3 reviews for CQB City
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.

Been here a couple times and its an ok field. Well i guess its not really a field since its indoors but yeah. When i first got here i was ready because CQB meant i dont have to have a high powered AEG to peg people. So i had my P90 which is setup w/ 30+rps. When i got there they announced no full auto. The people w/ SAW's and ROF guns were all immediately pissed. Turn off #1.
Upon going there i noticed there are alot of children there going off doing their own thing. When we gathered people to do objectives i noticed all the older people grouping together going for the objective, and the little ones going off in which ever direcetion. Its kinda frustrating. Turn off #2
The good sides of this airsoft field is that you can bring your own bb's and it dosent have to be biodegradable. Refs are god but still cant stand the fact you cant be on full auto. And they provide real food. Other than that its an a-ok field. This field is great for beginners.
If you want to get to the real action i recommend RHP's Fort Ord in Monterey. Best field in the bay area. But this place is a-ok. Way better than sequioa.

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.
