Fps/Joule Limit

I think sites in the south need to rethink there DMR rules for woodland/ outside games as I’ve had my m4 dmr for 2years. I played today with it and was told it’s to hot 370fps 1.41J on a 0.32 BB the site lim is 1.40J. Around my way the site limits range from no J just 420fps. 1.64J no fps stated, 1.40j or the best one is a site that banned dmr but snipers can run at 500fps

i think the uk law is 450fps & 1.85j For a dmr

 
First of all; big necropost. ?

Secondly; UK law doesn't recognise DMRs or anything like that regarding Airsoft.

You have the legal limit for single action and semi automatic at 2.5J iirc, but for safety's sake, sites will obviously set it at a lower level, which for DMRs is generally anything from 1.48 to 1.88J (Approx 400 to 450fps when measured on a 0.20), or 2.3J for single action rifles, but that's for safety & insurance.

I think snipers have a longer m.e.d.

Than dmr.

 
That's where you went wrong, please don't do it again 

From what I can decipher from that word salad is that you're moaning that you took a hot gun to a site and couldn't use it. Next time check beforehand as not every site has the same power limits

Our local site dmr and sniper have the same 30m med. That said dmr power limit is 1.9j so you can mix it with the snipers. 

Tested my GBBR L119 A2 'long' dmr build this evening at 1.76j on .40's , that'll do ?

It is a total mess for DMR's though. Honestly the reason I'm looking into HPA, so I can adjust to DMR limits or run at 1.1j depending on the site. 

Also

370fps 1.41J on a 0.32 BB
None of this makes sense. 370fps on a .32 is 2j.

Beat me to it.

We need a holy war to convert fps heretics on pain of being point blanked with 0.48g from a Joule-creeping sniper that's "Only 500fps with twos, mate."
