I would like to open this subject up for discussion.

I was pondering why we haven't seen more groups adopt these techniques, given their many advantageous in an airsoft environment over the standard "dynamic entry" techniques.

These advantageous include:
1) BBs cannot shoot through walls, allowing us to remain safe from one of the techniques key flaws: the possibility of being shot through the wall/door frame.
2) In the situation that a member of the entry team is hit whilst performing a dynamic entry, you are left with the option to either lower your weapon and continue moving into the room as though you were not hit (potentially violating your fields rules) or halting in the door way, possibly being pushed, tripped, used as a kind of "human shield" (which may be interpreted as cheating) or clocked in the back of the head with somebodies muzzle. Limited penetration alleviates all of these potential problems.
3) Less men are required to clear a room from the doorway, this will increase the overall speed of the team in question and allow for more versatile tactics when you lack a standard 4 man element.
4) This style of room clearing is much easier to teach to strangers you might encounter on the field.

So guys, what are your thoughts? Do these tactics have a place in airsoft? What might be the downfall of these strategies in an airsoft environment? Why do you suppose we haven't seen more groups adopt this style of room clearing?

Also, this is my first post... so take it easy on me, eh?
