Tactical Defense

Unfortunately our airsoft nightgame was canceled, but I discovered a totally new place. My sempai, or mentor, took me to Tactical Defense. It's a small warehouse that's been converted into an indoor airsoft arena. I arrived around 8PM and played until almost midnight. During that time we played about three rounds. There were about six people per team and things got pretty crowded.

My first round was pretty depressing. I seemed to go out into the field only to be sent back to the "dead room" without getting a single hit. My second and third rounds were better being able to make a number of kills.

It's all about movement and angles. Accuracy and speed were secondary. Playing indoors is totally different from outdoors. Everyone was more casually dressed for one and the games were almost entirely played with GBB pistols. There were only two of us using AEP's, but we held our own. AEP's have an advantage that they have higher-cap mags and are quieter to use. I doubt one needs more than two regular mags to play a game. You don't get off many shots in a place that small.

I'm looking forward to spending some Friday's there and perhaps more depending upon the weather this year. It's a lotta fun for sure.
