Two quick field rules questions

Gcommando · 02-13-2010, 03:31 PM

I have two questions that came to my mind when I read the field rules, could a mod or admin please answer them?

1: What happens if someone has an 8mm BB gun? I don't believe they make .2g 8mm BBs.

2: What is the FPS limit for semi auto AEG sniper rifles? I have been thinking about getting an SR25 (not guaranteeing I'll get it though), so I want to know which spring I should get for it if I do decide to get it.

If a mod could answer these questions that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not a mod but the fps question is still 400fps, unless it is a spring, bolt action rifle, it is 400fps.

Or you could have searched, as both of these questions have been answered NUMEROUS times before.

8mm weights are the same as 6mm weights. Mass does not equal weight. It's a simple math calculation. And yes, they do make .2g BBs in 8mm.

And like Corry already fielded, AEG snipers are still AEGs. So it's 400FPS.

I searched, but nothing came up

Another question also came to mind: Are pocket knives allowed on the field for utility?

Really? Because I tried several different combinations of "8mm BBs FPS limits" and I got a result every time. Same with "AEG Sniper Rifle FPS limits"

What did you try?

And no, pocket knives on the field are restricted. Keep it at the safe zone.

I searched "8mm bb chrono" and "aeg sniper rifle fps."

Okay, just wanted to know then.

Limit your search criteria. You are using too many words. How about just "8mm"?
When using the search function on a message forum, keep it simple and you will have much better results.

Just cause you "searched" doesn't mean you actually read every post to find your answer.
(wow that's sig worthy)

I found all 3 of your answers in about 2 minutes.

Ok everyone made the point that the info WAS lacated and given. No reason to start slapping him around over it.

I've owned several 8mm guns and the lightest 8mm BBs i've seen is .27g. I don't think they make anything lighter than that.

If someone brought an 8mm to the field and told you they were using .20s they lied.
If i'm wrong please show me where they sell .20s in 8mm.
