B.R.A.V.E. GAME RULES
We have put together this set of field rules and regulations for your safety, please read and observe the following.
Section I – Age Requirement
Age 18 and Older
• If you are 18 or older, you are considered an adult and can therefore accept responsibility of your own actions and sign your own waiver. Your waiver will be on file and good for as long as you are a member.
NO WAIVER, NO PLAY, NO EXCEPTION!
Section II – Eye Protection
Eye protection is absolutely required at all times while on the field or firing range on the field. The following are a few specific guidelines to ensure your safety.
For all events full seal eye enclosure is mandatory. B.R.A.V.E. will disapprove all shooting glasses or safety glasses. If your Eye protection can not stop an AEG shooting 400fps at point blank range AND are not full seal, do not bring them.
If your glasses are removed during the game, disciplinary action will have to be taken. We take your safety very seriously.
Section III – Cheating
Getting shot is easy; having fun is not when the enemy becomes invincible.
Cheating will not be tolerated. We have implemented a very simple system for eliminating cheaters. If you are caught not calling hits, you will be called out and/or ejected from the field. Hopefully this will crack down on the cheating that we all have experienced at one time or another. How to call a player out will be discussed below and at our game day briefing.
Section IV – General Field Guidelines & Game Day Briefing
B.R.A.V.E. have some very simple guidelines that must be followed in order to play.
• Please do not talk during rules or game briefings. If you have a question, raise your hand.
• Treat your airsoft gun like you would a real firearm. DO NOT point your gun in the direction of others while game play is not under way. Even if you think it’s unloaded, even if it’s on safety, keep that gun either pointed at the ground or toward the sky.
• Target practice is only allowed on the designated area.
• Mags out and safeties on while game play is not underway.
• Pistols may be loaded while in a holster and M203 shells may NOT be stored loaded in the barrel in between games, they may be stored loaded in a pouch.
• CALL YOUR HITS!!! When struck by a BB yell “HIT!” Hold your hand or gun in the air so the individual shooting at you knows to stop shooting at you, then immediately put your red rag on your head. Gun hits DO NOT count and neither do ricochets, everything else does.
• The minimum engagement distance is 20ft for guns shooting up to 400fps and 100ft for sniper rifles shooting 401-550fps.
• Do not blind fire. Example: If you are on one side of a structure and think someone may be on the other side, don’t stick your gun around the wall and fire without looking as you shoot.
• Bunker Clearing or Grenade rule, how to do it. Bang on any bunker with your hand, yell grenade and every play in (or under) that bunker is hit. This rule applies only to man made bunkers.
• Do not play thru the parking lot; do not shoot over the parking lot. If you enter the parking lot during game play you must re-enter the game from your re-spawn area by finding your medic. The parking lot is the only safe zone during game play; the staging area next to the parking lot is not a safe zone and goggles must be worn during games.
• Stay 40 feet away from the main highway. There is no fence to mark property lines, if you can see a private home you are to close and need to make your way back to the playing field.
• Dead men don’t talk. Players are cheating if they give away tactical info after being shot.
• If you tag an opposing player, that is considered a hit.
• All goggles must be full seal, no shooting glasses. If you are on the playing field, DO NOT remove eye protection during game play. This is your 1st warning, if you take off your eye protection you will be taken out of the playing field.
• At the end of each game ALL players need to yell "GAME OVER, MAGS OUT!" At that point, remove the mag, point the gun in the air and pull the trigger to remove any BBs from the barrel. Then place mag in pocket or pouch.
• How to deal with players who you think may not be calling their hits. If you suspect a player is not calling his/her hits DO NOT cuss, scream or tell them that they are hit. You must ask “ARE YOU HIT?” If the opposing player answers with “NO” you have to keep shooting, move to a different place and engage after several attempts are made.
• Identification system: Teams will be given a color, if you want to try and determine who is friend and who is foe, call out the color of your team. If you have come upon an opposing player he doesn’t have to reply but he cannot lie about his team color.
• Never give the impression that you are hit if that is not the case.
• No intentional destruction of Property with BB’s, hands or feet, etc.
• Foul, intimidating or abusive language is not allowed. Out of control tempers will not be tolerated on the field. If someone speaks to you in an inappropriate manner, bite your tongue. If you respond to inappropriate language with inappropriate language you have just inflamed the situation and both players will come off the field to discuss the matter with a member of the field staff.
• FIELD MARSHALS: Field Marshals are trusted players who concern themselves with safety issues and work to keep the game/s flowing smoothly. Field Marshals are NOT referees; they are not looking to enforce honest play. The enforcement of honest play is up to each and every player.
• Fighting, Aggressive physical contact is absolutely banned. Fighting will result in an immediate EJECTION from the event. The police may be called. You will be BANNED FOR LIFE from any event and we will forward your info to all other airsoft field operators. Again, we take everyone's safety very seriously.
Section V. – Field FPS Regulations
We have come to set the following as field limits for your safety.
AEG’s will be set to a field max of 450 FPS using .20 BB’s and 420 FPS using .25 BB’s.
Bolt action snipers rifles will be set to a field max of 550 FPS, using .25 BB’s.
Modified AEGs such as PSG-1s that shoot over 400 FPS must be modified to fire only on semi auto and the use of low capacity magazines is a must. If you have one of these guns, please inform the Team Airsoft staff before you take to the field with it.
ABSOLUTELY NO CO2 POWERED WEAPONS/GUNS
AEG’s on field games must observe a 20-foot minimum shooting distance (surrender rule/safety kill). This is a no-tolerance policy. If you are carrying a weapon shooting 400 FPS, and are caught making close quarter shots, you could be suspended for the day, and upon the second offense, extended/permanent suspension will be considered.
Bolt action guns, or previously mentioned modified AEGs, must observe a 100-foot minimum shooting distance. Due to the extra speed on the Bolt weapons, one infraction will result in loss of use of the weapon for the day, upon the second offense, permanently. (Side note – If you are a “Sniper” why would you be on the front line anyway?) Remember, sniper weapons are limited to lowcap mags only. This means, no G3 500 round hicaps on PSG-1’s.
