Airsoft Site Rules

1. Arrival and departure:

1. As our site is not accessible to the general public as an open site, in order to gain entry you must have booked your place for the date you wish to attend via our on line booking system.
2. Follow the directions on our website and wait in the holding/parking area outside the main buildings. Sign your disclaimer forms, which are located in the small disclaimer hut, until you are escorted into the main site and issued with your kit.
3. Those airsoft players arriving with their own weapons MUST ensure ALL guns are covered or boxed during arrival and departure. We do not want to see players removing guns from their cars whilst waiting outside. The temptation to show off the weapons and maybe even fire the odd friendly fire shot at your mates whilst waiting around can often prove too tempting. Please use common sense.
4. Players will not bring onto the site any real, deactivated or bladed weapons or inappropriate (non-airsoft) pyrotechnics. Bayonets, samurai swords and machetes have no place in airsoft games. ONLY airsoft weaponry is acceptable. NO EXCEPTIONS. If in doubt, ask us. We don’t bite.
5. At the end of the day all players must wait to be discharged from the site after ensuring all equipment, clothing and weapons have all been returned. Should you do so and we subsequently discover items missing, it is to you that we shall look for recompense! Remember, we will have your address but we are of course confident no one would ever do such a thing – would they?

2. Site weapon limits:
1. The site limit is 350fps for all weapon types (AEG, gas, spring), measured with .20g BB’s - this is an absolute limit not a figure to aim for.
2. All guns will be chronoed each day, with .20g BB’s - we will provide magazines loaded with 0.20g ammo.
3. Guns that fail by any margin (even 1fps) will not be able to be used.
4. Velocity reducers are not permitted since they only reduce the velocity of the first couple of shots of a burst, beyond that the membrane is unable to close fast enough to catch the BBs and therefore many subsequent rounds go through at whatever the uninhibited power of the gun is.
5. There is no limit to BB weight except for when chronoing. However, only 6mm Biodegradable BB’s can be used on site (Excel or equivalent or our own BB’s).
6. 8mm BB's may not be used. This is due to the lack of 0.20g 8mm BB's for use in chronoing. (Unless otherwise agreed in advance or on special scenarios).
7. Worth noting if you are upgrading an AEG; a 1 joule spring should keep you well within these limits, whilst an M100 or equivalent may fall either side of the 350fps limit. Worth bearing in mind.
8. Two-tone guns which have been spray-painted or otherwise converted so that they become realistic imitation firearms (RIFs), as opposed to imitation firearms (IFs), are not permitted. This is regardless of your site membership or UKARA registration status. Unmodified two-tones are allowed.

3. Safety:
1. A full safety briefing will be given each and every day – if you have any questions, please ask a marshal who will be happy to help.
   Even if you have been our site many times, or are an airsoft veteran and heard the safety briefing over and over, please remain quiet so that the new players around you can hear. It could be you who suffers if you prevent others from hearing the safety rules.
2. We have ‘Dead Box’s’ on each battlefield zone but these are often mistakenly named as ‘Safe Zones’ at other airsoft sites. They are clearly designated within each battlefield zone but we stress ours are termed ‘Dead Boxs’ as it is not safe as you still have your weapons and other shots could still inadvertently enter the area.
3. Prior to entering the ‘Dead Box’, magazines should be removed, actions cleared and weapons made safe. This includes removal of moscart shells.
4. All games are marshalled by dedicated and knowledgeable staff who will be wearing hi-visibility garments. Listen to their instructions, and please follow their orders.
5. Approved safety masks or glasses must be worn at all times entering, leaving and within the battlefield areas and whilst walking to and from the zones and main base area. If your own eye protection is not considered appropriate you will be issued with a full face mesh mask. Your eye protection should be on before you pass through the safe zone area of the base camp, where we have a nice big sign which says ‘Goggles on’ and stay on until you are back inside. 'Goggle lifting' during games is not acceptable and will count as a strike under the three strikes rule. See rule 2 again. If you are steamed up, speak to a marshal. You will be allowed to return to the game after clearing your goggles in the ‘Dead Box’.
6. We strongly recommend the wearing of an approved full face mask, though approved goggles or glasses can be worn by players aged 16+ at the wearers risk.
7. Plastic framed Oakley glasses are not approved eye protection Metal framed Oakley glasses designed to protect from the eyes from high speed impacts are acceptable.
8. Any discharging of guns in safe areas may result in immediate expulsion.
9. Only pyrotechnics approved or provided by us can be used on the site. Pyrotechnics (smoke and BB grenades) can only be sold to and used by players aged 18 or over, it's the law - if you look young and want pyro, bring ID. Homemade or home-modified pyrotechnics are illegal, anyone found to be using such items will be escorted from the site and permanently banned.
10. Areas of the site of potential risk, such as the building roofs etc are out of bounds. These areas will be identified in the safety briefing; one of the reasons it is important that everyone is able to hear it. You may receive a strike under the three strikes rule if you are found to be obviously out of bounds.

4. Miscellaneous:
1. We welcome anyone over 16, or 14 if they have an accompanying guardian or a signed consent form to our events. If you appear to be below the age limit we will ask you for suitable ID, so please bring some. If you cannot provide ID and we believe that you are below the age limit, you will be escorted from the site. This is not negotiable and we are not willing to void our insurance by operating outside of its terms. If you look younger than you need to be to play, bring appropriate ID.
2. We can hire out all the equipment needed (AEG, mask, coveralls), but insist that people bring their own sensible footwear – boots or supportive trainers are a must. Some bookings and packages include full equipment and weapon hire.
3. Whilst on the site you agree to being photographed, video recorded or having your image captured by any other means. These images may be published and distributed via the internet or in any other medium for promotional purposes unless expressively requested not be photographed prior to arrival.
4. Smoking is not permitted within any structures on the site. Smoking is permitted in open areas back at the base camp in designated areas only.

5. By booking your place with us you are signifying that you have read and agree to be bound by these rules. These rules may be changed without notice and all changes will appear on this page.
6. Safety and security will always take precedence over gaming.
