Tactical Airsoft Arena

Tactical Airsoft Arena operates a dedicated airsoft field where players compete using replica firearms that fire 6mm plastic BBs at speeds around 350 fps. Unlike paintball, airsoft runs on an honor system—when you're hit, you call it yourself. Referees monitor gameplay to keep players honest.

Each BB travels at high velocity and can leave welts or bruises similar to paintball. Players are split into red and blue teams using colored armbands, with teams balanced for fair competition. Games typically last 15-20 minutes with 9-minute breaks between rounds.

Game types include: - Team Deathmatch - Domination - Capture the Flag - King of the Hill - Trouble in Terrorist Town - And more

Full-face masks with ear protection are mandatory. Eye protection must be ANSI Z87.1 impact-rated (ski goggles not allowed). Mouth protection requires metal mesh or hard plastic that covers your entire mouth. BBs have a 300 fps velocity limit with 0.25g BBs.

What to wear: - Baggy or loose clothing - Jeans or sweatpants - Long sleeves and hoodie - Gloves

You can bring your own gear as long as it meets arena requirements: semi-auto capable replicas with barrel covers (non-pistols), proper face protection, and colored armbands. If you don't have equipment, rental packages are available with replica, magazines, BBs, mask, chest protector, gloves, and team band.

Admission lets you play from arrival until close—you stay as long as you want.

Private parties are $370 for 3 hours at the Rockville location, plus $10 per rental needed. Minimum age is 10 (7 for Nerf parties). The lobby area includes shelves, benches, tables, chairs, and TVs. You can bring your own food and drinks (no alcohol), or purchase snacks and drinks on-site. Weekday parties available by appointment.
