Gun Clearing Guide

▪ Remove the magazine from the gun

▪ Discharge the gun in the dry fire box 3 to 5 times* times on semi-auto to ensure the chamber is clear.

* Airsoft guns with a large number of remaining bbs require more shots to be completely cleared.

Example P90 etc.

▪ Safety selector/catch put to safe

 

Gas & Spring guns.

 

▪ Remove the magazine from the gun

▪ Rack the gun until the chamber is empty.

One hit and you are out, if a BB hits any part of your body this includes airsoft guns and equipment such as plate carriers this should be declared as a hit.

Once hit you must walk back to the Safety area or wait to respawn (Depending on game type). Try to walk with your Airsoft gun lowered and your hands in the air to avoid confusing other players. HIT players are classed as dead. Dead players cannot talk or interact with other active players until respawn.

If you are unsure if you have been “HIT” the best practice is to call yourself HIT anyway.

If it can be clearly judged as a ricochet this is NOT classed as a HIT.
