to become sport shooters & get our firearm licenses. Followed by this is the purchase our first pistol, a .22lr.
Keeping the pace with our webshop & creating content, we join more tactical courses abroad to widen our skills & knowledge base.
We acquire our first 9mm pistols and start fine-tuning our pistol skills with them. A new, more maturer company logo is published.
We acquire new camera equipment which enables us to create higher quality content.
Reconbrothers® releases this new state-of-the-art website/webshop. It lightens our workload & is provided with more features than ever before.
We make a deal to have access to a local shooting range that allows us to train and film sport combat shooting.
We relaunch our Youtube channel, now releasing videos on a monthly basis at a far higher quality then ever seen before. In progress ...
