I'll be late, that is my drill weekend, should be there around 1300 hours.

[Dutch]

Get in free if you fill 50 sandbags this Thursday.

Meet us at WMI Airsoft at 5:30pm.

[trotsky]

splendid more sandbags! i'll be there.

[Andy]

Roger that, I too will be there, but a little late.

[The Guardian]

Me and my boys will hopefully be out, working around work... hopefully we will have 4 or 5 this time.

[Savage]

Just a heads up for everyone attending this event-

To provide everyone with a more enjoyable experience that is more realistic, we're going to start enforcing the mag limits we came up with a long time ago....

You may carry-
1 Hicap or
3 midcaps or
5 standards or
as many star mags you like

Loose bb's and bb loaders are ok to bring on the field.

In addition to providing a more realistic experience it should also balance play just a bit better.

Please remember, this is not a discussion thread to voice your opinions on this policy....

Thank you!

Hey, for a Systema, are their mags considered mid-caps or standards? If considered a mid cap, why buy so many mags? Will this limit be enforced in all upcoming events? Thanks, Jazz.

[kdogg]

120rd anything is concidered mid-cap from any info I've ever seen. Why buy some many mags? To make someone more money? Seriously, no clue.

Diffrent events also vary the round/mag counts too.

Systema 120round mags will be considered mid-caps.

Maybe for attending events not held by ACO or in case you have a mag failure. Other than that I can't think of a good reason.

To improve the game, that is the intention at this time.

[kdogg]

So who all plans to come to ACO on the 25th? Hopefully there is a large turn out. I've got a friend who is ex military who wants to come check things and is bugging me to go and bring him. I'm hoping it's a good game

[Kalashnikov]

I plan to be there.
And you can expect me at WMI at 17:30 on Thursday as well.

[Bishop]

ACO encourages ammunition limitations at all Monthly community events but it is in no way required. The community events are intended to be quick fun games that everyone can participate in and enjoy. The ammunition limitations are only enforced at the ACO scenario games such as the past W.A.R.M. game or the up coming Fog of War.
The confusion was not the fault of Savages but mine.

[CrossBones]

Ok just a few questions,

1: I have this protective vest that I usually wear, will that be ok to bring?

2: Is there an FPS that your gun can not be above/bellow?




Thanks. ;D

To the best of my knowledge, ACO adheres to the MIA engagement rules as stated here: (You can find these in the Rules and Regulations section of the forum)

Article 15: The following are the minimum distance engagement limits for airsoft replicas. This is the closest a player can engage another player with a replica rated in the following feet per second (fps) categories using full-auto, semi-auto, or single shot capability. See Article 16 for extremely close quarter player elimination.

OUTDOOR/OPEN FIELD ENGAGEMENT LIMITS

• 1.0 - 350.9 fps - Arms length engagement limit


• 351.0 - 410.9 fps - 20 foot engagement limit


• 411.0 - 550.9 fps – 50 foot engagement limit, bolt action or permanent* semi-auto replicas only


• 551.0+ fps - Prohibited or allowed with permission of event organizer only

*Permanent semi-auto refers to replicas that do not have full-auto fire capability, no matter how the selector switch or other user input device is manipulated.

INDOOR/CLOSE QUARTER BATTLE (CQB)/ENCLOSED FIELD ENGAGEMENT LIMITS

• 1.0 - 350.9 fps – Arms length engagement limit


• 351.0+ fps – prohibited or allowed with permission of event organizer only

Engagement limits are based on averaged fps readings using .20 gram weight bb’s only. The method for acquiring an airsoft replica’s average fps is to fire multiple (more than 2) shots through a chronograph, record the readings, add the fps readings together and divide by the total number of readings.
Gas operated airsoft replicas should be chronographed using a “warm” ambient temperature gas supply (i.e. magazine), or with heating device functioning if used during the cold season.
No allowance is made for airsoft replicas that have an average reading close to the lower end of the next highest fps category. Example- if the replica has an average reading of 351.5 fps it falls within the 20 foot engagement limit.
