If I may offer some constructive feedback, I don't see any info about joule limits on weapons, maximum ammo weight (if there is one), MED on full auto/burst fire, if DMR/bolt action is allowed, etc.

I get that most sites have a <1.14J limit on assault rifles, SMGs and pistols but there are exceptions nobody wants to be caught out by as some smaller/CQB sites have different restrictions.

Thank you for that. Funny thing just had that conversation. Yes totally right I will get that posted about fps limits

Will confirm on weight as we do sell up .48g

Yes semi game site but we do allow burst fire 3 second bursts but u will get that updated on the website

 

[Austeyr]

It's a shame walk-ons isn't allowed, I was hoping to check it out as it's about an hour away down the A120 but it only takes an accident on the road and I'd be out £25

I do allow walkons but if we get over limit we may have to turn you away. As we are a new site in dont want to do that but if u do want cone a long let me know I do have a list of walkons atm welcome to add your name down

Your website states:
"Always be aware of your minimum engagement distances (MED)"
What are the MEDs?

"semi game site but we do allow burst fire 3 second bursts"
Do the three second bursts only apply to support weapons or can all weapons use a three second burst outside an MED?

I am really hoping to get to the site on Saturday, but am not sure if I will be able to. If not, I will get there when I can.

Depending on the gun a 3 second burst can put a shit load of BBs in the air ( some guns could empty a mid cap in 3 seconds). If its a semi only I would go with a 3 in the air rule.

Hopfully you can make it bit dont worry next game on 30th

Most sites I have played they have allowed 3 second burst but I will consider 15 meter engagement

If it is a three second burst, it isn't semi only. The other problem with that is that 15m is not very far and airsofters are crap at assessing distance. I would either go for longer (30m?) or just keep it as semi only, except for 3 second bursts from support weapons with an MED.

This, 100%. Having "Semi only" but 3 second bursts of auto is just going to lead to people full autoing anyway then bullshitting when called out. Either semi only (No binary), or both semi and auto. No middle ground is viable, easy to marshal or maintain.

Yep! Having spent more than enough time marshalling at two sites, one thing I have learned is that simple rules are best.

I know what u are saying but 350 fps doest require an engagement but u are correct getting players to est a safe distance fir full auto burst . Technically burst doesn't require. But if u are defending an outpost chances are won't allow burst fire in A compound but on the day head marshal will decide whats safe and whats not

But will liaise with head marshal about this

 

[Colin Allen]

It isn't really about what is required; it is about what makes a good game day for both players and marshals. Expecting players to remember rules on firing in different areas is asking for problems, arguments and tantrums.

I think there are three realistic options for rifles and SMGs:

1. Do whatever you want at any range.
2, Semi only.
3. Semi at under xx metres, where xx is somewhat more than 15m; three second bursts or full auto above that.

I agree with u im a semi guy but still have the issues with lmg which will have 3 seconds burst

 

[Colin Allen]

Give LMGs an MED that is long enough that some muppet will not hose a 14 year old rental at 10m. Perhaps 20m or 30m; neither is particularly far.

Coming from somebody who runs an LMG 99% of the time I'm out on the field, a 20m MED is more than fine. Nobody wants 30 rounds to the face, the 20m gives both players enough space to take the other out safely and if the LMG gunner doesn't have a side arm then their only option is to fall back which opens up a window for them to get taken out (Also helps balance the field, if the LMG gunner is good at his job)

For guns running at 1.13j? Fuck that, we play to get shot at, not run around shouting bang bang at each other. I'm not saying overkill is ok but if people are going to bitch about a short burst at 10m then they should find another hobby

Understand that I never had an issue engagement with burst fire but its more common sense if u pepper a 14 year old full auto.

Im sure it will be fine . Subject what game we are playing
