Best airsoft experience I've had yet! Really friendly staff. Easy to get tickets. It took 5 min to get all the paperwork done. Two of my friends got rentals and the guns were good-quality weapons with tracers and midcaps. The arena was incredible. It was easy to know where you were, and it was a pretty good size, and a really safe structure. The rules are easy to understand. I recommend this place 1000%. Come here if you want the greatest airsoft experience you can get! read more

This place has a friendly staff; the people who works here are courteous. I accidentally bought two tickets for myself and asked if one of them can be canceled. The person who helped me was very nice. He fixed the problem right away. He says that the money will go back to my card in 2-3 days. I'm surprised they had chairs here! Around 10 to 15 years ago, I used to play at Gamepod Combat Zone. At Gamepod, during that time they had no chairs! Had I known this place has chairs, I would not have brought my own foldable chair today, LOL!! The rules are quite fair. Regular guns are capped at 400 fps max. This is quite lenient when considering that other places are capped at 350 fps. Although, I am mainly a gamer and rarely an airsofter, I would come here again whenever I have the time. read more

Book a private group session for son's 16th birthday, and opted for a 2hr airsoft session for 10 people. Once our whole party had arrived and the necessary waivers were signed. Our whole party was taken to the back lounge area and given the entire run down of the 60,000 sq ft facility. And the most important thing emphasized was safety, and if there was an issue with that we could be taken off the course. The whole course was awesome, and during our 2 hr session we were able to play 5 different 20 minute games. The 1st was a 5 v 4 game since we had 9 players, and then the remaining games were mission oriented to include; bomb control, and bomb placement. The CQB City course provided and array of building, vehicles, and obstacles to hid around. And all of our participants had an awesome time. I'd just keep in mind you'll definitely get hot running around, so make sure your water or something to keep your hydrated. And wear the proper clothing, so long sleeves and pants, gloves to protect your hands from pellets. And either bring your own airsoft weapons or extra protection over your clothing. Or you can use the rental options provided by CQB. My girlfriend and her friend didn't get a chance to play this time, as she wanted to get food and drinks for when we were all done. So we'll definitely be back for an adult only game. Overall: Great course, great games, safety was a priority for staff, staff was very professional. Will definitely ve back! read more

Played airsoft yesterday 04122026 at CQB City for the first time and staff are amazing. Playing field is great and referee/staff are always on the move and not just sitting or standing around in thier phones. Highly recommend this place and will be coming back. read more

We went yesterday (Sunday 4/12) as well as a previous Saturday and one other Sunday. Both Sundays were with Paul as lead, and we had a great experience! (I don't remember the Saturdays lead, but he was excellent as well! Clean cut, marine) We're a family of 5 with two of the kids being 10 & almost 13 and they had a blast. Staff is really friendly with the kids making sure everything is okay and people are treating them nicely. All the referees are on top of it, (not just sitting around on their phones) always doing something and making sure people are having a great time & fair! We also previously came for a private party for our son's 18th birthday, and you can rent guns/ammo/masks and they are good quality stuff! We now all have our own things so we don't have to rent them anymore. They also offer pizza/drinks for a small fee for a break too which we took advantage of yesterday! Looking forward to the next time we come! :) read more

My son and his friends had a wonderful birthday party at CQB City. For $450 we were able to have exclusive use of the arena for two hours and all guns, ammo, and masks were included free. That feels like a steal. The experience was great: the arena is set up with tons of cover, rooms, vehicles, drums, etc. and the experience feels very real. The guns are powerful and you certainly feel it when you get hit, but the pain isn't horrible. I do recommend wearing a hoodie sweatshirt, long pants, and gloves. They provide the mask, but you can also bring your own gear. They go through how to use the weapon, safety training, and what to do if there's a problem before you go in. They also organize games like capture the flag, etc. My group of preteen boys had an amazing time and I am looking forward to coming back. read more

CQB City - Boys had a blast! - Airsoft Near Me - Stockton, California

I went on Super Bowl Sunday, it was a ten on ten game nearly every time as everyone else was watching the football game. I have been here many times, but the game master provided the best airsoft gaming experience of my life. 10 stars read more

Never knew this was here until I recently attended my nephews 13th birthday party. What a fun way to spend a birthday? They had a separate room for anyone having a birthday party so you can have cake and gifts, we did that back at home but still a nice touch. Everyone was very helpful and thorough. They briefed us on the rules and instructions. Staff was funny as well, except when they decided that us adults needed to be shot since apparently we were ganging up on all the kids lol. It was all in good fun. The place is completely indoors which was great because it was raining that day. The place is huge and has so many hiding places and fun settings. It was more exhausting and painful than expected but I had such a great time and would highly recommend. read more

Took my boy here for the first time and it went amazing! He had a great time with his friends overall. Good snacks, and the staff was very friendly! Had plenty of good conversation with Comrade, he made it feel like i wasn't just there for my boy Honestly a very pleasant experience! I highly recommend! Will be coming back soon. read more

Now I remember why I didn't like airsoft. Too many cheaters/ dishonest players. I hit a few people and nobody owned to it. I'll stick to paintball from now on. At least you can see the splatter and the ref can see it too. Much fewer cheaters. I won't blame the referee because they can't see where the bb lands. Some use full auto ignoring the rules. Rentals are hit or miss. I stopped on the 3rd game as my rental is not accurate and wouldn't fire at times. Staffs are nice. Decent place. I much prefer outdoors. read more

Unfortunately as I get further and further into airsoft I get less impressed with CQB City. Using only .25g BBs and using FPS instead of Joules is pretty old fashioned at this point in airsoft. You get a .4j bonus just for using an AEG instead of HPA. I Don't know who told these guys that HPA hits harder somehow, but a .25g BB traveling at 400 fps is 1.8 joules, whether the cylinder was filled with an air tank or an air compressor inside your blaster. It's a bummer, because the staff is good and the arena is fun. But failure to adapt and weird rules have pushed me to other fields. read more

Fun place for a birthday party for older kids, teens or adults, or a mix like we had. We booked a two hour 10 year old birthday party, and it took almost 45 min for the guy to go over all the rules and details. Have everyone get there a half hour early so you can have your full time for the games. You will get shot with pellets and everyone had little pellet shot wounds. I suggest gloves as many were on the hands. We brought donuts and water and Gatorade zero for everyone and that worked great. The biggest complaint is the bathroom situation. There are only a couple of poorly maintained, really awful porta potties outside. No place to wash hands, so bring sanitizer and baby wipes, especially if you bring cake or food. Otherwise everyone had a really fun time. The adults had as much fun as the kids. For those not wanting to participate there are tables to hang out. There are a couple viewing windows, but not really where they are shooting. They really need cameras and big screen TVs for the non gaming area. read more

CQB City - Good vibes and fun times - Airsoft Near Me - Stockton, California

Came here having been to many fields and off the bat was greeted by the refs and some of the people There( I came early on accident) immediately after talking to some of the people there they made sure I had no problems with my gun and answered all the questions I had as it was my first time here. During the briefing I think his name was joe an amazing guy lit up the mood of the whole place and made sure everyone had fun. Ran into 0 cheaters that day and left with my gun performing better and a good experience. Definitely a place to check out in the Stockton area read more

I booked a private party here for my husbands 21st bday (2 weeks in advance) and an hour before our session they canceled our evening session. We had invited many of our friends to play and come out from far to celebrate my husband. The CQB employee on the phone said that the lights were not working ALL DAY! It was such a bummer that they only let us know 1 HOUR BEFORE OUR PARTY. The guy over the phone repeatedly kept saying that they had no control over the lights but they could've at least told us WAY BEFORE. Anyways... we ended up receiving our $400 back thankfully and had no choice but to go back home. read more

Chief is a great businessman and understands/listens to his customers. Much has changed since my last review. The re spawn entry points have been reconfigured to allow protected entry. Very nice! While there isn't a dedicated spectator perch, from time to time, non players with proper eye protection, have been allowed to view from the center watch tower. Doors to various buildings have been reconstructed to withstand the rough handling they receive. As far as splinters...well, that is just par for the course. Make sure you wear proper gear such as knee pads, and LEATHER gloves! Happy hunting! Thank you Chief! read more

CQB City - AirSoftPlus Tactical reuniion! - Airsoft Near Me - Stockton, California

Playing airsoft there is fun, most of the staff is friendly, one guy was rude. The rental equipment and masks are really bad and not worth the rental fee. The guns jam a lot, the shoulder pads are mostly broken and the masks have no foam left on them so they dig into your face/head. If you bring your own equipment then this is a good place to play but I wouldn't recommend renting from here. read more

this was a very fun experience for me and my son the staff were pretty nice but everything else's was just so fun we did get minor bruises but that is what happens when u play airsoft. read more

I remember my dad taking me here more than a decade ago. I was maybe 12 years old. My gun malfunctioned and the owner Joey wanted me to pay for it. He accused me to misusing the gun and causing it to brake. I remember one of the adult staff telling me--12 years old at the time--that I had a "piss-poor attitude." This was a horrible experience for a child and I would definitely recommend against visiting this place. read more

I wish I could give a zero. For my son's 13th birthday, we loaded up a car of kids, drove an hour and a half to CQB City, only for them to say, "You can't come in today; we're doing police training." What the literal ____..?!? There was absolutely nothing written on their website nor on the phone message when we called to check hours. Their attitude was like they could not possibly care any less nor did they offer any kind of apology or offer to come back and make it worth our while. They were rude, unprofessional, ruined a 13 year old's birthday and couldn't care less, and I will never spend another dime here (and we've spent HUNDREDS). Do not waste your time or money here. read more

It was very fun there were not a lot of rules they made sure to keep us safe. I wold definitely recommend this place

This field could be great except the staff don't care. They chrono with whatever weight you have in your gun Aka someone could chrono with .36 and be under 400 but will shoot 450+ with .20 and the field didn't check. Once on the field the teams aren't balanced they split the room by where your sitting to make teams. The refs wonder the field and don't do anything as numerous times I saw refs sitting in a spawn joking around with players and when you try to bring up issues with players cheating which was happening blatantly and constantly they do nothing. My partner pointed out a cheater in front of the ref and the ref shrugged and turned around. Lastly when off the field the staff announced that "they don't want to hear you calling out cheaters. If they hear it your kicked off the field". So they rather let the cheats enjoy them self than everyone else read more

I booked a private party for my sons 13th Birthday. Just $ 350.00 for 20 Players. The staff was very helpful we were allowed to bring food, Cake and drinks. All of our players had a great time. The Service was great. My Sons words as we were leaving "Mom That was the Best Birthday Ever!!!" Worth every penny... I definitely recommend this place to anyone.. However Be geared up I was shot multiple times and I had on a dressy silk blouse and capris.. lol... read more

I was a good customer there but not anymore. My husband and I go there and did A one year plan with them. I was bless with being pregnant and had a doctors note saying I can't do air soft any more. So I talked to the man that runs it (Chief) and he said it wasn't his fault that I got pregnant and that he would not take me off the plan. I asked him when my plan was up and he said he would call me back and months later still no call. I found out that they was a man that lost his arm and they wouldn't take him off the plan. another horrible story was about a man that was in the army had to go to a different state for the army and they didn't help out an American soldier either. They are a place that care about no one. They also pay all their employees under the table and call them volunteers. So they don't have to pay taxes on employees. I also hurt my hand bad there when I first starting going there and had to go to the hospital and get a brace for two weeks. They didn't even have me fill out any paper work that I could get hurt there. I have a scar on my hand from there that will most likely never go away. (Don't ask for a first aid kit because they don't have one) I should just sue them, but I don't think they will change if I do sue them. read more

CQB City - Fun time! - Airsoft Near Me - Stockton, California

Edit//: October 2013 - 5th time back since my first review below and they made some great changes to accommodate and pursue a professional and unique-to-their-style of customer service. Upon entering you have a work area for airsoft guns that are being repaired. On the left a pro shop to buy all the goodies to play like green gas, bb's (.25g max indoor weight limit at CQB city), tactical gear, and GUNS! While you get distracted looking at everything follow the see thru, glass cabinets of merchandise to the registration/cash registers. Get signed up fast because it gets crowded! Lunch is $5 and comes with a soda/water and 2 slices of pizza. The staging area is seen directly to the right after registering. Pick a nice sturdy table or workbench and that's going to be your spot until 4pm. BRING A CHAIR WITH YOU. Seating is limited so haul a little more weight and rest your feet after every game by sitting. A warrior requires rest so he or she is focused on the game. Bring water and snacks. CQB City is unique in their gameplay. From the very start you are shoved into close quarters with your team in an armored infantry vehicle (use your imagination) and deployed into a hostile city to rescue and extract VIPs, disarm the nuke, fight zombies, or eliminate. Expect high intensity gameplay at all times. Expect to get shot a lot! Even the regulars aren't perfect. Over the last few weeks CQB city turned their whole look around to accommodate a better space for families and "operators" (the players) to have fun, be comfortable, and even experience real life scenarios that our soldiers go thru everyday. It brings an understanding to the community on how difficult it can be to fight in close combat. Good job CQB City! The staff is friendly. Read my review below, but it's getting better every time I go there. As a regular player I want to point out the the referees need to be more active in actual refereeing. Helping call players out that were shot or not calling their hits. The owner, Chief, deems the grounds an honorable player zone, and it sucks to see him disrespected when there are a lot of people that cheat by not calling their hits every game. At other fields I've played at they are more aggressive and active in keeping the game fair letting people know to not break rules, cheat, and overall respect the rules. I hope this gets fixed soon because last time I played, I left at the end of the day mad, and as a business enthusiast; I hate to see that kind of thing be the reason why I wouldn't want to play here. Earning the 5th star in my review is close but it's not worthy of it yet! Keep at it Chief you're doing a great job at keeping airsoft fun and interesting! ___________________________________ For my first time there it was a great experience. The staff there are volunteers so don't expect much of outstanding service. They have guys behind the desk that look like they are 16 or 17 and they are useless to talk to if you want anything. Go straight the the man named "Chief" because it his his place and you'll get what you want answered, answered. For example I asked for Gatorade, directly to a volunteer with a CQB city shirt on, and he looked at me and then looked at one of the kids next to him and made him get it when the man I asked was RIGHT NEXT TO IT. Poor display if work ethic man. Their hours are 845 to 1600. First game starts at 1000. Registration is 845 to 945 and if you are late you wait until after the briefing at 945. Briefing is professional as you sit sides with your team or line up and listen to the Chief brief you on safety. Power outlets are provided. Tables, chairs, and workbenches are provided. I'd recommend a lawn chair if you are a germ-a-phobe. Field gameplay. Intense and not for the faint of heart. Expect loud grenade like explosions, some painful hits, and real life situations involving room clearing, firefights, simulated scenarios, and tactics. Full face protection is highly recommended. Being that it is close quarters getting shot in the face by a hi-power airsoft gun will break skin and make you look either badass or ugly. Play for fun and play fair. Call your hits and get out. Some players like to cheat so it takes a little more than 1 hit to make them get out. Ref said saw the hits and said to go full auto to punish him. Some righteous justice was served, 180 rounds later. Follow the veterans of the field. They'll lead you to victory. Cover them when you can and they will pave the way to the objective. If you sit around expect to get blown up by a simulation grenade from the opposing team. Overall a 4/5 for cleanliness, owner appreciation by the Chief, and fast game transitions. -1 star for lazy staff at Check-In As stated above. Move those who aren't doing anything and don't look the part to the couch to watch television and stay out of the way instead of wasting mine and another customer's time. read more

This was the first official site that popped my Air-soft Cherry Womb. It amazes me the amount of makeshift houses/complexes can fit inside a small indoor location the size of an average Costco. It's been a while since i went (6 months to be exact) and so much has changed, with an added outdoors field and extra game types (on top of an already amazing selections) I hope to get back on the field and play a night game soon. read more

I go here whenever I can, I believe it's kinda like a second home that I've only recently found. I actually wanted to come here on my birthday but I couldn't make it because I didn't charge the battery to my new gun. I made friends here and found my new passion. Can't wait for the weekends. read more

Kicks players out for dumb reasons. Don't go if you have your own equipment and are half decent at playing airsoft. They will kick you out for being too "aggressive" or "shooting too fast". Even though we tone it waaay down for playing normal players. Just not worth the money. Would prefer to never go again. read more

This place is phenomenal. Perfect for airsofting and training a like. Perfect activity for someone to do from all ages, Would recommend asking the staff members their recommendations for buying equipment. If someone were to play the sport often, it is definitely worth the investment of getting your own weapon and gear. Start off with a rifle first and then to a pistol. Gloves are the first piece of clothing that I recommend. Next would be a vest that can carry extra magazines for your rifle. if you schedule a private party like I did 9am to 11pm. show up 30 minutes before your party actually starts for the orientation and passes out the equipment for everyone and then actually have 2 hours of game time! The best worker there is "Comrade" he is great with kids and teens, He is really funny. but Stern, serious, and teaches great values to kids about weapon discipline. He watches over everyone well and makes sure everyone is safe. if someone is breaking any rules, he is fair and explains to them what they did wrong and teaches them not to make mistakes again instead of yelling at them, great man. I have 2 complaints. One would be the bathrooms, which I know can't really be helped being a warehouse. Another thing is that there is a big issue with some of the rental equipment. It feels like it really needs an update to better quality gear. I saw a lot of kids come back with something wrong with the weapon. Other than that, great people, great environment for everyone. 10/10 would come back and buy from here. read more

CQB city only deserves 1 star, but the 2nd star is for the field. The rental equipment is a decade old, abused, and barely kept running. Parts are missing, it doesn't function as it should, and often miss feeds. The staff is rude and obnoxious, and treats the customers as a burden on their social life. The place lacks organization and good communication, and money is better spent elsewhere. read more

The people who work there are very nice , airsoft is so much fun to play and u meet new people all the time.

I went there to play with some friends the field is ok but there was no refs on field they gave me a broken gun and made me pay a broken gun fee I was yelled at because I shot a bb into a wall before we started they gave me a broken magazine and was told to sit out several games very disappointed the staff did nothing about the cheaters and was told if I said someone was not calling hits I would be charged with a fee and kicked off the field. read more

This place sucks. Most of the people that work here are rude and the referees here don't know what they are doing. Just the other day the head ref made a little kid cry just because of a "mom" joke. Real petty.. Adding on, this place allows a lot toxic people play and the refs just allow it. Cheating is the norm here so everyone doesn't call their hits. And don't even get me started with the so called "speedQB" players here.. Save your money and go to Gamepod. read more

We had a party reserved 20 people. We were advised to be there at 10:30 am for a briefing. The "trainers" didnt arrive until 10:24 am. When it was finally time to start, there was not enough equipment for 20 people to play at one time. The staff was rude and they will never get my business again. read more

Sadness and disappointment. After coming back a third time with 7 teenage airsofters who are excited about the sport to find yet again the gas tank brigade firing what we can only assume are FPS 500+ leaving everyone including myself (familiar with a 300-400 FPS hit at close range) with deep blood blistering welts through army issue canvas camos. I have decided that money will be better spent on vacant land and our own place than blowing 300+ dollars being endlessly frustrated. You need to surprise spot check the gas tank guns, additionally the rapid fire triggers seem only to squelch any enjoyment by the poor cannon-fodder that comes to play (85% of your admissions as far as I can tell are the cannon fodder) ask yourself how many teenagers do you see returning who can?t afford the $600 high powered gun outfits. I?m willing to bet that they think they suck instead of simply being over powered. Never seen someone with an standard rate firing weapon be successful. I had resisted negative yelping because I know it?s hard to run this gig but this is strike three. Your refs need to spend less time geeking on guns and more time looking out for your bread and butter, the general level player. If you decide to give this a shot I recommend bringing a group and taking it over not getting bloodied by the regulars. After bringing up overly painful shooter, I was both told he was a regular and fair play guy and then by other employee he has only been here once. Weighed by not chrono-ed his gun, didn't feel like honest check. I hope they can turn around the reputation that seems to be growing but I won't be coming back with my assortment of 10 airsoft-hungry teens. read more

CQB City is a massive 60,000 sq. ft. indoor Airsoft arena located in the outskirts of Stockton, CA. It's run by Joey "Chief" Rubio who is ex-Army with a big smile. He runs a good operation and deals with BS pretty efficiently. For those of you that don't know, there's a lot of BS that goes along with Airsoft games, like little kids who don't play by the rules...sometimes even big kids. Luckily, I don't fall into the kid category. More like the soon-to-be mid-life crisis category. All in all, it's a good time to be had by all ages. I even saw a Vietnam vet there who told me that running was not an option for him...like, it wasn't possible. I highly recommend CQB City especially for Airsoft virgins because of the following: a) indoors null of sun, wind, dust (any of these can hinder your experience if you're not equipped to deal with any of these) b) it puts you right into the action so you don't have to wait to shoot somebody. Most likely, you'll have already been shot at by the time you step foot into the arena. c) the games are always dynamic, meaning Chief always has a different scenario each game. Also, he continue to improve the venue by adding more obstacles and changing the ones that are already there around Chief has a good number of experienced referees who monitor the games closely, although sometimes I wonder where they are; I think this is improving. For the most part, my run in with cheaters and hooligans has been pretty limited and when I do encounter it, either directly or by witness, it is handled quickly and efficiently. Gamepod, an Airsoft retailer in the area, is present at every game and sells guns, BB's, gas, gear, and other related accessories. They also sell guns and gear so you don't need to own anything to play here. This is a huge plus for those wanting to come try it out without committing hundreds of dollars to the hobby. I highly recommend fellow Yelpers to try this out instead of paintball. Also, at the end of the day, Chief holds a raffle courtesy of Gamepod, for the chance to win Airsoft prizes. I would say the winnings are pretty generous! My only gripe about the place is that the main lobby, if you can call it that, is not very cozy if you want to bring guests. In my case, my girlfriend. She would never be comfortable here. There is also no bathroom with running water, just a port-o-pottie. That won't fly with the lady. I think Chief should make the other side of the warehouse into a shopping mall! He does have the lunch thing covered. For $5, you get yourself a hamburger, chips, and drink, though, I recommend you bring your own food and drinks. The property is massive so you don't need to worry about parking. In fact, this would be a great place to bring your RV or trailer...that might be the only way to convince the girlfriend to come along with me. read more
