I run .30s - the max allowed for pistols and assault rifles at my fields. Semi-locked DMRs can do .36 and BARs are free to throw whatever, as long as it’s 6mm and made of plastic.

Whats upbwith bb weight limits? Glad my local fields dont try to tell me how to live my life. Still, mostly .28's for my 1911

Their point is to make it more of an rpg experience than just a shoot-out and make room for variation in replicas.

There is little point in bringing a sniper rifle, when you can bring a tricked out AEG that can shoot just as far. Little point in bringing a 25 pound mg42, when a stubby m4 can throw BBs up the field at the same rate.

So rifles are limited to .30. DMRs of 7.62 or higher are allowed .40. BASRs have no limits and SMGs under 1J are allowed burst fire and LMGs are granted full auto cover fire, but are limited to .25s.

The most useful and versatile gun is still the rifle, but every replica has its role.

Yeah, it's trying to make it more realistic at the cost of making some stuff suck a whole lot

You’d think so, but it doesn’t happen to be the effect.

I guess...They still have joule limits in place to distinguish classes. I love that its not like paintball where everyone has essentially the same gun. But I thought bb weight was kinda limited by power anyway, so a 1J pistol would spit a .45 very far. Never tried tho. Still when my big tarded six shooter gets here I'm loading that puppy up with .45's

My 1J pistol shoots .30s 60 meters. Range/Precision is more an effect of the hop system and BB weight, less so the energy from the gun. Hence the limit on BB weights on the ‘fast’ guns.
