Hello guys...I have some great news. My Father has leased out a building to a person..That person has told my Dad that he will be making it into a CQB Airsoft Arena. I believe it is 30,000 Square Feet. The estimated open time is in May 2010.
This is not a fake, it is totally Legit!
NOTICE: This is not the same Arena as CQB AZ, these are two different owners.
-
Nice! Do you know where it's going to be located or what type of building it is?
-
Wahoo!
-
hell ya!
and
more info plz!
thanks,
adam
-
Are you referring to the Vanguard Indoor Playground?
-
I do not have the exact name of what it will be called, but the location will be at Val Vista & Baseline Rd. The building is one story, and it is a very expensive peace of real estate. Any extra information will be posted when received.
-
Its probably the Vanguard one then(vanguards located on val vista and baseline) and thats right next to where I live! :mrgreen:
-
It is Vanguard. It s an 18000 sq ft building. 13000 for the field area, and 5000 for a place to pay/put gear. I talked to them today and they are hoping to be open in June. FPS limit is going to be 330 with .2s. I was told the facility is going to be modeled like the shopping center where the store is located with Val Vista and Baseline running through the middle. So far they have put down concrete to level out the floor but none of the buildings have been built. That's allni know.
-
Any reason the velocity limits will be set at 330fps rather then 350?
-
Any reason the velocity limits will be set at 330fps rather then 350?
I believe that is just what has been set around the area.
I know some places in California go up to 350fps w/ .20g
-
Any reason the velocity limits will be set at 330fps rather then 350?
Probably because at that close of range 330 is still hitting HARD. I have a cracked knuckle to prove it. Most CQB places don't have a minimum engagement distance so you get newer players spraying you in the back of the head, from 10 feet, on full auto, till the mag is empty.
This was brought up many times with the guys at CQBAZ, and it all comes down to safety. If you say why not 350 than why not 375 and if we are at 375 why not 400???? A limit has to be set and enforced at some point. I myself would have no problem with 300 W/0.2. I have seen people be very successful using AEP’s at CQBAZ the those things are SLOW.
-
Any reason the velocity limits will be set at 330fps rather then 350?
Are you kidding me? 330 w/.2g is perfect. Anything over would be ridiculous to be shot with at such close ranges. While the facility won't be set up like a room-to-room field, it'll still have some close spots where you're bound to get shot within a foot or so.
If you're thinking why is it not like California's CQB FPS limit, 350 w/.2g, (To my understanding), it's because they have bigger facilities that have more open space for what you can call "long range" shooting for CQB. So there isn't as many players being shot at within a foot or so.
-
It's all about what makes the field owners happy. I know a few places out here (Cali) that are 350, though at the same time I have played a CQB field that had a max of 400. To me there is no difference in the pain level, you are still getting shot a lot, very close, but it would be a safety thing. Can your eye protection REALLY handle 6-10 rounds at near point blank?
What are the restrictions on full auto going to be? Also will the lighting be adjustable? (playing games with the lights out in CQB is awesome) The more information the better!
-
... Can your eye protection REALLY handle 6-10 rounds at near point blank? ...
Yes they can if they are ansi rated z28.1.
-
Can your eye protection REALLY handle 6-10 rounds at near point blank?
Yes, and if yours cant, you shouldn't be playing airsoft with it.
-

Yes, and if yours cant, you shouldn't be playing airsoft with it.
I have to completely agree though... if you aren't confident of your eyepro's ability to protect your eyes... you need to get better eyepro.
Z87.1-2003+ will take rounds at 600+fps for multiple impacts with little to no permanent damage.
That plus is really important for airsoft, as Z87.1 without the + is guaranteed to stop one shot, they may break after that initial impact.

i live on valvista and guad, thats fffffffffffucking awesome.
-
Well, perfect. Thanks for helping me out on the name.
-
Yes they said the lighting is going to be adjustable, and if I remember correctly they said something about fog machines. But I'm not 100% sure on that.

iirc that rumor was about dp.
-
either way, im going to be practically living there.
regrettably i need a new cqc rig now ;___; i traded my old weapon away, i wonder what i should get...
my ak74 might be appropriate, with its folding stock and such. a machine-pistol or SMG would be ideal though

I have a feeling I'll be buying a cqc setup soon here too. lol. :twisted:

Can your eye protection REALLY handle 6-10 rounds at near point blank?
Yes, and if yours cant, you shouldn't be playing airsoft with it.
Yes mine can, however my point is have you tested your rig and safety gear to make sure it will stand up? Will your removable lense shift in the goggle frame? Will your shemagh really offer any protection? That's what I meant. Gear needs to be PERSONALLY tested, and beyond just your eye protection.
And definitely the best CQB weapon in my eyes is the short AK74. It's solid enough to take some of the banging around that comes with CQB, but yet it's comfortable enough to be used for long periods of time without the stock.
-
I cant wait for this place to open up, it will be perfect for my new G36c :D/

I've tested my gear out personally and can say i have no issue relying on my gear. You may be right though. Every one should test their gear just like every one should be shoot with their own gun before they are allowed to use it on any one. That way it prevents some one doing something stupid because they know how it will feel. Every gun I've ever owned I've been shot with before i shoot any one.
-
The only thing that irks me is that games will be reffed. IMO, that's for paintball.
But that's Vanguard's choice.
-
I'm pretty sure full face mask is required. And that does not mean a shemagh pulled up over your face.
-
Yes they said the lighting is going to be adjustable, and if I remember correctly they said something about fog machines. But I'm not 100% sure on that.
I'm not sure, but I think that was a CQB AZ rumor.

iirc that's what Brian jr. of Vanguard told me.

so... everybody has heard this about cqbaz, dp, and vanguard. nifty.

I don't really agree with reffing either :|
but I guess it doesn't really matter, I'm still stoked to have somewhere legit to play that doesn't involve driving for an hour -___-

I fully support having games reffed.
Although the game is a game of honor, Some people do cheat. Honestly, I don't see why anyone would a problem with it if they play a fair game.

Refs aren't going to stop cheating IMO. They discourage it yes, but honestly the guys who want to cheat are going to. Period.
I do like the level of involvement it seems like they are going to be taking though!
-
Involvement is good.
Refs are like locks... they keep honest people honest.

I agree Mr. Axisofoil. You seem like a smart chap... lol. I dont know...
Any ways, refs are a good thing. Makes it hard for cheaters to cheat and in turn makes it not so much fun for cheaters.
-

:o oh man, i said the EXACT same thing in that thread created regarding a stolen rifle... locks are most definitely for honest people.
now that i think about it, it would be nice to watch someone get busted for not calling hits :twisted:
-
I find it funny that this place hasn't even opened it's doors and people are complaining about rules that may or may not even be written. IF it opens I'll check it out and follow the rules they inforce for their facility. My experiance has been that indoor arena's don't hang around very long. I do wish the owners the best of luck and appreciate anyone who invests in our hobby.
-
Speaking of which, is AZCQB still out of business? I heard they were relocating, but that is all the info I have received in some time.
-
OMFG I live on Recker and Guadalupe and I CANNOT wait for this. I have always wanted a CQB place that wasn't hella far away! I've seen the facility but was like "whaaaaaaat???" but wholy crap. I have a feeling I'll be keeping my G36C and 2,500 drum mag :twisted: It shoots like 320 with .20's as well as about 18-19 rounds per second. I'm so stoked for this! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
-
Speaking of which, is AZCQB still out of business? I heard they were relocating, but that is all the info I have received in some time.
Yes they are supposedly relocating, but they have become totally unreliable. The site says they are relocating and to email them if you have any questions.... They do not respond and who knows how long it has been since they have actually updated the site. Right now, I do not believe they will re-open. Just my opinion.

The guy that runs CQBAZ named Justin is a idiot because he has never returned my complete Gearbox lower receiver for my Echo 1 G36C and I don't have his number.

im really stoked about this. im glad theres finally an indoors place for east valley airsofters. itl be good to be able to play games indoors rather than the blistering heat of our wonderful desert and not have to make day trips to go up north.

it was sarcasm..?
-
It was supposed to be sarcasm?
Honestly it's a pleasant day dream and no more, however there are times when a person can be hit, and not know it. With the amount of gear carried, I know that I have been guilty of not feeling a hit when my mags get hit and similar. There are legitimate reasons to call another persons hits, even if I don't like it.
-
the good thing about CQB is that theres usually not that much room, so you know when your hit.. either you feel it, or see the person shooting you
compared to playing in a field with a good 70 or 80 feet between you and your target...

Yes sarcasm, i originated the quick-rope thing and it was sarcasm. ANYWAY, ABOUT THE ORIGINAL POST, this place is gonna be SICK
Yes, lets have a firing line for that, how civilized...
-
very sick... i kind of want my mac11 now >___>
oh well, ill come up with a unique new CQB setup soon :P
-
Wow, that's about 2 miles from me. I might actually go check it out.
-BATMAN
-
since its literally right down the street from me, i'll most likely be there every weekend O__O
im dying to know what the pricing will be.
-
hmmm.... a bit far from me, but worth the trip maybe once a week. hopefully pricing will be cheap enough to afford my 32 mile round trip gas bill (shy of 13mpg with my jeep haha). you guys looking for people to work by chance? lol. if so, you offer gas reimbursement for workers, or even just players coming up? haha jk
EDIT: totally just realized this... it farther away from me than my girlfriend is, and she is way far south of where i live! haha
-
I live just south of it, took a look inside the building they are using. Its deferentially a decent size. Cant wait to get into some games. Now I need a CQB weapon :D
-
I don't really agree with reffing either :|
but I guess it doesn't really matter, I'm still stoked to have somewhere legit to play that doesn't involve driving for an hour -___-
for real...and a place i can get to with my car...lol

-
^^^lol^^^ ya...lil off but hell ya new CQB Arena!!! =D>

NEW INFO!
The scheduled opening date will be 1st of July. It will be 14,000 Square Feet. The way it will look inside will be like a street. It will have buildings(One will be called "Brys", Get it? "Frys,Brys"......Fun.), so it will be easy to call where enemies are.
In case you were wondering the paintball field will be 4,000 Square Feet.

soooo sweet!!! what kinda cost we looking at?
-
cost would be nice.
maybe if there was a pass, or a membership program? hmm
this is exciting...
-
Price would be nice, and memberships would be even better. Hopefully they will be open till about 2100 or 2200 because I typically get out of work around 1900. Also, I wonder if they would offer renting the place out for parties, etc., so I could probably hold team building events for work etc.. I know lots of guys who would totally be into this.
-
The problem for finding out the cost and if you could rent guns and all kind of stuff like that is, that my Dad is only associated with the guy who leased the building. Not the owner of actual Vangaurd. I have asked my Dad to talk to his friend and ask the owner to give him some info, but I can't promise anything.
-
As of right now they are still working out pricing, so if you hear anything not told to you by an Vanguard employee, it's probably just a rumor.

we shall await your update, ocean :lol:

Thank you

:-({|=
back to the original content of the thread, i'm really interested to see the layout of the arena
-
I can not wait for this, I'm going to buy a new gun for this because mine is way too strong :twisted:

I just ordered a AA12
jk i wish
I'ma buy a shooty gun
-
Well I will only say that over half of the stuff stated in here is false. Steelworks had a meeting with Brian from Vanguard today and all I can say is this place is going to be awesome.

there's your teaser
-
I just creamed a lil...
-
yeah, i had to change pants when i got back from the meeting
-
Holy Shit. That looks great.
-
I just creamed......
-
Just know guys this place is going to be extremely legit, and Vanguard is working to make this one of the best CQB's
-
Hope so, I played at CQBAZ and couldnt get over how many corners were in such a small area! and wearing a full kit a big guy would have had issues.
-
i agree with soap, i'd go as far to say that this WILL be the best place for CQB in arizona..
-
I would definitely drive from Yuma to get some good CQB action in a nice arena like that. Other airsofters here would too. I wonder what admission will be?
-
Its looking good. Can't wait to see the finished
-
:shock: (messes pants in several ways) this is gonna be sick. :twisted:
-
wow that looks pretty intense. Is this going to be a multi level or just single level with tons of rooms?
-
There there going to be 3 sniper towers and over 30 room and cross streets also discount membership for the year..... guys it looks sweet ass all hell can't wait.
-
:shock:
Gotta change pants again brb
-
So i went to vanguard today, so ill share info.
The place looks fantastic, almost ALL the walls are up.
The fps system will work like this:
green izp tie- under 320fps ish
yellow- inder 350
red- over 350
"green" game will have only guns fitting green zips, "yellow" game is yellow and green sips, etc.
-
Thats awsome! I cant wait for that to open thanks for the info.

No s***! Sounds like I might keep my 110 spring in my gun for here... :twisted:
-
Yeah, i asked how it was gonna work and thats what i was told! :D glad to help
-
Did they happen to say when it will open? I was told Mid-Late July.
-
Thats when it sounds like it will open, late july
It looks frikkin awesome now! so i hope sooner than that
-
Ya, me to. Thanks.

What?? So If I roll in with a hot gun shooting 450fps and get a red zip tie I can play in only Red games or I'm good to play against anybody with a green or yellow zip tie?
I don't see why they don't just set a limit and make sure people chrono under the limit like any other place? Changing a spring isn't that big of a deal.

well, it's going to work somewhat like this;
on a game by game basis, there will be a survey taken of who is using what velocity weapons, the game(s) following will be like this..
if there are a majority of players using green-tier weapons, only green will be allowed
if there are a majority of players using yellow-tier weapons, green AND yellow will be allowed
later in the night, more adults come out and there could possibly be a majority of red-tier weapons.. if so, red, green and yellow would be allowed on the field
that is what i gathered when we met with the staff..however the actual procedure might deviate from what i have written. i hope it answers your question! i personally wouldn't mind playing with all red-tier weapons
-
I definitely wouldn't mind playing with all red-tier weapons too. IMO as long as everybody playing is fine with getting shot by high power guns (within reason), then they should be allowed for use.
-
I can't wait for this! Getting a bunch of stuff to be ready for the first day!
-
Heard about this place. Can't wait! Interesting color system...though I think anything over 350 fps from 2 feet away in a CQB evironment like that is a bit overkill....
-

It's super overkill..
I can't understand why there just isn't a single FPS limit like what is used at other CQB fields and outdoor games for that matter?
Last time I checked you could buy a velocity reducer for $20 which is around the same as a new spring.
I'm not sure I want to get shot in the neck from 3 feet away at a corner by a 400fps gun. I've been shot at 320 in the neck from 10 feet away at CQBaz and let me tell you it sucks.
Oh well should be interesting...
-
if i remember correctly, the safety requirements are going to be very stringent.. and keep in mind guys - this a new venture of sorts for vanguard, so they are feeling everything out still
who knows, there is no guarantee that they aren't going to decide on a single velocity limit once the time comes.. most of this is speculation :D
-
This sounds great, but I was told somewhere around July 1st....now don't quote me on it, but thats what I was told.

However much I agree with you, about it being there first venture, that is exactly why you need to have your s#it together and figure it out well in advance.
I would NEVER drop that kind of money on something without having it ALL planned out before I raised my first wall. To be quite honest if I wanted airsofters to come and play I would have said “ Hello air soft community we are _________ and we are opening a new facility. We are planning for it to be_______ and the rules are as follows_________.
Now how hard was that? All we have now is a LOT of hearsay and speculation. You already have people saying that they will NOT go because of _________. NO one knows and that is bad for business. Will you still get people yes. But will you still get the most people that you could have with just a bit of communication? NO.
We are already speculating (or have been for the last few months) on FPS. If it IS over 330 I won’t go. I got the bone in my knuckle BROKEN from 15 feet away from a guy shooting 330. Anything higher is just a law suit waiting to happen. Yes they will have you sign a waiver but they aren’t worth the paper they were written on. This just doesn’t sound like smart business to me.
I hope they open and it’s everything everyone wants and more. I hope they do a great business and make tons of money but with NO communication and everyone saying “ well I heard this and I heard that” all you are doing is hurting the business before they even open the doors. If you want to help them out you need to tell them to get on the forums and start talking to the people that are going to pay the bills and keep the lights on for them, the airsofting community.
Even CQBAZ had the word out BEFORE they opened the doors. They had the rules and prices posted before the BETA night. I’m not saying that they are them but since they aren’t around anymore they really need to see what they did right and what they did wrong. Or they could be gone in less than a year as well. Worse yet they will open it to paint ballers….
End of rant! (Gets off soap box)
-
@bigwavedave A velocity reducer?? Never seen/heard of such a thing O.o.... but yeah I think they should just make a flat limit of 330 or max 350. 400 fps in the neck from 3 feet away I would imagine to be QUITE painful, as well as rather bloody and possibly even hospitalizing? >< I suppose it's still all speculation for now, so we'll see how things turn out. If they're gonna allow guns that hot in there though, I might have to rethink going....

Muzzle reducer Think of a mouse pad cut into into a X where the BB contacts right in the middle once it contacts it take some of the speed out of the BB thus reducing the FPS. Its not really worth the money to buy one cause once a host see's it he knows that your gun is hot and is going to not let people play. besides if i really wanted to i would chrono with it on then secretly take it off. so its kinda pointless. In my honest opinion
And you think the neck hurts at that range. Try getting it in the bridge of your nose at that speed. Drew blood and looked like i went ten rounds with tyson for a week

oldgamefreak - you hit the nail right on the head ...and split the wood
i mean..this thread wasn't even made by the owners, or any of the staff.. it was created as a result of speculation/rumor. we should all sit tight and wait for the owner/reps to give the forum some solid information from their own account :mrgreen:
-
@Pick Yeah I agree with you about the velocity reducer thing. I've never even seen one for sale anywhere local or online before anyways.
Also, ouch dude O.O....that's some harsh pain right there ><. Playing it safe ftw! Haha
-
The best thing to do get a gun that shots 350 fps, make it simple that way u play or rent a gun........

Tokyo Marui Velocity Reducer. These are available at Gearbox.

Nice Idea, Just get a velocity reducer! Thanks bigwavedave!

Nice Idea, Just get a velocity reducer! Thanks bigwavedave!
I would wait and see what their rules are first and most games I know they are frowned on because they can be taken off and people can play with their real fps
-
Heard about this place. Can't wait! Interesting color system...though I think anything over 350 fps from 2 feet away in a CQB evironment like that is a bit overkill....
It's super overkill..
I can't understand why there just isn't a single FPS limit like what is used at other CQB fields and outdoor games for that matter?
Last time I checked you could buy a velocity reducer for $20 which is around the same as a new spring.
I'm not sure I want to get shot in the neck from 3 feet away at a corner by a 400fps gun. I've been shot at 320 in the neck from 10 feet away at CQBaz and let me tell you it sucks.
Oh well should be interesting...
yeah so a concept people NEVER USE is the "bang" concept. If i sneak up on somone where i could shoot them in the neck (thats a douchey move in the first place if he shot you there, that really sucks) but you say "bang" not shoot them. way better.
-
Yeah the bang concept is nice if people accept it I've done the bang on people only to have them turn around and light you up
-
If I sneak up on someone, I try to shoot them in the most padded area. Just like pick said bang doesn't always work in your favor!
-

put the tip of your barrel against the back of their vest and say bang. if they have time to turn around and shoot you before you pull the trigger, you should find a new hobby ;)
it would be cool if everyone employed safety-kills, but the world isn't perfect
-
Why oldgamefreak did you play airsoft without a hard knuckle glove on ie Oakley Assult gloves? I never play without gloves!

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the assualt gloves with hard tops cover that joint?

This is true. I just shoot the padded back as well if the people i'm playing with are too "I only play military" but whatever get people out with and they are cool with is what i do. LIKE NOT CALLING SHOTS
-
Vanguard looks awesome!!!
-
is there any date set yet for opening day???
-
On the subject of the 'bang' idea, it works great for fields (me and my friends use it when we airsoft), but in a cqc place like that, you're pretty much always within 5 feet of someone, so it wouldn't really work. The whole game would turn into a bunch of people trying to shout bang first. :P
-
there plan is to "have it open by August 1st"
i emailed the admin and thats what he told me.
-

-

cool thank you
-
Ya guys from what I hear August 1st is the date. Also another cool thing is the Swat Team had no where to train so they made a deal to train at Vanguard. Now this could be a cool thing, but it also might interfere with out time. I think its cool.

just gives airsoft some more creditbility :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
-
Sweet that gives me just enough time to get the shotty in full working order.
-
this is perfect, i can order my new G4!
-
can you guys name all of the playing fields that are available and maybe some opening in the future
-
There is another thread for that, or you could use the handy search button?
-
hold up so, is this place up in mesa?
-
hold up so, is this place up in mesa?
Well yes. But no its in gilbert which is like a 10 minute drive
-
awesome, as long as I can still play while attending ASU then I'm happy :mrgreen:
-
Bad news. supposedly they wont be open for a few more weeks (2-3 more weeks)
-
Good news actually, I'll have my POR setup hopefully by then so I can rock opening day.

i just got my utg trishot shotgun so ill have time to get more shells for it :mrgreen:
-
Gotta sell my guns to get new stuff.
-
They should be open 2nd week is Aug
-
They should be open 2nd week is Aug
I am hoping so. but still, that gives me time to get more shotgun shells fore me shotty XD im thinking my shotgun will have its niche there and be a worthy adversary for AEG's

if you can pump it fast enough to counteract the pray and spray most people will be utilizing during battle :roll:

I'm going to win every game with just my P226. But then again I'll be carrying 5 mags... :lol:

I'm pumped. I hope Vanguard gets the Opening Day info on their website soon.
It's a 60mi. round trip from here to the indoor field, but if it's as cool as I expect, I'll be there at least once a week, work permitting ;)
Chip
-
Yeah that thing they call work sucks
-
It's about a 6 mile round trip for me.
-
Its about 55 round trip for me
-
only like 2 for me ;)

pray and spray? (thought it was spray and pray)
doesn't matter
anywho, i'll most likely be getting a g11 as a sidearm or something as well so yeh :mrgreen:
and its about a 8 mile round trip for me!
-
Well, maybe having to buy the field's ammo will cut the spray and pray some. 'Sides, outside of occasional cover fire, it's a better game and tactics to pick your target and aim your shots.
I like games with limited ammo myself, but defeating campers with a six-zillion round mag is always possible, given the situation.
Chip
-
lol.. under 1 mile round trip for me ;)

Yeah. I like the no hi caps rule and limited ammo. at least my shotgun will for sure do well with zombies!
-
So what's the new opening date supposed to be for the arena?
-
-I'm gonna have a problem if there's a no-hicap rule. My UMG has just a hicap. However, with limited ammo (100rd to start), I hope they let me play with it.
Just having a hicap mag doesn't mean filling the thing.
See ya on the field,
Chip

a problem your going to have with a highcap is that if there is a 100 rd rule, most of those rounds are going to be impossible to use due to the charachteristics of a highcap... especially with a umg mag
-
Wait so....no hicaps at all? I only have 1 70rd midcap for my M4 ><....My other 3 mags are hicaps. Though I do wanna get some more midcaps anyways, that's more money I gotta spend sooner lol. No chance anyone want's to trade me 2 full metal 300rd hicaps for 2 full metal 160rd midcaps? :P

This is like the tellephone game
There IS NOT a rule on mag capacities yet, so dont worry :)
If you only have 1 hi cap maybe consider buying more mags?
-
Why not just Invest in midcaps anyway? Airsoft would is way more enjoyable when everyone uses them. A couple people just unloading hi caps take away the strategic part of the game.
-
I agree. My UMG came to me used w/ three something-like-500rd hicaps. I'll see if I can scrounge some lowcaps before the game, that or use the pistol.
Chip
-

And besides everyone knows mid combat reloading is thrilling and that annoying *SHK SHK SHK SHK SHK SHK* of hi caps when you move gets annoying after a while and gives away your position
-
I went and talked to an employee there and he said there is no rule for magazine capacity. They don't care if it's a normal high cap, mid cap, standard, or drum mag. As long as you use their ammo then it doesn't matter what magazine you put it in.
-
i cant wait til this place opens...gives me a good chance to use my mp5k... :twisted: :twisted:

Yeah i dunno who thought there was a no hi cap rule, we was just talking about how its annoying when people spray and pray with their 500 round mags and how it takes away some of the tactfulness
-
When is the ACTUAL opening date?!
-
Yeah really? It keeps changing.

In my honest opinion having hicaps doesnt really matter theres pros and cons for the different magazine types. Based on the pictures I've seen, If you camp in a CQC area you're most likely be flanked. Having experience at diff cqb arenas in CA gives me this view. Understandable that hi cap users will spray and pray but that doesnt mean you wont have a fighting chance. If all odds against you and you succeed then you increase your skill in this tactical situation. Having non winding mags benefit by making your movement quiet and an advantage while flanking. But seriously having a lot of people playing bbs will always fly hicap or not.
I've played cqb arenas from Philppines, Hong Kong, and California. Simple babble pros use mid caps amateurs use whatever. Perfectly fine as long as you play with integrity and as a gentleman it'll be worth the experience.
-
Everyonce in awhile I'm going to use a gold AK with a drum mag so everyone thinks I'm a CODkiddy.
-
Hahahaha I like that idea Armalite... Only if the drum mag is gold too though... And what's the real point of mid-cap mags?? People don't save any more ammo in my opinion, they just carry 20 of them around instead of 1 hahaha.
-
And I'm young, so I guarantee it will happen. I posted a wanted ad on ASF for one, just need to get it and some gold paint. But I'm also getting my P226 so after people are done making fun of me I'll play with that.
-
NO. Do not get it painted. That is retarded... Gotta get real gold. Lol evike.com
Does anyone seriously know when it will open though? Still no answer on that...
-
YES. I WILL. Check this out, done with paint. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm10 ... 010036.jpg (http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm109/lukerichard/P1010036.jpg)
Also I don't want to spend more than $100 on this. I'm only paying $60 for the gun and however much for paint.
-
Not this weekend but next weekend
-
Alright thanks Solerin. Is that the goal or the actual opening date??
-
new website is up
http://www.vipairsoft.net/ (http://www.vipairsoft.net/)
-
Oh hell yeah. Thanks for the link!
-
Damnit thats the same weekend as Op Hornets nets ](*,)
Decent website lets hope they put some chrono rules up soon. I also heard rumors that they are going to allow rubber paintballs and airsofters to play at the same time= SUPERLAME, but this is just a rumor unless somebody knows for sure.
BTW .. the whole full auto thing for CQB is really pointless and therefore you don't really need a high cap magazine.
Most all the games played at CQBaz were semi only.
-
you can see the chrono rules here http://vipairsoft.net/waiver/VIP_Waiver1.pdf (http://vipairsoft.net/waiver/VIP_Waiver1.pdf) bottom of second page
-
Is it just me or is $20 for 4 hours super over priced?
-
I think it's fair. You'll pay $9.50 for a 2 hour movie so why not $20 for 4 hours of awesome cqb airsoft?
-
Oooh. I don't like that..
-
$20 is a lot of money but you also have to look at it from the business standpoint. They aren't open many hours of the week at all and they still have to pay full rent. So they probably won't be making money off this CQB place for a while. They also offer a membership for the year if you plan on going a lot. The membership is kind of high priced too though in my opinion lol. But I understand why it is like that.
As for fps limits, the link above says green is 330fps, yellow 350fps, and red 380fps (18yrs. +). I think it would be a lot less complicated if they just made it 330fps max though... How are they going to divide the field for people with 380fps and for people with 330fps? It's a thoughtful idea but I don't think it will stay like that.
-
$20 is fine but if it was all day it would be more reasonable.
-
I agree with armalite. Because they would still make money off the BB's they make you buy.
But that would also cost them more to keep it open that long. And with less hours it means that during those hours there will be more people playing at once than if it were open the entire day.
-
I'll still be going. Probably on Saturdays or sundays. Friday after school wood be sweet.
-
Hell yeah, I can't wait for it to open lol. I'm going to be a senior so I'll probably be there after school a lot. I just hope it opens before the 24th since that's when I start school again. I want to get a taste of it during summer :P
-
i start school next wednesday dangit. if it's open by then and my p226 gets here i'll probably go after school
-
About the fps thing. When I went and talked to one of the guys there he said that the real small games were going to be 380fps while almost all if not all of the bigger games were going to be 330fps.
-
i start school next wednesday dangit. if it's open by then and my p226 gets here i'll probably go after school
I start on Wednesday too. But I will be able to go to some games anyway.
-
You guys are lucky, i started on July 26th
-
Which school? And why the heck would it start that early?
-
Ok i am an employee of V.I.P. so this is not just random speculation.
There is not an official opening day yet because we are still waiting on a few permits/ok's from the city of gilbert, fire department etc. As soon as we have an official opening date i will post it up here.
The new website has been posted so please refer to that. Everything that is posted on the new website vipairsoft.net is current. Everything else you guys have questions on, where the answers are not posted on the website, are still in the works and are not finalized yet so please hold tight.
Once everything is finalized i will post up rules/ opening date etc. up here and i will be able to answer your guys' questions.
If you have any suggestions or questions please pm me!
Thanks
Chris
-
Hi Chris, thanks for getting on here with the straight skinny.
Your website type color is too pale to see. I'm hoping to play there around six times a month. Saturdays and Sundays. Hopefully there'll be a core group of players at those times to make for a decent game.
Good luck with the field.
Chip
-
Place seems sweet. New website is awesome, though it'll be a lot more awesome once the other half of it is done being finalized :P. $20 for 4 hours equates to $5 an hour....pricey to say the least, in my opinion. Of course, I still wanna go at least once to see how I like it, but if I do end up liking it, that's gonna be a problematic continuing expense ><. I'd consider membership if it dropped the price dramatically, but you only get like $5 off admission with it, so eh. I still vote for a dedicated airsoft store and field in the Scottsdale area X). Hey, people there have money, so you'd think it would do well! Lol anyways, I'm sure Vanguard will be fun ^^.
-
Pricey? Yes. But they went all out on this field, so it should be worth it.
That's just about the same price for a game at Marauders, Fightertown, or Cow Town. But this is indoors, and is a lot closer for most people. You have to estimate the cost of gas into this equation also. Round trip to any of the places listed above is no 5 minute car ride down the street like Vanguard is, especially when we usaually go in either my brothers car (15 mpg on the highway) or worse, my truck (12 mpg on the highway). That's just the way I look at it. Sometimes we get lucky and can catch a ride with Chris ^^ and get some ridiculous gas mileage on the highway. The fact that it is 4 miles down the road is a big plus for me. I can drive my diesel whore down there for almost nothing, and have longer sustained game time because we are not being affected by the heat in the summer and cold in the winter. To me, this is one way to justify the price.
Don't get me wrong though, I love all the outdoor places too and I will still frequent them as well.
-
so if you bought the house bbs and you still have some extra can you use them next time you go?
-
More likey no u have to buy bb everytime. just for the fact it hard to tell what gram they are
-
Reguardless of price i'm gunna be a faithful gamer here more likely than not
-
And i think "Vanguard Indoor Playground" sounds amazing hahahaha :mrgreen:
-
All this is wonderful news to me. I do agree $20 for 4 hours is way over priced, depending on their hours I plan to stay for at least 6-8 or even more. I really don't and wasn't planning on spending $40 to play for the day.
-

I do agree, it hurt a little inside when i heard 20 for 4 hours. Marauders' Statewide assault arena was 20 for 8 hours, but still Vanguard DID go all out and it should be incredible. But still... 20... 4 hours... :lol:
-
Well seeing the Maradures game at Vangaurd doesnt look to over priced anymore haha
-
I really like CQB indoors. From the 80's-on, I've played at several indoor Paintball and Airsoft places, here, Tucson, and Las Vegas. ALL went belly-up inside of a year's time.
Vanguard's taking a big leap here. -The trick is to get a steady flow of regular players. Nothing sucks more from our side of this than to travel many miles to play there, only to find two or three opponents. They have a big electric bill as well as monthly square-foot lease fee and salaries for the employees. -Add in insurance, etc.. It's a Hard Dollar.
I love this kind of game enough that I plan to be there at least three weekends a month. I would hope that there's a core group of players that can decide on a day and time to all get together and rock out. My work leaves me free on any Sunday and every other Saturday.
Believe me, 20 bucks a session plus 10 extra for another is a good deal. It's a bottom-line price for something like this to stay in business.
Chip
-
Chip has a damn good point. I don't think anyone could really argue against that haha.
-
it seems to me when ever theres a price to be set for a arena people always want to complain about the pricing...if you want to play a free game drive out to the desert and have some fun....but for a place of this nature to be where its at, its ganna cost money so they can make a profit...if you feel thats not fair and that they are capitalistic bastards than theres no need to play there...i can wait till this place opens up so i can play a real legitimate field!!! =D> =D> =D>

I agree, and i'm not necessarily complaining. I understand they need to make a profit, but $20 for 4 hours.....That's over the top, I wouldn't mind the $20 for 8 hours. That makes more sense. Whether or not they are expensive, I will still go and will go religiously due to me loving the game. If you love the game, you need to make a sacrifice to enjoy it.
-
That's the spirit Ocean. -Go a few times and see how intense it is! A good game with 20-or-so players dukin' it out in a big maze will leave you sweating. A few hours of it is satisfying to many people.
Also, think of the gas you save (especially the East-Siders)..
Anyway, try it and see if in-your-face gunbattles are your thing, too :twisted:
Chip
-
I was just on vanguards facebook and saw they posted this, "Vanguard Paintball & Airsoft We are OFFICIALLY opening VIP AIRSOFT this Saturday - August 14th 2010 - See YOU on the FIELD!!! Go to http://www.VIPAirsoft.net (http://www.VIPAirsoft.net)"
-
Saving gas is a big thing for me. I'm lucky enough to be about 300 yards from this place.
Hope to see a bunch of you guys out there.
-
Who's gonna be there? I'll probably go
-
Everybody, can't wait for it to open.
-
20 dollars per session and in house bb's required god damn i dont think ill be going there very often if at all unless they bring the price down
-
Well you could email them and ask why the prices are so high?
-
That's easy
1. Profit they have to make money somehow
2. High insurance rates my guess
-
That's easy

Yeah most likely.
-
Can everyone stop whinning about the prices? I mean its a business and like everyone else has said its a business that needs to make a profit, simple economics. Anyways Im stoked for this place to open and its going to be way better than CQB AZ.
-
Hey i wasn't whining about the prices. I was simply stating a point
-
Oh, Yeah when I went to play at CQBAZ in the old days when they were open it was $20 to play along with 1000rds of .20 gram bb's
-
ok everybody this saturday Vip playground will be open there doors for business................
-
Awesome can't wait to check it out after OP: Hornet's Nest.
-
i might be driving down from colorado to come play, i regret that i'm missing our team's sneak peek though.. i'll be there in spirit!
edit: for everyone who is bitching about prices; you are getting what you pay for.. have you seen this place yet??
get a job, learn to budget, and stop complaining... if you can pay more then $20 to play MTT-hosted games (that is not a dig against MTT in any way, shape, or form..), you should have no problem paying $20 to play at a brand new climate controlled venue..
it's been said before, but.. other fields are at least an hour away from the east valley, and charge $10-$15 or even more depending on the event.. you are saving money with vanguard, depending on where you live, and what you drive.. plus the climate control! come on guys.. think logically

wait til u people really see how awsome of a place this really is...words cant explain...think laserquest but way bigger and way better!!!
-
Yes your right CQBAZ was WELL priced $20 dollars got you to play all day and a 1000 bbs to start off with. Not to be a dick or anything but the last time I checked they were no longer in business either. For this business to attempt stay in business for more then a year there going to have to be profitable. $25 dollars to play a 4 hr block including 1000 bbs to start isn't that bad!! The only concern that I do have is Vanguard hasn't even posted up there house rules or exactly how they are going to be running the FPS caps. Are they going to divide the field for the lower FPS to play at the same time as the higher FPS guys. Are the higher FPS guys going to have to sit out a few games to let the lower FPS guys play? If so then yes depending on the length of the games you might have something to complain about.
I am stoked they are opening this weekend, I will definitely be going! however I still have my concerns as most of you probably do as well but cost is not one of them!
*steps off soap box* :)
-
I've gotta work this Saturday, but I'm open anytime Sunday to play.
If anyone is going this Sunday, post up and we can get a good bunch to play together. -Just pick a session or three.

Well, I'mplanning to be there this SUNDAY for the midday and afternoon sessions (12NOON-4, AND 4-8PM). I'm just posting this in case anyone need's a time that another player will be there -See what I'm getting at?
This is the trick to keep from showing up only to find everyone's playing another time. :x ..
Hope to see you there.
Chip
-
ill be there saturday morning and mid day
-
I got my P226 so I'll be rocking it saturday. All I have is my old chestrig meant for M4's to hold my 3 extra mags though..
-
I'm glad to see so many people are excited about this. I also plan (Key word) to be there Saturday from around 3-8(Or when ever they close). I'm really excited about this, and hope to see this be a very successful place for gamers all around Arizona to go to.
For the people going, I hope once you get home you get on the computer and tell everyone about your experience. Pros and Cons. I'm sure people who haven't gone yet would love to know what it's like over there.
-
I'll probably be there Sunday instead, depends. I'm pretty sure only people on this forum will know about opening day, there will be some noobs but it will mostly be us I think. We could all get together and put screen names with faces.
-
Well just played there with a few people. We were there for a preview and to help them train the staff. Field is fucking amazing. Top notch. You could tell they were getting used to running airsoft games, but by the end of the night they worked out most of the kinks. Brian and the staff are very accomadating and I can't wait to play there on a regular basis.
On another note, Steelworks who is "sponsored" by vanguard was supposed to be there, and we didn't see any of them...
But anyways, just glad to get the exclusive sneak peek. You can all be jealous now.

Yea it was nice playing with you guys. I was the guy with Marpat by the way. The field is amazing, but personally after playing tonight I can see it will be very confusing when a lot of people are playing. We played games with 5 on 5, 6 on 6 maybe, but most of them were smaller games and it was still a bit confusing trying to tell who was on what team. I personally like the semi auto game in the beginning. I didn't like the full auto as there were too many richochets. The field is a good field but the guys who I play with have a rule where we call eachother out within 15 ft and that's all I could think about when playing there so I was a little hesitant on shooting at that close.
You could tell the staff wasn't used to running airsoft games, but as the night went on they worked everything out. The staff is pretty lucky to have bright shirts or they would have gotten shot a lot. The staff is trying to figure out a way to tell what team is which. I was shot by teammates at least twice. If they don't figure out by the weekend and you have any ideas, I'm sure they will listen. We gave them ideas like tape on the arm, different color masks, camo vs non-camo, and a few others. Can't remember them all.
I plan on going there when there isn't a lot of people, so on weekdays. I had fun tonight even though I know I won't like CQB as much as field play. And where was steelworks? I know a few of us wanted to play them.
-
thursday? nobody told us that or we would have show up.
-
Is Vanguard opening this Friday ?? :D!!
-
edit: refer to mikes post below
-
On behalf of SteelWorks, we had our sneak peak Wednesday and VIP was aware we could not make it out on Thursday due to other obligations. We did attempt to reschedule due to the fact the date was on such short notice, but it did not work out in our favor. We would have loved to have been there playing with you guys that did make it.
-
Sorry we didn't make it guys, Like Mike said we got the tour on wednesday and we as a group couldn't make thursday night. I will be there on saturday after 1 for the Grand Opening! Ill be in MC with the Steelworks patchs
-
I'm for sure going to be there at 10am, I'll be wearing all black and looking like a swat team dude. I'll have to rent a gun since all i got is my shotgun and 7 shells, but i'm sure i'll fare well and i hope to hell we have a zombie game or two!
-
I'll be there sat 10am with a for sure +1 maybe a +3. See you then!
-
Nooooooooo!! I won't be able to make it on Saturday because I have to take a driving class for the ticket I got. Ahhhhh :((((
-
For those that do not know ( I don't see how you couldn't :lol: ) VIP will be opening it doors tomorrow Saturday August 14, 2010 @ 10am.... See you there!
-
It going to be fun indoors and not outside in the heat
-
Does anyone know the hours? I know it starts at 10 but when does it close?

everything you need is here :mrgreen:
-
Steelworks doesn't need to apologize. Everybody that went last night was under the assumption that you guys were showing up. A few of us were just looking forward to playing you all.
Again this field is nice. I didn't shoot more than 100 rounds because everybody I "killed", I just went behind them and called them out. Pistols will work really well in this field as it's pretty much a giant killhouse. I might go Saturday to check it out and get some video maybe, but it all depends on if work needs me.
-
i might be able to make it but only after i do some small work saturday morning...ill beable to get those tires too and bring em down after if the team will still be there...shouldnt take me more than hour an half hopfully...nock on wood... ](*,) haha
-
I'm for sure going Sunday guys! Here is question that I can't find on the site....Is it Single or Auto?
-
I'll be there sunday too. After the first session.
-
I'm for sure going Sunday guys! Here is question that I can't find on the site....Is it Single or Auto?
When we played, the first game was semi auto and the rest were full auto.
-
Right, well I'll be there tomorrow from 2-6. For sure this time.
-
Oh, -The heck with Sunday, I'll be there at 10 Sat, get in a couple hours before work.
Anyone wants to say howdy.. -I'll be the older guy in the pink hawaiian shirt ...
BOOYAH!

-
I don't have my molle belt or anything so I'm just wearing my bdu pants and a tshirt for now.
-
I'm going sunday!
-
come on everytime I switch someone decides to go on the day I was gonna.
-
I'm probably gonna go later anyway.
-
Last change, I'll be there in a few minutes..
-
Hey, that place rocks. Went there for a few hours today, and it was run-and-gun fast! The staff are new to airsoft but were helpful and let everyone play hard. (For you young guys, check out the female employees ..nuff' said)..
The maze is built well, and the gunplay is furious. You'll work up a sweat each game just from the intenseness of it. Don't worry about cammies, won't help you anymore than street gear.
Chip
-
that's great to hear chip... around how many players showed up?
i'm very dissapointed that i have to be away for the opening :(
also, what tier ended up having the majority? (as far as fps goes..)
-
From what Chip said, I am really excited to go tommarow.
-
Very nice place. I loved it. The layout never got boring, and it was perfect for the type that like to just bolt from the start, like me. I rocked with my 226, it was so awesome. If you are thinking about it, but you think the price is high, just go and try it out. You will wonder why you were hesitating..
-
What was i saying?
-
Mooncruiser's nick name is chip.
-
..Actually, it's my real name 8)
There were about eight on each side the last game I played today. This joint would be insane fun with around 15+ players on each side. As it was, each match lasted 5, 10 minutes tops. The maze is hard to just "camp" in.. Whoever designed it made sure you could get shot from at least two directions (Sometimes three or four) at any place there. -Gotta keep moving!
It's easy to get turned around in there. I shot the same guy twice in about a minute..-He headed for an exit after I blasted him, got lost and wandered right in front of me again OOPS.
Heh heh..
Okay, I hope we can keep a "Who's coming" roster for each weekend there. Everybody getting together on the same day gives the game a WHOLE new flavor.

today was green tier only, but you guys this place is fricken AMAZING! plenty of places to hide as well as get around that pesky guy shooting down a hall. JUST WATCH FOR friendly FIRE! *cough* chip *cough* LOL
i know i shot a few friendlies (like 2 or 3) :-" but i got shot by friendlies like 6 or 7 times at least. But the field is amazong by all means and no need for cammo! the whole place is bright green red blue and tan so camo wont work unless you have red green blue or tan camo [smilie=armata_pdt_02.gif]
but other than that the snack bar is great and the refs all do their job putting their hide on the line keeping everything ship shape! all in all i give it 5 stars and two welted thumbs up! [smilie=armata_pdt_06.gif]
love always

What's up Austin, this is the kid with the Sig. We need to go again together, for that 1v1 match.
-
By all means this place is AWESOME! The refs did a wonderful job rotating the games as fast as they could as well as switching the games up so it would not be so monotonous. The maze is amazing, like Chip said, Bryan made sure that your butt could get blasted from multiple angles so you best keep moving! I was there from 9am (hanging out until they opened) until 8pm and played hard every round. I am extremely tired, but well worth it and well worth the money spent. To all those at VIP, I tip my hat to you. Phenomenal job. :D

Ohh!! okay. This might get confusing. I'll just let this thread get back on topic now. Enjoy. :)
-
I'll be there tomorrow for sure guys! For the whole day, i'm so excited. I have a question about renting guns. Are they somewhat good and what guns do they have?
-
This place is pretty much the best airsofting I've ever done. I'll probably be doing mostly cqb instead of outdoors now. hahaha by the way it sounds pretty weird when you say, "Bryan made sure that your butt could get blasted from multiple angles." Lol i laughed a bit when i read that.
I recommend this place to anyone though. Reffs are awesome and so are most of the people there.
-
That true I got my ass handed hard more then once lol....
-
im sorry i could not be there.//my job went a little longer than i would have liked...good news i do still have the tires in the side...once i get my truck back from my father i will gather them up an drive em down there for those hall ways
-
Thanks to all who came out on opening day. I hope you all thoroughly enjoyed playing at V.I.P.
It was all-in-all a great first day for what hopes to be the best cqb arena in AZ. Thanks for all the positive comments about us ref's on the field. It was pretty much the first day for all of us ref's and the good comments mean a lot. We try are best out there to keep the games running smoothly and get new games on the field as quickly as possible.
As always for those of you who played this weekend we are always open to suggestions. So if you have any please pm me or talk to someone at the field and we will take any suggestion into consideration.
Once again thanks to everyone who was there on opening day! i hope you all had a great day of airsoft and hope to see you back on the field again!!!
Thanks
Chris
V.I.P. Ref

everyone, let's get a thread started for the weekends at VIP. we can keep tabs on who is going when, that will make it a bit easier to coordinate everything.

The field is awesome I was there for 2 hours ( I was the guy in the tan face mask). The refs explained each game and you always knew what was going on. Games lasted around 7 minutes depending on the responds. The rental guns are full metal echo1 m4s, or mp5s. I used the m4 and it was good. In two hours i used about 200 bbs. My friend and I just gave away the extras. The only problem was telling who was on what team. It wasn't that bad I only was shot by my team mates once. They used caution tape around your arm or played camo vs t-shirts. but you always had to watch what was going on. They switched up the games every time. I played capture the flag, domination, protect a leader, hostage and more. I will definitely go back a lot and if you haven't gone yet you should go.

Nice playing with you today. I was the guy with the darker camo and the two pistols. It was a lot of fun today running around with just pistols. The games were great and the refs did a great job again.
-
I was there today for the whole day, (I was the guy with the 1911 Blowback W/E Gas Pistol who carried the bomb and such). It was a blast.
The rentals were great, they shoot from around 300-320 and worked perfectly fine.
The refs were great, they explained all the games thoroughly. They also made sure everyone was safe and all.
It was very hard to tell which teammates were mine, but all was good.
I can't wait to go again!

What's up Austin, this is the kid with the Sig. We need to go again together, for that 1v1 match.

so i just thought of this...is vip ganna be letting paintball in too or is it a paint free airsoft only facility?
-
^^^^^it is paint free. They might do re-ball but that would only happen if someone rents the place out and wants to do that. According to chrism on the forums.

Went today and it was definetly awesome! Dont think I've ever been shot that many times anywhere before! :lol:
Dont think I've ever shot that many people either though! :mrgreen:
-
I've been 4 or 5 times now hahaha. I don't think I'll be airsofting outdoors much anymore. CQB is better in every way in my opinion. If you can see them, you can hit them. It's also wayyyy faster paced. I also think they use .25g bbs so that's a +. It does get expensive after a week straight of going there but it's been worth it every time!
-
This place does look pretty cool, might go there in the next few weeks, but does anyone know how much rifle rental is? if they have it.
