CQB CITY AIRSOFT NOVEMBER 28, 2010 (THE JUNKIE IS BACK)

The Junkie is back armed with a brand new camera. I used my time off to get out away from behind the lens and back on the field. In the nearly one month stint I rekindled the flame that I called close quarter airsoft. I forgot how much fun it to play as it was to watch and film it. I received more than a share of "battle wounds" all over my upper extremities. During one weekend people that I had gotten chicken pox =x

I want to send a very special thanks to everyone that donated in person at CQB City and over the internet via online donations. You guys showed you true support and raised over $100 dollars towards the purchase of new camera. With that being said I went ahead and purchased another Canon SD1400 with plans to get another camera for some rather epic video shots =) Thanks to everyone that continued to show love on the videos. Despite not having a video up for some time the channel grew, the views kept rising and the subscription surpassed the 2,500 mark. You are all true junkies!

Lets update you guys on a few things. Chief and the gang decided to open up 6 days a month instead of the usual 4 to spread out the amount of players per weekend. This way games would be of a nice size of 60-70 player a day. So now all you junkies have even more chances to come out to CQB City. As you will see in the video below the video scenarios are getting a bit more unique with a bit of more story behind them.

The most notable weapon of the day was a KWA MAC11. Despite being around 30 degree's in the warehouse it did not stop the use of many gas blow back weapons.

Scenario: This one was a player submitted and modified scenario. The premis was that the President (VIP) has been infected with a virus. It is the secret service (CAMO) job to locate the President and locate the antidote (3 Dog Biscuits and a Pepsi). The problem is that the evil corporation (INSURGENTS) that created the virus and the antidote have hidden the President.

Fantastic firefights all over the city this day. I found myself often in the thick of the fighting as I duck and dodged passing BB's. Luckily the "family jewels" didnt get pelted but I am sure that will change soon.

Enough with the chit chat!

Urban Shield Recap (Forcible Entry Equipment & Sniping Demo)

It was an early Friday morning when I received a call from Joey "Chief" Rubio the owner of CQB City. He asked if I could come out to Urban Shield to accompany him and head Global Security Academy (GSA) instructor Davide Giorcelli for vendor/demo day. Davide unveiled his newest offerings to the LE/MIL community; Tactical Ballistic Products (i.e., goggles & glasses). Having used these products on private security details in Afghanistan, and in parts of South America. The anti-fog, and anti-scratch goggles were a hit with many LE/SERT/SWAT members who stopped by the GSA booth that day.

CQB City Airsoft October 10, 2010 (TM MP7 TM Glock 17)

With the record numbers we have gotten during the last couple months surely things would die down especially as holiday's near. However, today was not the case as CQB City surpassed its attendance record of 160 players to just over 170+ people in attendance. The field was littered with BB's flying from all directions. As you will eventually see in the video(s) below everything in the BB's pass was obliterated =/

CQB CITY AIRSOFT ACTION Sept 26, 2010 (WE M14 CLASSIC AIRSOFT)

Blow back action! It was a fun filled day with a lot of new YOUNGER faces. While it was nice to see kids getting into this sport at a fairly young age I had hoped for a bit more maturity. Regardless of skill level or how much equipment they have I wanted to see solid shooting and from the veteran players I got that. Solid shooting by both camo and insurgent forces although camo had it out for them from the beginning. The first few rounds camo found fairly easy to complete objectives. But as the hours grew on things became a bit grim. A tough firefight for most.

CQB CITY AIRSOFT ACTION Sept 12, 2010 (Magpul Masada)

Wait? Are you guys in school yet? We had 100 participants this day and it left me wondering, have the kids left for school yet? Some fantastic shooting all around. It was nice to see some of the Bay Area teams come out to play. Fighting went well for both teams. We've made some minor changes to the field to change up the gameplay. It was nice seeing a lot of new folks enjoying their first fights in airsoft. Some of kid players were teaching their fathers a thing or two about airsoft =)

CQB CITY AIRSOFT ACTION Sept 4, 2010 (G&G FS2000)

Ahoy! As the end of Summer officially nears players come to CQB City enjoy the last fights of airsoft then their off to hit the books. Upon this day I heard many whisper "MilSimJunkie" and "thats the guy who makes those YouTube videos" please dont be shy and introduce yourself. I was able to talk to a few of you and many have shared very inspirational stories. One father-son duo I spoke to told me that video's like the ones on my YouTube channel inspired them to spend quality time together airsofting. I find it awesome that people can walk from all walks of life and all sorts of experience but yet still find something in common where they can cooperate and work together to achieve an objective.

CQB City Airsoft August 29, 2010 (KWA MP9 WE M14 GBB)

Finally! The number of camo uniformed participants outweighed their insurgent counterparts, but was that enough to thwart off enemies? With close to 90 or so players on the field and camo being heavily numbered each side fought hard to hold their positions. Among the crowd some newcomers to the sport decided to step away from the video game screen and play a little live action gameplay. Needless to say the airsoft bug has hit them and hopefully will return to the city soon. My ears rang as simulated reports and thunder b grenades filled the ambient corners of the warehouse that we call CQB City.

Again, Stephen Couratier has graced the cities presents along with his camera and took some pretty amazing shots. Please, feel free to visit his web album for the pictures.


The Most Notable Weapon of the day was the KWA MP9. This subcompact weapon I have eyed since I first heard about it in Shot Show 2010. By all means the MP9 is technically a pistol but because of its folding stock the platform can change to a much more stable subcompact machine gun. I have a feeling I will be seeing more of these onsite!
