The Best Paintball, Airsoft and Laser Tag Fields near St. Louis for all ages and abilities. 11 playing fields on 25 acres.
Airsoft is a competitive team sport. The gameplay is somewhat similar to paintball, but the equipment and style simulates combat more than the paintball does. The airsoft pellets (BB’s) do not leave visible markings on their target, and hits are not always apparent. The game relies heavily on an honor system in which the person who has been hit is responsible for calling themselves out.
We offer Paintball, Low Impact Paintball, Airsoft, and Lasertag at our facility. Airsoft consists of shooting little plastic BBs at each other instead of shooting balls of paint. If you are unsure if airsoft or paintball is the best choice for your kids (who have never done either), we recommend doing paintball first. Realistically, paintball and airsoft are similar in nature, and both are a blast.. but with paintball we have two low impact options (see low impact tab) in addition to the traditional paintball.. so we always recommend paintball for players who are new to this stuff. The mid impact paintball guns have less of an impact than the airsoft guns. With that being said, airsoft is growing in popularity every day, and as long as you have honest players who call their hits, we have lots of groups that love it, and play all the time!
Gameplay varies in style and composition, but often range from short-term skirmishes, organized scenarios, close quarters battle, field, military simulations (MilSim) or historical reenactments. Combat situations on the battlefield may involve the use of military tactics to achieve objectives set in each game.
Before gameplay, an airsoft gun’s muzzle velocity is checked through a chronograph and usually measured in feet per second (FPS). At Xtreme Paintball Park near St. Louis, we use the following FPS restrictions:
We offer AIRSOFT OPEN AND PRIVATE GAMES! We do Airsoft open play (just show up and play/no reservations needed) the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sunday of every month, rain or shine! However, reservations are recommended – it’s easy to book online!
We can also do private parties seven days a week, anytime it is daylight, with ten or more people – reservation required. Book online or call to set it up at 618-476-9999.
If you don’t have your own gear, we have a rental equipment package that includes the gun and 1,000 BB’s. You can bring your own BB’s (BIODEGRADABLE ONLY) or buy ours. We stock only quality Tippmann Biodegradable BB’s, and they are sold in 1kg bags .. so if you get the .20s, you get 5,000 in a bag, the .25s have 4,000 in a bag, and so on. We stock .20, .25, .28, .30, .32 and .36 weights. All are the standard 6mm BB’s.
All players must use 6mm airsoft weapons that will be monitored under a chronograph. All airsoft guns must have a muzzle cover device outside the field and the staging area and may not be taken off until inside the netted areas. Real firearms or pellet guns are not allowed on the field — this includes blank firing weapons.
All games at Xtreme Paintball Park must be supervised by one of our referees.
Full seal eye protection is mandatory in netted areas AT ALL TIMES. Lower face protection is not mandatory but highly recommended. If under 18 years of age, the child must use a full face guard.
Throwing knives are not allowed. We do allow plastic knives, but they must be used only to signal that a player is being safety killed.. no actual contact is allowed.
Safety kills will be yelled within 10-20 feet. If anyone is injured on the field, players will yell “blindman.” When this call is heard, players will stop play, take a knee and repeat the call.
Sound Grenades, thunder BB’s and tornados are grenades that make noise or project BB’s and which we call our hits within a 15 ft kill radius from which it lands.
In airsoft, a single hit from a BB anywhere on your person or what you are wearing counts as a kill.
When you are hit, place your hand up in the air and let everyone know you are hit by vocally saying “I am hit” or “I’m out.” Dead rags are great for this too, if you do not want to hold your hand up in the air. Simply place the dead rag on top of your head (normally the color of a dead rag is red).
Airsoft ricochets do not count — direct hits only.
THIS IS AN HONOR BASED GAME. If you think you are hit, call yourself out. If you have a problem with anyone not calling hits, tell the referee ASAP. Do not yell at them mid-game, because if you are wrong, it can drastically effect game play/morale. We do not tolerate cheating, and have gotten pretty good at keeping an eye on people when need be.
