If nothing else it's better than Tac. However, like most of the airsoft community, the staff is full of belittling and rude wannabe hardasses. The big man at the front is the worst part of it all, though. He's the most unlikeable guy I've ever met. Rude, loud, arrogant, belligerent, etc, you name it and he's probably it. Totally ruins the experience for new players The reffing was fine gameplay wise, but almost all of them are pretty arrogant and belittling. Venue is fine, and it's priced very well. read more

Buddies went back another time, but I unfortunately couldn't make it. First impression wasnt great, but glad they made the effort to make it right. Hopefully ill make it back personally one day read more

While everyone is reviewing about how amazing their airsoft games are, I am here to review about the gym and archery -- since I have never played airsoft yet. Anyway, their gym is at a very affordable price, and it's usually rather empty; and, that is something I love because it feels like I'm working out in a private gym. Another thing that I tried here was their archery. Shoutout to Jon who gave me the archery lessons and the basics of archery. My experience has been nothing but very pleasant from the services on the front desk to the gym and the archery as well! read more

I gameplay is the only thing I can't complain, but the staff is rude and one of the staff even told me to throw away my battery that' it sucks and I'm better off buying a new battery (my battery was brand new never used) and also the ref "the big man" everyone knows who I'm talking about shoots you if HE thinks you got out ( happened to not just to me but to multiple people that day I went) and inconsistent cronos my buddy's been using the same m4 at n1 and all of a sudden it's way over ( he's never changed a thing in the gun) The funny part is the owner knows that his staff is rude and ruins the experience and doesn't say nothing about it to the other reviewers, this place really needs a performance tracking plan and a evaluation plan on these staff or fire them and get someone who won't shit on your whole experience. read more

I had issues with my Hi-capa mag but one of the referees came by and helped me fixed it and gave me an extra mag, I'm so thankful for the workers here, they're so helpful i truly recommend people to play at this field at project N1, I love the game modes and outside field everyone is so nice. read more

My son wanted to experience airsoft at the time he was 12 so I did a little research and picked this field due to it being close to us as there isn't very many options available. The first time I rented gear/gun/protection "full battle rattle" my son had a blast we knew it was going to be something we both wanted to get into and while my son ran his first set of games. I got to speak with Gabe who from day 1 has absolutely gone above and beyond to make every day we go the best experience possible and every single employee from the owner to the kid doing chrono (fps check on all airsoft used) has been friendly respectful and completely professional even when some people have been quite the opposite in their treatment of this field and other patrons that have come to have a good time with family and friends. I can tell you about the rules here and how much better I think it is compared to Tac City or wherever else but people will find that for themselves it's not hard to understand the difference between N1 and other establishments which are completely fine in their own right. However this field show young men how to be men. How to be honest. How to be accountable for your actions and mindful of the decisions you make and how it affects others. Other places for airsoft show people Of all ages a fun place to experience a great sport with friends and family. N1 does all those and 1 single thing more that other places simply don't...raises men and women to be the best people society needs. And EVERYONE that plays at this field go hard so toughen up buttercup it's only plastic bbs it's not that serious! read more

This indoor airsoft field is *fantastic*! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is electric and welcoming. The staff and refs are top-notch -- knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about the sport. They care about every player's experience and are always rotating game modes and mixing up teams to keep things fresh and exciting. Time management is also excellent. Games start quickly, breaks are reasonable, and the day flows smoothly without long periods of downtime -- something a lot of other fields struggle with. The *only* downside is the air quality inside. It gets pretty muggy, especially during the day. For the best experience, I recommend showing up after 6pm when it tends to cool off a bit and feel more breathable. Still, even with that minor con, I'll always recommend this field to both new and experienced players. This is how an airsoft field should be run! read more

Our whole family comes here at least once a week. It's my son's most favorite place to spend his time at. Even before he started playing. His dad's been playing since our son was about 3 years old. We used to go watch. The employees there were the sweetest. Great customer service and always made sure my son and i had a good time even though we weren't playing. It was a place my husband would go to outside of work to unwind and just play with friends. My son is 10 now and started to play when he was 8 years old. Our family always go together and almost always make new friends every time we go. The people there just make it such a positive environment. They always help each other whether it's helping fix a broken part for a kid or even just giving tips on how to play better. The owner and manager there are such good people. They really watch out for the players. Especially the kids. It's always safety first and then making sure everyone is having a good time. We're blessed to be a part of this community and I'm so grateful that there is a field like this in LA for us to play at! read more

I am a casual player who gets to play every other month or so and each time I go here I love the experience. This place is for casual players who follow the rules and leave the egos out of the game, you're playing with TOYS. When I have seen a bad encounter it's either the person who decided to play the game didn't know that this game can hurt and that N1 is known for its no engagement distance(which I love btw). It's not for the weak but I've seen a 10-year-old be more of a man on getting hit by a BB than an actual grown one at this place. And or that they just don't know how to follow rules and that actions have consequences(I've seen people cheat and play the victim when field calls them out). I used to be a casual at Wackcity for years but had WAY MORE bad encounters there with over shooting and favorites getting away with straight up being bullies to people at times. This place isn't perfect but it dang near imo for a CQB airsoft field (just wish it was a tad bit bigger) Get good or go home and for damn sake call your hits read more

Project N1 - Staging area - Airsoft Near Me - El Monte, California

So this business is claiming that they actually do consistently check players weapons and gear, "every single round". It's been almost two weeks since I visited this field, and because they can't properly run their business, I still have open sores on my arms that refuse to heal. They're most likely gonna make up some bullshit story about how this normally doesn't happen and blah blah blah, I have been to this field multiple times over the past couple months, and I now have almost 20 little scars across my body from this field. If you have young kids or anyone that might have medical conditions that would like to play, take them somewhere else, protect yourself and your loved ones. This field is a scam, if you're trying to have a good time without dealing with the blood and pain. read more

Project N1 - One of the areas that I was injured, and still will not heal almost 2 weeks later. Garbage field. Would not recommend. - Airsoft Near Me - El Monte, California

Out of respect for my friend and his kids, I've decided to delete this review. I'm glad Project N1 was able to make it up to some extent by providing a private game, even though some of us couldn't take part in it. read more

Staff are cool people everyone and follows the rules if you're looking for a good cqb field I would say this is the best you're gonna get

Jose and Nick the refs are very patient and kind refs. They thoroughly explain the rules and do not tolerate when rules are broken. Kim the worker is also friendly. read more

Excellent field, friendly staff, chill players. I go here practically every week and it is probably the best CQB field in SoCal. The weekly layout changes keep things fresh, interesting, and a novel experience each week. Most regular players are very skilled and experienced, but also very chill. The matches run rapid fire fast, therefore there is little down time with plenty of reps, incentivizing players to go at it. Only complaint I have is that the field can feel cramped with a lot of players, but sometimes that's a good thing. All in all, highly recommend, whether you're in it for a good time, looking to get good, or both. read more

We decided to try Project N1 after playing at our home field at CPP for some time as it's only about 50 minutes from Palmdale and we wanted to check out other fields with this one being on our list. Upon arrival, we were greeted kindly by the man in the front and instructed to fill out waivers. After paying, we received our gear and prepared for chrono. Pricing was very fair and affordable. Our first issue came during the briefing. Ref was very chummy with regulars, with little attention given to newcomers or casual players. Rules were not clearly stated, and there was a comment from the referee that if we broke a rule, he "would shoot us," which was a first. During our game, we encountered a significant safety concern. One player repeatedly hit me from no more than 6-7 feet and both hits drawing blood and running down my arm, and couple times more on my neck - with the field's claimed limits of 350 FPS and 1.12 joules and hurting significantly more. For comparison, at other fields, including Battle Labs, similar and but even with allowing higher FPS resulted in only 2 blood drawing hits from a point blank - face to face distance shots - and a couple of blood blisters by the end of the night. This was either a chrono calibration issue or not regulating bb weights. By the end of the day, I counted 14 hits that drew blood and 26 blood blisters - the worst and unsafest experience yet. Additionally, some players were rude and riding their egos, making negative comments about our play style and creating tension. My girlfriend's sister, who was trying the sport for the first time, was repeatedly team-killed, which ruined her experience. Of course not necessarily the fault of the field itself, but this is the community that is here regularly. Team balancing was another concern. After around 40 rounds, our team only won about four, and the referee made no effort to adjust teams or balance gameplay. At the end of the night, the ref's response to my thanks for reffing our games monotone and sounding bothered with a "uh-huh" while laughing and smiling with the regulars all night long, which felt unwelcoming--especially after the long drive. The person at the front desk once again was friendly and wished us a safe trip, but the overall experience was very negative. Therefore, while there were a few friendly players and the man upfront being kind, safety issues, lack of clear rules with no briefing and asking for everyone's attention, unbalanced teams, and unwelcoming behavior make this field a difficult choice for casual or new players. We would recommend newcomers consider other fields with clearer regulations and a safer, more inclusive environment. read more

Our son had a great time here with a friend and can't wait to go back. Staff were super helpful, patient and kind.

Started this hobby at this spot probably 3 months ago. Because of this place i fell in love with the hobby/sport compared to other places. Refs will hear you out, will check and call out anything suspicious. While my experiences have been stellar, I've seen mixed feedback from others. Some mention inconsistency with referees or interactions that could have gone smoother From my perspective, though, the positives overshadow any of those hiccups. read more

It's a great place to have fun however the Refs there are very biased when their friends come to play. The following video is a player in a group that likes to overshoot people and the refs don't do anything about it. read more

Have been coming here for a couple of years and love it more every time. The staff is very helpful, especially for the newcomers, and the referees are solid! There's awesome rentals if you don't have equipment, and they have equipment and accessories for sale! Can't wait to go back!! read more

Been to this field 5 times already, and it's been 5 great experiences. The community is great and the employees are the vibe. Would honestly come back again, if it weren't for the drive. See you guys on the weekends when I get the chance to. I would HIGHLY recommend this place. Especially for you MILSIM larpers out there. Makes you a better player and person. read more

Private party booked and payed for we showed up about 40 people waited outside for over an hour and 30 minutes past when they said to be there. Nobody answered any calls or messages just left us to sit outside. Ended up leaving because some of us had stuff to do and didn't get any play time in. Terrible service forgetting a huge event like that. read more

I was lucky enough to have been invited for a group game for three birthday boys out in El Monte. The group arrived a little before the 930a, per the suggestion of N1, to get chrono'd and prep for the game: but no one was at the facility. After nearly two hours of waiting and phone calls, the group leader had enough and we left after deciding to head to Battlelab in Ontario (review to follow: way better experience). Around 1p our group leader got a call from N1, essentially saying "our bad" as an explanation as to why no one was at the facility for our group. They cited a "system change" as the reason why we fell through the cracks. I am sure our paid-in-full monies did not fall through the cracks! The majority of the time was wasted waiting at the venue and members of the birthday party had to head out and others had to leave for work. Worst experience EVER playing at an airsoft field. read more

I would not recommend this airsoft field due to a poor experience with both the staff and the atmosphere of regular players. The regulars showed a crazy level of arrogance that made the overall experience unpleasant and unenjoyable. Keep in mind i wear pant ball pants with a thick jersey and never had an issue the unfair play here was a major problem. I was left with welts that drew blood and shouldn't be dismissed by signing a waiver. My specific issues were with the enforcement of rules. They only did chronos for the first game of the day, and it seemed like it was more strictly enforced on newer players. The regulars were allowed to continue playing with what appeared to be more powerful guns after this initial check and using heavy bbs, leading to the unfair play I experienced. Teams can definitely be more balanced but wasn't too much of an issue. I played with the same teams for over five hours. A simple solution like asking if anyone is willing to swap teams or re-drawing team bands would have made the games more far more enjoyable and fair to everyone. read more

The staff, especially the owner are very caring about players. The field is incredibly fun and at a fair price point. I appreciate their strong commitment to ensure safety on and off the field. I highly recommend this place read more

My 10 year old nephew is constantly begging for his next day here. He's been elsewhere and as a tiny human, this is the one place he's felt safe and welcomed. He knows what airsofting entails-you WILL get shot so make sure to shoot first. If it hurts, walk it off and do better on the next set. He's been asking to have his upcoming birthday here because of how much he loves mingling with "the big kids" on top of meeting ones close to his age and "playing level." If you want to airsoft in a non-toxic environment, play here. If not, go to Tac. That place was better when it was off Ramona. Stop whining on Yelp because you can't hold yourself accountable. It isn't cute and it's why you're still single. read more

i think i've written a review here a year ago when i first started airsoft. This is what i consider my local. One thing that I really appreciated from yesterday was I misplaced my Odin Black Speed Loader ($50) and is out of stock usually.. Well i ask the owner, Gabe, and he told me "does it have tracer bbs?" You know, i know he didn't have to hold onto it, he could've used it for his business but instead he put it in the back so incase someone asks. I thank him!! I'm grateful for this field and the experiences i get to have. I have a year membership, and will get another one once it's up. I just brought my sister yesterday for the first time and she found it exhilarating. Thank you. read more

I knew nothing about this when I first visited the store. Everybody was friendly and helpful. The educated me on things instead of making me feel stupid.

I just started coming here and signed up for a 1 year membership. Overall an okay experience. the staff are very friendly, helpful and make the games fun. They stay on top of cheaters to ensure everyone has a good time. One of the big issues with this place is Friendly fire. I am constantly getting hit by teammates because they cannot clearly see the tape thats provided to distinguish teammates from enemies. A remedy for that would be to provide glow in the dark arm bands that I've seen at alot of other CQB airsoft spots use. This place gets really overcrowded on the weekends and you will just get sprayed by teammates over and over again. I hope they spend the extra money to remedy this. Another thing might just be a personal issue but I hate it when they dim the lights. You cannot see anything at all and you throw that in with overcrowding and not being able to separate teammates from foe and its a recipe for disaster. Ill keep going for the rest of my membership year but I probably wont renew unless they address the friendly fire issue. read more

Owner isn't very friendly, tried to make conversation once or twice, kinda just blew me off, prices are pretty high on the weekends, but all the other staff/refs are very cool and friendly. I appreciate them being open during the week but it's not worth overpaying on Saturday and Sunday, $30 for Friday is still overpriced but not as unreasonable as $45 on Sat & Sun. Great place to go during the week since they're open late and the prices Monday through Thursday aren't unreasonable at all. I like the field but it's too expensive to play consistently on weekends, it's better to play at bigger more populated fields on the weekend where the regulars don't play like they're getting a reward for it. One thing I will say, is all the reviews saying the staff are hostile, is wrong, they're not rude or dicks unless you do something wrong, just not outwardly friendly, which I'm not happy about but I can live with. read more
