Field Limit FPS Speed, Warrior L96?

In Calgary, with the JOC club, the limit for a bolt action is 480 FPS. You'll have to check the clubs and fields you play at.

some fields allow 450 for BA sniper rifles, if you can get it down to that level you should be ok

not only will you have to lower the FPS but you'll need to be certified to game the BA.

on certain fields yes, especially if you haven't played with the guys running the game before

Putting heavyer BBs to lower the velocity don't make the gun field legal or safer.

Fps should be chronied with .20g as a benchmark. If you cheap the guy at the chronograph, IMO, it's enough to be banned from the game.

Just downgrade the spring a little, and defiantly don't try to cheat the Chronies using anything besides .20grams. That will most defiantly get you kicked out, or banned.

What Fox is saying, is that FPS limits are based on joules of force, not the speed of the bb.
I mean when you think about it, wouldn't limiting the speed be kind of ridiculous? lol
Make sure your under 400fps so the guy your shooting at has ample time to avoid the bb

Anyhow, thanks everyone for the help, I'm going to stay away from the Bolt Action because I think the FPS is more than I want. (Don't want to have to downgrade a gun to make it usable on fields) and instead go with an Aftermath Broxa Mp5. Figure an AEG will be more field suitable for getting back into the sport.

fuck the broxa, get verified, get access to the aeg section and get yourself a nice aeg, the prices are better in terms of quality and resellability, broxas and krakens arent worth shit unless theyre upgraded when you ressell them.

plus an aeg is better to start with, can't beat good 'ole full auto!

ATV! accuracy through volume, lol

As already echoed by others, you wouldn't be allowed to use that gun on the field even with a downgraded spring. Most games won't allow someone to just walk in and be a sniper with a high power rifle if they don't know the person. Getting a sniper rifle for anything other than plinking is pretty useless for a non-experienced player.

And I would second the suggestion of getting age-verified. You'll have access to the classified and retailer sections of ASC where you'll have access to better quality guns than the Broxa. Unless you know how to tear it apart and give it a bunch of preventative maintenance out of the package, there's a fair chance that the Broxa wouldn't survive your first game.

It's highly recommended though. many game hosts would make it mandatory too. I wouldn't particularly feel safe or comfortable with a noob, to the community, to show up with a 450+ BA and fully understand and adhere to things like minimum engagement distances and such.

Just getting over the fact there are trigger happy people and noobs with 400fps full auto's running around makes me think twice about sticking my head around a corner.

Get Age Verified, look through the classified and find yourself a nice AEG.

Just to clarify, I'm *not* totally new to the airsoft community, I use to play quite frequently with a group of 15-20 players (mostly aged 30+) when paintball city indoor in etobicoke allowed airsoft. But unforunately, they installed hyperball / supair bunkers and the airsoft became a thing of the past there.

As for the Age verification, I'll be showing up to one of the future TTAC / or Toronto Area / Flag Raider games in the near future to get age verified and play a few games to get back into the sport and introduce myself to the community again.

I've decided against the BA, after reading good reviews, ordered the aftermath mp5 to start off with for now, I'm not expecting it to be the best gun out there, but instead something to get me back into the sport. When I have the $ (college student), will be picking up a nicer AEG.

Just curious, what would be the approx price range for a 'good quality' AEG with battery / charger. I know when I bought my TM Mp5 many years ago, it was about 450$, 50$ for Battery, and 120$ for a smart charger. Any suggestions on what brand to get?

I think I get where you're coming from.

Broxa's are pretty bottom end stuff...they work, but they're rough around the edges. Aim for $200-250. Up a notch will run you $350-ish. "Good old" AEGs will still run you $450+. Like before, you tend to get what you pay for.

A smart charger (red light = charging, green light = done) will run you $36. Batteries are $20-35 new. Highly recommend airsoftparts.ca for all those bits.

The classifieds should have a few MP5 mags kicking around. Get age verified as said...there's sure to be some good started packages on there.

TTAC3 (Brian), Airsoftparts.ca (Jugglez) are convenient places to get AV. There's often verifiers at the local games...especially if you post asking for one.

Best of luck,
