Mach 1 Airsoft opened up an indoor CQB facility of their own just west of highway 401 & 400 in an industrial area of town and yesterday afternoon Stephen, Mario, Jason and I paid the place a visit.  Jason went on its grand opening two weeks ago and it was the first time for the other three of us.  The field is much larger than Ultimate Airsoft, probably twice the size and it feels more like urban combat than strictly CQB.  Don’t get me wrong I enjoy UA as well but this is a refreshing change and the fields are different enough that I think they can both survive.

Anyway it’s been a while since I’ve gone to play airsoft and it was nice to see some familiar faces. 🙂  The games were well run, Evan the ref is a player and he knows what airsofters like so I certainly had a good time.  My favorite part of the day was when I was rushing the 2nd floor of the upper structure, my PTW went down and someone else on my team and I rushed the players on the top floor, that was a lot of fun.  Unfortunately my partner was shot but I was able to clear out the rest of the defenders with my TM Glock 18C which wasn’t too bad, in fact as I turned the corner (blasting away), I actually saw my opponent cowering lol…  I guess he wasn’t use to seeing someone do a suicide rush but it worked out for me and I knew if I waited, the other side would have been reinforced and we would have lost the initiative.

Mario had some papers he had to write and since Stephen was his ride, they left after about 3 hours.  A shame as I always enjoy having those two around but that’s how it goes and Jason and I still had a lot of fun.  A bit later I was able to talk Evan into doing a low light game and lol I busted out the PVS-14, I swapped the lower on my PTW so I could use the PEQ box and that was fun.  Many of the players there have not seen technology like that so after the game I let the guys who were interested look through the tube and to see the IR dot from my laser.

I didn’t play much airsoft in 2014, I think I was a bit busier shooting my real guns but it felt good to get back into the action and I really did miss airsoft quite a bit.  After telling Maggie about my tales, she’s interested in playing again (first time in like 5 years) and I think the Mach 1 field will be a great place for her second coming. 😉  I considered taking her to Ultimate Airsoft but that place (it’s fun I enjoy it) is a bit tighter and I’m afraid she’ll get all shot up.  I was there for like 6 hours and didn’t receive any bad shots while I was playing.

Argh I forgot to take a group picture, oh well next time. 🙂
