Close quarters combat (CQB or CQC) is a type of airsoft play that takes place in close quarters, such as inside buildings or around trees. It is often referred to as the SMG or pistol game because it is common for smaller guns to excel at this style of play. In CQB, players are typically limited to using pistols and SMGs because they are easier to control and less likely to cause damage if fired inaccurately or at close range. The goal of CQB is usually to eliminate the enemy team by shooting them from close range. Many airsoft games will have designated CQB areas where the teams will compete to achieve the most kills.
