HomeTeamNS is proud to announce the official launch of Singapore’s first Indoor Player versus Player (PvP) Airsoft facility, TactSim. Opening on Sunday, 29 November 2020, TactSim provides an exciting combat experience within a safe and highly realistic training environment. It is designed as a professional competitive shooting sports facility and with its various airsoft-related activities focused on teambuilding, TactSim aims to be a world-class facility to help develop camaraderie and leadership skills.
Located in HomeTeamNS Khatib, the 765m² indoor facility boasts two Airsoft arenas and a target shooting range. The arenas are customisable to simulate residential and industrial environments that are similar to those used in urban combat training, thanks to operable walls and doors which are suspended from a grid system, allowing the layout to be configured for different game modes which include competitive target shooting, competitive PvP and scenario games.
As mentioned earlier, if you’re looking for an activity to build your team’s camaraderie, there are two game modes – “Capture the Flag” and “King of the Hill” where they promote teamwork, honesty and communication skills. For individuals who are more into target shooting, the Target Shooting Range is designed to accommodate a wide range of shooting-related activities, including setups such as steel plates and reactive falling targets that provide a challenging and immersive experience for beginners to experienced shooters.
TactSim was conceptualised for our Home Team NSmen, through the valuable and expert advice from a team of passionate NSmen who are determined to put in place a best-in-class facility for their fellow NSmen. We are excited to bring this sport to an unprecendented level in Singapore and look forward to welcoming our Home Team community to TactSim.”

If you’re wondering what Airsoft is, they’re replica air weapons that share similar components as their real-life counterparts, but they launch 6mm plastic pellets at safe velocities. The gun models in TactSim’s equipment line range from MP5 to M4 and GBB pistols. To ensure the safety of all players, TactSim will also issue protective gear such as vests and masks. Safe Management Measures are also implemented throughout the whole facility, and appropriate measures are in place to ensure that all equipment and high-touch surfaces are thoroughly wiped down and cleaned after every use.
Capacity & Price
While the venue can house a maximum of 27 visitors, it is currently reduced to a maximum of two groups of 5 visitors in compliance with Safe Management Measures. Game modes have also been modified to ensure that there is no intermingling between different groups.
In the initial opening phase, TactSim will only be open to HomeTeamNS members and Home Team-related agencies due to capacity limits but the venue will gradually expand to allow bookings from members of the public.
