Am I right when I say that:
As far as I know, the original rule was 500 fps at all fields and 550 fps for Sacair sanctioned snipers. (Excluding the CQB field, which does not, generally speaking, permit sniper rifles.) I think the 550 fps was at the discretion of the game admin. I'm just flat out running 550 fps for all my games, as many sniper rifles are hard to regulate. Particularly the gas powered ones. They can chrono with 134a, then switch to green gas during play. :? That's before we even factor in changes in temperature. They may chrono 495 fps in the morning and, by noon, chrono 580 fps with the same gun using the same gas.
Hmm.. ok well I guess we can get it pinned down or something.
i'm cool w/ either 500 or 550 for snipers. What i'd change is the "sanctioned sniper" and just put all of them on the same playin field. or require all snipers to pass a basic distance test to remind them of thier minimum shooting distance.
I agree with Dave in putting everyone one the same rule. I say 550 for bolt actions and 500 for single shot AEG's. I've been loose with sniper rifles as wel for the very reasons Kevin stated.
Behold the Coolness That Is John
I have no problems with the sniper fps limits.
Look, I'm a politician, which means I lie, and I'm a cheat.
