Our Story

Born from a passion for airsoft and a dream to create something extraordinary, MK Airsoft has grown from a single location in Ohio to operating some of the largest indoor airsoft facilities in America.

Where It All Began

Gabriel Schuster grew up with a passion for tactical gameplay. As an avid airsoft player from Brunswick, Ohio, he found himself constantly traveling all over the country just to play the sport he loved. Every trip felt like a journey, and he dreamed of something closer to home—something better.

Together with his brother Caleb Schuster, Gabriel took a leap of faith. In June 2021, they opened the doors to MK Airsoft in Medina, Ohio, a 33,000 square-foot indoor arena built from the ground up with one goal in mind: to create an immersive airsoft experience that hadn't been done before. Since then he has created multiple other state-of-the-art airsoft facilities with immersive experiences.

The response was overwhelming. Both opening weekend days sold out completely. Players from across the region finally had a world-class facility to call home, and the Schuster brothers knew they were onto something special.

"The goal is to get new people in the sport. They can eventually buy equipment and return. We're building a community, not just a business."

— Gabriel Schuster, Founder

Growing Into the Biggest

What started as one location quickly became a regional phenomenon. The Schuster brothers' commitment to quality, safety, and community resonated with players of all ages and skill levels. By their fifth year of operation, MK Airsoft had expanded to multiple locations across Ohio.

In February 2025, they achieved something remarkable: the opening of their Clarksburg, West Virginia facility—a massive 72,000 square-foot arena that became the second largest indoor airsoft field in America.

The Clarksburg location features innovations that set it apart: two-story buildings enabled by 24-foot ceilings, three buses and multiple cars creating realistic mock street scenarios, and an environment that even law enforcement agencies use for tactical training.

Today, MK Airsoft operates three locations serving thousands of players every week, but the mission remains the same: deliver unforgettable experiences and grow the airsoft community.
