If you head to place that has a lot of CQB, just pick up small submachine or Pistol (Mp5 don't count in most time) I use same gun I got for first time, TF Mp7. honest, I always am baffled when people bring long gun to Xtreme tactic. Sure, they work well outside, but we play CQB with few long range(100ft max?), so its advantage is good as gone.

It you really find yourself unable to use a weapon in confined areas, you have the wrong weapon. If that's the case, such as M14s, cradle or low ready works. Contrary to what all the people on here are saying, it you're engaging people in a building, tucking the buttstock firmly under the shoulder, in your armpit will work just fine. I've tried it with both real and airsoft, it's accurate enough with a rifle under 30 meters with the real deal. For airsoft, range obviosly changes.

As for pistols, realisticly, you don't always have one, I've done CQB training, IRL, and I was never given a side arm. General consensus is they're nice to have, but they're more weight and if you need it, you're probably fucked anyway. Granted, I'd LIKE to have it just in case.

For the purposes of airsoft, I have a pistol with one mag, I've only had to actually draw it once or twice in all the years I've been playing, that's only due to a stoppage in my primary weapon, the pistol is called a secondary for a reason and should be treated as such. That's not to say you shouldn't train and be competent on it.

As for swapping guns for different games: Train as you fight, fight as you train.

I did try once with m14 when I visit Xtreme tactics for first time, no need to said I learn fast that small gun is better for CQB. then bought Mp7 and never use other than this.

Man all this useful info. Now I gotta go practice my shotgun draw(it's in a scabbard/holster on my back). Honestly, pulling out a secondary can be useful, but especially in situations I have experienced, I never have enough time to pull it out when I need it.

something like a shotgun is probably going to be more of a backup than a sidearm. Especially when your in some of those oh shit moments, its not going to do much, under conditions where you may be under fire, under cover, have little room to draw your boomstick, I think if you are in situations where you need a secondary for close quarters you should get something smaller and easier to draw. Shotguns shouldn't be secondaries, they should be primaries! Maybe you could do what I do, a backup shotty for your shotty(goblin deuce, quick to draw, small, and has some damn nice spread on it, but with reduced range compared to main shotty) Because we know you like shotties

Anyone have any tips for drawing shotguns, best way to keep them on you, fastest way to draw, modifications and ideas people have, or ideas on keeping another primary on your back? Ive tried to run my L96 with my 97b on my back and it just seems too heavy and difficult to secure both but be able to switch them out quickly. Damn videogames influences

I carry a shotgun on my back almost all the time. Never assume you'll be able to draw it as fast as a pistol or PDW, since its' just not realistic. As for carrying it, I have it mounted MOLLE slanted, so that it's easier to reach the grip. I always make sure that the grip faces inwards towards my head, since it flows naturally to draw it like that. I find it best to let your rifle drop down by sling, obviously so that it won't fit the ground. I then grip the stock of my rifle and push it against my chest and around my back, while my right hand pulls out the shotgun. Remove the top strap that wraps around the pistol grip. It's useless, and your gun will never fall out anyway.

One thing to remember is that you should draw the shotgun in one smooth motion. It's not a problem with the 870 or 500, but with the Benelli 3/4 and SPAS-12, the awkward parts on the pump might get stick in the scabbard. One smooth motions helps me get the gun out much faster, otherwise you're going to have to tug at it. In terms of stocks, just don't do it with a fullstock gun like an 870 or an M3 Super 90. When I used to carry my Benelli, I'd tie a piece of paracord on the restractable stock's sling mount. You can use it to grip the gun more quickly. If doing it with a folding stock like the SPAS-12, keep it half folded when you scabbard the gun in, then close the stock around the scabbard. That way you can fire quickly once you draw the gun from a folded position, while not having to undo the lock if you want to use the stock quickly. It's also a much smoother fit with the SPAS-12. The same goes with a side folding M4 style stock. With extendable stocks, I find it best to keep it in the shortest position, that way your gun doesn't get caught on stuff when you run around and take cover. It always makes your profile lower.

Ah, I noticed some discussion about a secondary weapon. I consider a shotgun just a compliment to my primary weapon. In a situation where you need to shoot fast, I still use my .45 instead. Don't ever try whipping a shotgun out of your scabbard when the enemy is charging. You're going to get shot.

May sound odd but when I sling my gun on my back I usually put the barrel down my drop pouch, its very secure that way and helps distribute the weight off your shoulder. I know theres a product called the corral gunslinger which does the same thing much more effectively but I don't have the space on my belt for it.

yeah, great for loose two point slings or single point slings, so you dont have to worry about your primary coming off your back.

then your hop up is too high. little to no hop up on a long range gun is usally a good thing. i use an L96 and rarely ever use the hop up.

When I used my M14 Socom, I usually tucked it under my armpit or when in the longer hallways, I was the last person to follow. If it got really tight I would switch to my pistol.

I think one of my friends who's a marine said they tell you to "shoulder" the rifle with the stock over your shoulder.

In the game I went to yesterday I had someone charge my position and hide on the opposite side of the wall I was on. I knew I couldn't get my AK in position and turn without getting shot, and since I had lent a friend my pistol holster, I was actually carrying it in one of the AR/AK double mag pouches on my molle vest. Thing came out as my gun got slung, popped around the corner, pressed it into his collar bone and said "So, mercy right?" before he could even get his gun half up and pointed in the right direction.

I found in that situation anyway, having my AK on a one point and having my pistol right on my vest meant minimal movement to get the thing out and ready. It happened quite fast, and maybe a cross-draw holster or stash it in an empty mag pouch. It meant I only had to move my hand about 6 inches to get it and get it out, and that happened in the time span it took me to drop my main to my side.
