I think I like Lisa's idea,but I try to NOT aim for the face (unless the have a full mask),just because we had a team mate loose three teeth at close range because of a heat of the moment battle.
I'm just wounder why Lisa might mention that lol,maybe it's the samething as when my Wife came and played CQB and eveyone was aiming for her ass,yeh she was pissed and No it wasent me lol.

Been there done that, its fun (for us not them)

[gmds44]

Province: QUEBEC

OUTDOORS

FPS LIMIT ON ANY AEG/GBB : 400 fps (.20) (full/semi)
Protection: MINIMUM: protection glasses
FPS LIMIT ON SNIPER RIFLES : 450 fps(.20)

INDOORS:

FPS LIMIT ON ANY AEG/GBB : 350fps (.20) (full/semi)
PROTECTION: BALLISTIC GOGGLES/PAINTBALL MASKS
Sniper rifles are/should not be allowed in indoors.

THESE SHOULD BE THE RULES THAT APPLY ALL ACROSS CANADA

I live in the montreal area, and since there's no OUTDOOR fields near by, I only play indoors.

[Hectic]

Just to add a bit to this I think these are standard rules for Ontario.
The Sniper Course:
lvl 2 will allow for an
FPS of 500 with .20s
with a safe range of 200ft body only 220ft head shot (if the head shot is really required we would rather wait for someone to slip up and show us a nice big and SAFE target but as we all know some folks will stick out there head all day long and not give you a choice)
the lvl 3 is (not posative) 450 with .36s
and the range is increased to(again not sure) 300 body only 330 head shot

keep in mind many fields do not support such long engagements

and all of these above rules are at the discretion of the field owners and the hosts of the game and any certified sniper that causes an injury or acts like a moron will likely be stripped of any certification and put back to 450 with .20s like any one else

[Kokanee]

The LZ field in Ottawa is pretty simple;

400fps full auto; and
450 Bolt Action.

[Malice Army]

The paintball field owner in Niagara told me his Insurance provider covers only if the velocity is 350fps or lower. So in Niagara ALL guns shoot "350fps" , off coarse they never asked about bb wieght.

We dont have a CQB location anymore those numbers are from roughly 8 years ago when so they are a bit out of date.

And as for the certification i could never understand why someone with a certification should be able to shoot hotter than anyone else and what makes these so called certifications the Be all and end all of snipers no offence to the Instructers but what is it that makes the people who attend able to shoot hot. To me it just sounds Unfair unless you get a certification from someone who literally is just another airsofter who has been a sniper for a couple years. Certification should be automatic after X amount of years or time played as one. This is not a rant or a shot at anyone this is just an opinion and a enigma i could never wrap my head around... A person Certs another and now he can shoot 500+FPS I have been shooting for almost 5 years with no certs and i cannot. makes no freakin sense... I shouldnt need someone elses approval or dissaproval as to weather i can handle it and use my own judgement.

[AngelusNex]

Games I host are pretty much 400 fps limit but I allow over that as long as those using them watch their MEDs. Also invite only games so those who do stupid shit are not invited again. and sadly we do not allow pyro as the field is too small and has house not too far from the edges of the property (within range to hear the gun shot like pop) which could result in "OMG somebody started shooting at those guys playing in the forest, 911"
No indoors sadly though. been over time, starting to build up little bits of a village though.

[dutch13]

I really hate to say this,but alittle hotter fps helps with people that don't call there hits I know it's not the right way to look at it ,but....
I see some hotter fps limits and I think you would really have to see the area there being used in to make any kind of judgment,but thats just me. Ower games have been I think pretty standard.
400 fps Full auto(outdoors)
350 fps indoors
470 fps Semi (I might be alittle of on this one)
I do think that I'v seen a bit of a trend with hotter pistols showing up at games !
Have to remember that nothings written in stone for any given area

it's 425 with .2s now cupcake...time to change out that cylinder on the gold plated ptw ha ha.

[Death March]

Yeh,but the date of that post was 08'.So it's all good now
