If you want a top-notch field and you have money to spare you can buy the wood and sandbags and such that you need. BUT, the better thing to do would probably be to find scrap wood and barrels, and anything you find on the side of the road. You might want to bring friends to help build it.

A large backyard, abandoned shack or you could buy a wide lot near your house, this is ideal for a large-scale assault. If you own property (or have permission to use it) with woods this would be good too, as most cover will already be there and you won't have to do as much work. Remember It could be illegal in your area on public land.

So, put a lot of plywood in one area, and you can call it 'the fort'. Have a lot of open area, then call it 'the field'. Make the field distinguishable, so you can communicate effectively.

Question

How much does it cost to make an Airsoft team?

Community Answer

It doesn't cost anything as long as everybody already has Airsoft gear. If nobody has anything it could cost around $500.00 for your team to get started.

The time will vary depending on the person and their experience, but if you have help from your friends, then I would say you can expect the project to take 1-3 days.

Remember, think about what type of games you plan on playing on that field while building it to avoid unnecessary barracks or structures.

You should alert the local police if you plan to play airsoft at any time. If you run into a cop do everything he/she says.

For guns like snipers, stay about 95 feet away, as many snipers shoot 500+ FPS.

If someone is to close and you do not have an extra weapon within the range limit, point your gun at them and yell "bang bang" to "kill" them and avoid injury, sending them back to a spawn point.
