We’ve talked before about airsoft, and how the game that allows you to gun down your friends is ironically gaining seeing its ranks grow and grow in Japan. Unlike paintball, airsoft uses solid-state, BB-like ammo, so it’s a great way to unleash your inner remorseless 1980s action hero (or his gritty, 2010 reboot) without getting your fashionable combat fatigues stained with purple and orange splatters.
Most airsoft fields tend to be just that, fields out in the woods. But what if your combat fantasies are more Predator 2 than Predator, and you’d prefer an urban theater of operations? Is there a place where you can hunt the deadliest game: man?
Sure there is, at the Wanju Military Theme Park in Korea.
This expansive airsoft setup features roughly a dozen structures for players to try out their block-to-block tactics on. While most of the building are simple frames, there’s a pretty convincing gas station mock-up in the center of the combat zone.

There are also clearly marked streets and crosswalks, because being chased by a gun-toting mob is no excuse for jaywalking.

Of course, with streets and a filling station, there’s no reason not to have cars too. A variety of makes and models are scattered around, and they don’t provide the transportation necessary for a drive-by, they do offer cover.
▼ Remember, kids, stay away from suspicious panel vans with blacked-out windows, unless you’ve got a hail of gunfire coming at you.

You can even find an arcade machine lying around that still retains its coin slot and joystick.

There’s also the standard assortment of crates and barrels to hide behind, plus at least one two-story structure that provides a vantage point for sniping opponents. Needless to say, with so much variety, the contests between teams are a sight to see.
