Competitive But Not Speedsoft

When you can make things yourself you can save a lot as anyone in a trade or profession can atest.

I'm not 100% motivated by money, I work in tech and it's fun to put ideas to the test.

This is the other main reason other your idea will most likely fall apart  People who do businesses as a hobby rarely make it work.

I think 99% percent of people would want just a well maintained small cqb site which you have. That business will work.

The other side is a niche gimmick you could tack on for occasional use but you are looking at it as your main business idea.

That business won't work.

No, the 5v5 is the side bit.

The simple cqb use is the main one

Well get that going and set proper bookable dates. Then people will pay more attention, confirming a game date a week in advance is not good as most people have lives and need to plan.

The more you waffle about the other crap the more you actually put off your real clientele.

Making things yourself saves you the element of paying someone to make something.

But it also takes your time .... that’s what you are paying someone for.

There is also your capacity and resources, there is only so much time in the day.  Another thing you pay someone else to do .... increase the resources 

In a technology solution the majority of the cost is the design, testing and refinement.  That remains whether doing it yourself or paying someone to do it

You've distracted everyone with the hit detection system but the basic idea of a small team objective based competitive games are pretty commonplace over in the European Airsoft world. There are some videos floating around of games in Italy I think and it's basically what you're describing. More realistic kit than speedsoft and slightly slower gameplay with more emphasis on teamwork and the objective than pure speed.
