Tactical Firearms Training: Airsoft Home Defense Drill

When you are using air­soft guns as part of your firearms train­ing, you need to be sure that you cre­ate real sce­nar­ios. Real­is­tic drills like a home inva­sion would be a good way for you to ensure that trainees under­stand how to use their guns prop­erly in a mat­ter of moments. Here is a way you can prac­tice home defense in the home should dan­ger arise, with­out using a real firearm.

Home Inva­sion: Set­ting Up the Training

Begin with a stop­watch and sit­u­ate your­self in your liv­ing room set­ting and turn on the tele­vi­sion. Keep your air­soft gun in a loca­tion where you would poten­tially keep your own firearm, such as a drawer or a night­stand. Now with your part­ner, you will begin a home inva­sion sce­nario. Begin by hav­ing them knock on the door and then enter your home in a man­ner that would be unpre­dictable. Stu­dents should be encour­aged to enter through dif­fer­ent doors to keep oth­ers on their toes and to sim­u­late an intruder that you will help to improve the actual home defense experience.

Home Inva­sion Sce­nario: Forced Entry and Your Air­soft Gun Training

When some­one bursts into the door, you will need to see how fast it will take stu­dents to react to the sit­u­a­tion. This is by head­ing to the gun in the home and then using it to pro­vide you with bet­ter pro­tec­tion. Reac­tion times are impor­tant and you will want to keep going through the drill until the process is done in a rea­son­able amount of time. The goal is to show the impor­tance of speed, being calm and ensur­ing that the home defense sys­tem doesn’t let you down.

For this air­soft gun train­ing sce­nario, you will be lying in bed and the expe­ri­ence will take place in the dark. Be on your stom­ach and close your eyes. Wait for the alarm and then get up as quickly and you can and grab your air­soft gun. Then move to the safe room in the setup as quickly as pos­si­ble. You will want to ensure you aren’t tak­ing a lot of time and that your move­ments are pre­cise, keep­ing in mind that you are going to be slowed down by being woken up in real life. As part of the train­ing, stu­dents may have to wait in bed for spe­cific period of time from the alarm to bet­ter sim­u­late this.

Just be sure that you under­stand that your air­soft gun train­ing will never be actual firearms train­ing .While you can sim­u­late real events and weapons, you do need to keep in mind that a real firearm will have other fac­tors that can come into place and you will need to ensure that you prac­tice your firearms train­ing in addi­tion to these sce­nar­ios to ensure you have the best over­all under­stand­ing of how to keep your­self safe dur­ing a home inva­sion and to learn new tac­tics for the best home defense.
