Secondary Weapons in the Close Quarter Environment

In the close quarter environment the sidearm is a shooters best friend. A pistol allows the operator to effectively engage any enemy encounter while maintaining mobility throughout tight spaces. Keep in mind this is airsoft while basic firearm rules apply (all guns are loaded, finger off the trigger until your ready to shoot, muzzle control, ensure you know what your shooting and beyond it) some actions can be eliminated from the manual of arms (such as clearing gun jams).

Accuracy

Most people well tell you their sidearm is very accurate even over large distances and some are. Although an average airsoft operators, including myself, have tried engaging a target further than we should. The truth of the matter is that a pistol, shotgun, rubber knife, etc is a close quarter weapon. Keep this in mind when engaging your targets. In these environments it becomes more about putting those bb's on your target -anywhere on your target- rather than a specific location (such as the head, arm, foot).

CQB City Airsoft January 16, 2010

Just got back from CQB City night operations and I am glad to say that I spent most of my time filming. I managed to break my Condor 1-Point bungee sling during the first skirmish and I found myself rather uncomfortable with my thigh rigs (pistol holster).

That being said I will now revert back to my HSGI (High Speed Gear Inc) loadout. Ordered a Magpul MS2 sling from "t-tiger" on ASF for a fair price, a new dump pouch from Weapon Blender, and finally Glock Serpa Holster with S.T.R.I.K.E platform from Ebaybanned. Check back on the blog soon for a complete review of my loadout and new accessories. I also ive been getting a lot of comments on my coyote tan Condor Softshell, so I should be filming the review later this week. Ive had it for close to over 2 months and have used it on and off the airsoft field.

CQB City 7-18-09

Another day on the field. Your's truly shows up in this vid a bit often. Watch at 7:00 minutes as we take over the kill house.

Remember to commit to the maneuver, backup your teammate and move slowly and smoothly

CQB City 07-12-09

A nice day at the field a great way to beat the heat. The crowds are filling the field and close quarter combat situations are littering the ground.

CQB City 06-06-09

Wasnt able to make it to the game today but I still have footage available.

This is Mike's G&P/WA GBB M4. It seems blow back is showing itself more and more on the field as these new systems become more wallet friendly. What is interesting was Mike was the person to sell me my first AEG at AEX (Sacramento).

After the longs hours of cleaning and sweeping and re-sweeping it only takes a couple of scenario's to litter the field with BB's. Its all good. Again I want to give a big THANK YOU to all the folks that made it out last weekend to help us clean the field. The place would not exist if it were not like players like yourself to devote hours of your time not only to come out to the field to play but also to maintain the field.

Think and move

Whether this is your first post or the latest post you have read at Mil Sim Junkie I will continue to re-iterate this: assess and progress.

What do you mean? Assess the problem or situation at hand and progress to completing the objective.

In short think quick on your feet and think smart. Ive done my share of stupid things in airsoft; for instance taking point on a corner when I clearly saw a teammate get shot (FYI thats a no-no).
