Est. 2007 

• Concerning Unarmed Combatants: An unarmed combatant, being unable to cause harm to you or your team, has two options: unconditional surrender or neutralization. If the combatant chooses surrender, he may not be assaulted. If he is, violation will result in automatic disqualification from the match. Additional disciplinary action may be applied depending on the severity of the infraction.
• Concerning unarmed civilians: These persons must not be assaulted. Should you assault them in any physical way involving your weapon, you will be automatically disqualified from the match, and additional disciplinary action may be applied depending on the severity of the infraction.

• Concerning Overwhelming firepower: Any automatic weapon exceeding or equal to 330 FPS (collectively, "overcompensators") must adhere to specific rules:
  • Unless the opposing force is equally geared, overcompensators must be kept in semi automatic firing mode, and fired at no faster than one second intervals.
  • If only one member on each side wields an overcompensator, these weapons must be kept in semi automatic mode, however they may be fired at any attainable rate.
  • Players overcompensating must not charge an opposing force unless the opposing force has equal or better gear.

Amendment 1-A2 (9/8/09) | Re-Amendmened(2/25/10)

• Concerning Overwhelming firepower: Any automatic weapon exceeding or equal to 390 FPS (collectively, "overcompensators") must adhere to specific rules:
  • Unless the opposing force is equally geared, overcompensators must be kept in semi automatic firing mode, and fired at no faster than one second intervals.
  • If only one member on each side wields an overcompensator, these weapons must be kept in semi automatic mode, however they may be fired at any attainable rate.
  • Players overcompensating must not charge an opposing force unless the opposing force has equal or better gear.

• Concerning Under Geared combatants (collectively, "spring weapons"): These soldiers are most obviously unable to compete with the firepower of heavily geared opponents, and for that reason they are granted special privileges:
  • These soldiers endurance is increased; they are allowed 100% more health (e.g. ten [10] hits as opposed to the normal five [5]).
  • These soldiers are allowed immunity to damage while reloading their weapon.

Amendment 2-A3 (9/8/09) | Re-Amendmened(2/25/10)

• Concerning Under Geared combatants (collectively, "spring weapons"): These soldiers are most obviously unable to compete with the firepower of heavily geared opponents, and for that reason they are granted special privileges:

• These soldiers endurance is increased; they are allowed 100% more health (e.g. three [3] hits as opposed to the normal one [1]). This only applies if designated at time of play.(added 2/25/09)
• These soldiers are allowed immunity to damage while reloading their weapon.

• Concerning combatants now removed from the match: These soldiers no longer have the ability to damage another soldier’s health, and so they cannot be shot. These soldiers have equal rights as “Unarmed Civilians”, and will be treated as such.

•  Concerning the surrender (commonly known as “Safety Kill”): A combatant who has been charged, and is within unethical kill range (refer to the chart below for the kill ranges per gun) may shout safety kill or surrender. After surrendering, he is removed from the current match. This soldier is now under the same restrictions as an Unarmed Civilian, and also under the same protection. If someone deliberately runs within the unethical kill range, or if they are snuck up on and they choose not to surrender, they are automatically placed one (1) hit from death and will receive a free pass back to their starting point (flags may not be carried this way).
  • Unethical kill ranges per weapon:
    • 0 - 200 FPS: Unrestricted. You may be legally shot at any range from these guns. Surrender will only be accepted from distances less than fifteen (15) feet.
    • 201 - 300 FPS: Fifteen (15) feet or closer.
    • 301 - 400 FPS: Twenty (20) feet or closer.
    • 401 - ∞ FPS: Twenty-five (25) feet or closer.

Amendment 3-A5 (2/25/10)

• Unethical kill ranges per weapon:
  • 0 - 200 FPS: Unrestricted. You may be legally shot at any range from these guns. Surrender will only be accepted from distances less than fifteen (5) feet.
  • 201 - 300 FPS: Fifteen (10) feet or closer.
  • 301 - 400 FPS: Twenty (15) feet or closer.
  • 401 - ∞ FPS: Twenty-five (25) feet or closer.

• Concerning foreign weaponry: Weaponry not considered an “Airsoft” weapon is restricted from use. These weapons include a blinding flash of light, a Paintball gun, a pellet or BB gun, or any other weapons not firing 6mm plastic or paint BBs. Obvious weapon restrictions include weaponry that could cause actual, permanent harm to one’s body. This includes flagrant violations of the unethical kill range. Severe disciplinary action will take place on anyone who seeks to ignore this rule.

• Concerning “Shotgun” effect: A shotgun effect weapon (IE an Airsoft gun not intended to fire more than two (2) BBs being somehow manipulated to do so) is disqualified for the duration of 10 minutes, or until round end. If one is struck by more than two (2) BB’s fired from such a system, this person is granted immunity to all damage caused by the attack.
