Force on Force Training with Airsoft
Step onto the two-way range
Airsoft isn’t just a game for kids wanting to simulate military operations or live out first-person shooter video games. Serious airsoft players don’t use “toy” grade equipment. They demand the best officially licensed gear and pay top dollar for it. What does this have to do with you, the firearms owner who is on your house of worship’s security team? Everything.
These aren't kids toys
If you have never seen a fully-functioning airsoft pistol in action, just know that the magazine release will work just like your firearm’s release. Likewise, the slide stop and release will operate the same way. Airsoft guns offer much more than just a “dummy” tool to use in simulating scenarios. They function and they shoot and they are safe to shoot at other people provided proper PPE is worn.
That last point is the most important. Airsoft guns are the no-mess way to evaluate yourself and your security team on the two-way range. The only thing that will hurt is your pride when you make a mistake. Training with airsoft gives you immediate feedback on what works, what doesn’t work, and how to not make mistakes that jeopardize your congregation or team in high-stress situations.
Do you have a plan?
Training for house of worship security is a serious matter. Public meeting houses are extremely vulnerable by their open nature. There have been scores of violent attacks at churches in the decade that precedes us now. Yes, training for the worst case scenario is only one part of a total security plan, but it is an essential part, the keystone as it were, of protecting your congregation.
Elite Force Airsoft has licensed replicas of the handgun brands you trust with your life. If your team is using an AR platform or PDW, we can help with that, too. Check out our Force on Force Training Kit bundles to help get your team started with all the tools you need.

Train safely with the right gear
Airsoft isn't just a recreational game for enthusiasts simulating military ops or video game scenarios. Serious practitioners invest in high-quality, officially licensed gear that mirrors real firearms. But how does this relate to you as a firearms owner serving on your house of worship's security team? It directly ties into force on force training, providing a safe, effective way to prepare for real-world threats.
Effective Training
Nothing beats hands-on experience for preparing for emergencies. That's where airsoft force on force training shines. Most high-end airsoft handguns fit seamlessly into holsters designed for their real firearm counterparts.
Plus, modern airsoft models support accessories like red dot sights, making them ideal for non-lethal training simulations.
Why Airsoft?
These aren't mere toys—they're functional replicas. The magazine release, slide stop, and overall operation mimic your actual firearm. Unlike inert dummies, airsoft guns fire projectiles safely at others when proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is used. This makes them perfect for force-on-force training without the risks of live ammo.
The key advantage? Airsoft provides a no-mess, low-risk "two-way range" to test your skills and team dynamics. Mistakes only bruise egos, not bodies, offering instant feedback on tactics that work—or fail—in high-stress scenarios. It's an essential tool for refining force-on-force training strategies.
Securing places of worship is critical. Their open, welcoming nature makes them vulnerable to attacks, with numerous incidents reported in recent years. While less lethal force on force training is just one element, it's the cornerstone of a robust security strategy, helping protect your congregation effectively.
Elite Force Airsoft offers licensed replicas of trusted handgun brands, plus AR platforms and PDWs for versatile training. Explore our Force on Force Training Kit bundles to equip your team with everything needed for airsoft-based less lethal training.
