I’m very fortunate in that the team at my local are either Blue Light or trained by them.  This is also a part of why I’m comfortable carrying an IFAK on site; if I’m not in a position to use it on me I’m confident that they are and would do so sensibly should the need arise.
 
Having seen them spring into action when the need arose (nothing serious, I think someone did a leg or an ankle) they were next to the player with the quad and a trailer within two minutes, with no panic and professionalism.
 
One thing that I do carry on my IFAK which I missed out from my earlier list was a Green Chemlight.  At the Black Site it’s very dark, so green is used exclusively by marshals to identify themselves and/or casualties (Green is safe).  Whilst it’s forbidden to use green illumination if you’re not a marshal, should the worst happen it’ll make finding the casualty easier (and also stop them getting drilled in the dark) until help arrives.

I carry a Tasmanian Tiger IFAK pouch on my belt with an Israeli Bandage, Quick Clot, burn gel (seen many a burnt finger from pyro), gloves, a normal bandage, and some plasters.
 
Having knelt down on all sorts, and having seen Dog Soldiers one too many times I carry it to stop proper bleeding enough to get out of the woods/game zone.  Considering the size of some sites it could take 10 minutes to get first aid to me, and that’s no bueno for a decent bleed.  It’s for me to make sure I’m okay, or for someone else to do the same.  It doesn’t have anything in it that can cause me proper harm before the marshals get there.

I’m tempted to get something thermal to solve the issue, having been suppressed consistently by a ghillie in my last game
 
I don’t care how good you are, you can’t hide from thermal!

Ever since Maddox fell out the back of the Landy at Dover onto his M4 I’ve carried an IFAK.  I can still the subcutaneous fat from the wound

As has been said, it's all very well to load up with the fancy kit, but knowing how to use it is far more important, so if ever offered first aid courses on any level, especially if works paying for them, take them, you might make all the difference one day. 
To the same degree, within reason, someone with training can utilise all sorts of non medical items in order to stabilise a situation, case in point, when a colleague of mine had been shot, properly shot lol, standard wound dressings wouldn't do the job, but packing the wound with my own Compton & Webb beret stopped him bleeding out. 
Fucker still owes me a new beret 🤬

I carry a BFG IFAK with the supplied kit just in case someone starts bleeding I can use the bandages to clean up my sick while checking the area for potential dangers/hazards while bringing the accident to everyone's attention.

On the odd time I’ve found someone wearing something in poor taste I’ve always made sure they were left with no doubt that they were hit
 
Thankfully it’s been years since I’ve seen anyone being silly.  Don’t chuck the sport in.  Are there other sites you could try that have a better vibe?

Heavier BB’s can increase the dwell time of the BB in the barrel and make the RIF more efficient and capable of developing more power.
 
For example, if I gave you a ping-pong ball and asked you to throw it as far as you can, and then gave you a tennis ball and asked you to do the same the tennis ball would go further even though your strength hasn’t changed.
 
This is why good sites chrono based on joules of the ammo you’re using, not 0.2’s for FPS.

That makes sense, however you haven't seen my girly throw.

Fair, the range is very good off them but as I have mine set absolutely on the nose for the 0.25’s allowed as a max at the Black Site I’m loathe to change everything for other weights outdoors.
 
On a still day I would be surprised if you had issues, but as soon as you introduce wind the lack of ammunition means you can’t get into a long range scrap with AEG’s with their larger mags.
 
 
I run Ultrair in my Umarex P8A1 all year round, and whilst it gets close in the proper heat I’ve never had a concern.

I find range and accuracy are on a par with any other gun. Never feel out gunned put it that way 

Yeah looks like it.  After my first proper game with the MP7 and it having a group size of 2985892689431 MOA at 5m with some random gas that came with it I disappeared down the rabbit hole of spec sheets to find one that was ‘dry’, but also didn’t have the aroma additive given to Propane for people to detect leaks.
 
Have you seen the new ASG gasses?  The 178 is absolutely not for anything other than properly cold conditions (even with the NPAS backed out the Chrono just read ‘nope’)  The standard Ultrair is equivalent to the new 135 (which does have silicone in it) for temperature behaviour.
 
Tl;Dr Ultrair (gold/beige can) good

That seemed to me like a very sensible test (I was the one flagging up that Ultrair, according to specs on one site I'd seen it has silicone lube in it.  I'll try to find it.  I don't think I count as the 'hive mind' )
So I tried with the three gases at hand to me right now, squirting them each at a sheet of A4 printer paper:

1) Nuprol 1.0 - made the paper wet with the first shot, but that evaporated leaving no residue.  Subsequent squirts didn't do anything to the paper
2) Abbey Predator Ultra - no wetness, no residue
3) Abbey 144a Maintenance Gas - yay! some white film left on paper, evaporated to leave no lasting effect though
 
So... huh.   Maybe standard gas does have a very low amount of lube in it, such that we can't see it.  Maybe it needs a lot of the gas under continued pressure to make its presence felt?
 
Edit: I tried squirting the gases at hard plastic... again only the Maintenance gas seemed to act differently, leaving a change in appearance, but no change to the fingertip feel.

On the one hand I guess it won't take much change of slipperiness on a hop rubber to affect it.   On the other, it seems unlikely that the short puff of gas for each shot is really going to deposit much of anything on there.
 
Edit2: It seems the American version of Ultrair may contain lube, but not the Euro version.   That's not super-certain either way, but I think I'd take the previous perceived wisdom that Ultrair does not contain lube and go with that.  Apologies.  
 
Edit3: Maybe I apologised too fast   Here's where I got Ultrair has lube in it from...

So Patrolbase put up used the wrong spec sheet and/or cut-and-pasted the info from another page.
 
I've already used Ultrair quite a bit in my VFC GBBR and it seems to work well for me.

I thought I was going mad when you said it had lube in it, but I wasn’t.  Here’s the data sheet for Ultrair that shows no lube https://actionsportgames.com/files/files/ecom/products/Datasheets/14571_safetydatasheet_english.PDF
And here’s the data sheet that’s for their gas with lube in it (note 1% silicone is listed)

Ultrair will sort you out

Scratch that - it didn't hold. 😪

I’ve got my spare too, as I had similar thoughts.  I guess it is possible with a bit of aluminium and some self tapping screws or tiny bolts.  Hmmmmmm…..

Well, new unit arrived and fitted - comparing the two it all makes sense now.  Apart from me not really knowing how that spring does its job, but never mind.
 
What I'm also now thinking, if I can undo the 5 screws on one side, could that plastic wall be reconstructed?  Or will all manner of springs and wizardry come flying out?
 
 
 
If that would be OK, purely from the flying component stand point?  Then we would have a spare unit on hand.
 
Looking at it a bit more, there is sod all material there forming the tunnel for the slider and holding that spring back. I'm wondering, if you can't remove the side panel, if I can just put the slider back in without the spring, build up some material in a way that the slider can still slide, then get the spring back in.
 
Any suggestions on the best thing to use to build up the missing piece of plastic?
