In airsoft battles, you may encounter separate rooms that may have enemy soldiers in them. These enemies may be sniping from a window or just waiting around the corner for you to come in. It is important to be able to safely enter that room and neutralize your enemy before he gets to you. There are many ways to do this. Here are some tips for safely clearing out a room.
If you are working with a teammate or many teammates in your airsoft team, they should be supplying cover fire for you in all directions. Before you enter the room, stop and listen for enemy activity in there. Quickly open the door and begin your attack. You should have a strategy worked out before hand. You need to know who is going to take what direction and what weapon will be the most appropriate.
Airsoft M203 grenade launchers can be very effective at neutralizing multiple enemies. These attach to almost any M4 or M16 Airsoft Rifle. The grenade shells can launch 18 to 168 airsoft bb's in one shot. The actually grenade never leaves the launcher. These grenade shells are powered by green gas. You should burst into the room and fire the grenade in the direction of the highest concentration of enemy soldiers. You can also use a window if there is one.
An airsoft grenade such as the ICS or Deep Fire Grenade Launcher are very useful for clearing out a room. Crack the door and roll one of these in and your sure to get a kill or two. Imagine a that there is an airsoft sniper up in a second floor room shooting out of the window and you can't shoot him. Toss an airsoft grenade up there and light him up! Some airsoft grenades have powder packs in them. The powder acts as smoke and can confuse the enemy while you are laying heavy fire into them and they can't see you. You can also consider Airsoft Flash Bangs, these are a great distraction device.
Landmines and claymore are a great trick to picking off the enemy as they enter or leave a room. Set up a claymore at the door. Throw a powder grenade in the room through a window and force the enemy out. When they leave, the claymore will blast 100 bb's at them. This technique works like a charm.

hello
great forum lots of lovely people just what i need
hopefully this is just what im looking for looks like i have a lot to read.
nice tips for clearing a room. I like the claymore trick to get them when coming out of a room. Posts like this show why airsoft is so much better then paintball!
a problem with grenade launchers is that the grenades are unreliable. i only have two- and right now they're both broken- but this seems to be common thing.
come to think of it- i play airsoft for 6 years and i only saw someone using a grenade launcher in game twice maybe. in one instance the guy wasn't even using a launcher- holding his rifle in one hand and the grenade in another, aimed at the enemy, he pushed the primer with his thumb.
another thing is that they work like a large shotgun rather than a real grenade launcher, and they have very wide spread. good for short distances, but i'd love to see something that actually launches some sort of grenade into the room where the enemy is hiding.
This is one of the reasons why I think people like airsoft over paintball, because you are able to use tactics. It makes the game much more interesting when it allows you to simulate the military.
When I'm clearing a room with my team, we always use the Airsoft Flash Bangs technique. It works 9/10 times.
They do have grenades that shoot out. They are like....nerf foam rockets. The problem with these is that they have to hit the person and of course they haven't been cleared for saftey yet. However, they have a really nice range on them.
