Not if they're screwed or bolted to the cabinets. 350FPS shouldn't do much damage to TV screen glass, either. Now the DVD players and speakers (or a subwoofer; I cant tell what it is in the pic) might take some damage, and then you have plastic shards to clean up....

Anyway...TacTac, very good work at creating a convincing "home" CQC environment. I can't wait to see some noob try to hide behind that plastic slide, though... :lol: I will definitely be there for the grand opening.

Will kicking in the doors be allowed? What kind of rules do you have against blind firing? I know some douchebag is gonna try it (especially with those windows) and something a little more harsh than 'general ridicule within the community' might be in order.......ya know.......just a suggestion...... ;)

Blind firing is a no go.

Kicking in of doors will definitely be allowed. Our doors are rigged with Velcro so they will close but can be kicked open without ripping the door off the frame.

We will have 2 "houses" - a crack house and a "I need to move out of this neighborhood" house, 1 restaurant and a bank/office. There is also the "back room" with a nasty "questioning" room for scenario play.

Our plan was to create a realistic environment that can be used for both recreational play and for more serious applications like training. One of the comments we got when designing the facility is that most CQB places are not much more then a bunch of plywood on frames in a "paintball" environment. There is a a huge difference between clearing an "empty" room and one that has furniture and other things that would be found in a real setting.

We used many different guides on CQB and CQC including the Army MOUT manual (FM 90-10-1). We present several "problems" including T-intersections, Red Zones, and other common and realistic but complex problems. The angles in this facility are a challenge. The longest shot in the complex is about 100', most shots will be under 10'.

We have several expert military advisers on the project include several Army Rangers, ex-SWAT team members, Marines and several Military tactics instructors. I think we have over 50 years of military experience guiding our design.

But the key is fun. The facility is designed to have no "sweet spots" and multiple solutions for dynamic entries as well as just fun "game play" using the inside and outsides of the buildings. So it doesn't matter if you are an expert or just out to shoot some people up, we will be able to offer it all!

So what is going to be happening on the 4th? I'm going to be in Seattle that afternoon and could see me and my wife hanging around a bit.
