-
Sealed eye protection is required, and must be warn at all times during games, no exceptions. Acceptable goggles include:
- goggles with lenses that meet ANSI Z87.1 standards
- punched steel mesh googles
- Sealed eye protection with lenses are required during CQB, no exceptions. Mesh or punched goggles of any kind are not allowed during CQB.
- All questional goggles are subject a 1.85 joule test at point-blank range prior to use in game.
- Full-face or mouth protection is optional but highly recommended, at the players own risk.
- Full-face protection is required during CQB events, no exceptions.
- "Real Steel" firearms are NEVER permitted on the field, nor are they to be brought to games.
- Airsoft guns must be transported to and from the field in some sort of gun case in the trunk or storage area of a vehicle.
- While players are in the loading zone or off of the field between games, guns must have magazines removed and barrel plugs in place.
- All guns to be used in game are subject to chronographing with .20g rounds before use.
- The maximum field limit is 400fps with .20g rounds for all guns, except designated Marksmen rifles (DMR).
- The maximum CQB limit is 330fps with .20g rounds for all guns.
- The maximum DMR limit is 600fps with .20g rounds.
- Designated Sniper Rifles shooting greater than 400fps, but not more than 600fps, will not engage other players within a 100 foot safety zone. These guns must be limited to bolt-action, and low capacity magazines. DMR's and their users will be approved by our team for use on our fields on a case-by-case basis.
- Airsoft is a game of honor. Call yourself out when hit. Do not call other player's hits. Do not call someone else out even if you are certain they were hit.
- If there are multiple instances of a player appearing to blatantly disregard their hits, we request that this be brought to our attention so that we can come to a resolution with the player, or ask the player in question to leave.
- If a player surrenders themself during a game or skirmish, it MUST be honored without exceptions. This is a safety issue.
- A red cloth must be brought for use as identification of inactive status while in game. This is known as a dead-rag. The dead-rag is to be placed on top of the players head after being hit, surrendering, or if they wish to remove themself from a live game. Players with a dead-rag must NOT be shot while they are exiting the field.
- After a player is out, they are no longer allowed to communicate with other players that are still in game. This includes: talking, hand signals, or gestures.
- Rubber non-sharp training knives can be used for "Ranger Kills", however, they must be used in a tapping motion, not a stabbing or slashing motion.
- Any misuse of airsoft weapons or personal actions resulting in an injury to another, or negative involvement with law enforcement, will result in banning from our fields and games.
