SITE & GAME RULES
We have 3 catagories of weapons and associated FPS limits for those weapons at SIXMIL Airsoft.
These are catagorised as :
Full Auto capable weapons
MAX 350 FPS
DMR (Locked to single shot)
MAX 425 FPS
Bolt Action Sniper
MAX 500 FPS
SITE FPS AND ROF LIMITS
All weapons must pass our site chronograph testing at the start of each event day, and chronograph testing takes place on the morning of each event prior to the site safety brief.
All players MUST book in at reception prior to taking their weapons to the chrono-stations at the site shooting range for testing, as players not wearing an appropriate wrist band issued to them once they have booked in on site will not be allowed to chrono their weapon/s.
Once a weapon has successfully passed chronograph testing, and falls within the site FPS limits, then it will have a specific ‘tag’ for that event attached to the weapon to identify it has passed a chronograph test, and is able to be used on site both in the game zone and shooting ranges.
All weapons presented to our staff for testing at chrono are tested using the weight of BB the player intends to use in the weapon for that event.
Players MUST be able to tell the staff member the correct weight of ammo loaded in that players weapon magazine so as that an accurate test can be completed. All staff at chronograph stations have highly accurate electronic scales to weigh the players BB ammo if required.
ANY PLAYER WHO MISINFORMS A MEMBER OF STAFF AT THE CHRONOGRAPH STATION OF THE WEIGHT OF BB IN THEIR WEAPON MAGAZINE CAN BE ASKED TO LEAVE SITE WITHOUT REFUND, DUE TO THE SERIOUS HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS POSED IF A WEAPON IS NOT ACCURATELY TESTED TO COMPLY WITH H&S FPS LIMITS.
MAX FPS limits for each weapon class using specific BB ammo weights
SIDEARMS
All Sidearms, regardless of whether they are semi or full auto capable have a MAX of 350 FPS
RATE OF FIRE (ROF)
We allow a MAXIUM ROF for all weapons of 25 RPS (rounds per second). Our Chronograph stations are also equipped to test ROF as well as FPS. Any weapon with a ROF above 25 RPS will not be allowed to be used within the game zone.
SNIPER & DMR SPECIFIC RULES
Players using a Bolt Action Sniper Rifle have a minimum engagement distance to other players (the minimum distance another player MUST be from them in order to shoot your 350-500fps rifle at) of 20 metres.
Players using a DMR weapon have a minimum engagement distance of 20 metres.
All players using a DMR or Sniper MUST carry with them a secondary weapon (semi-auto pistol or shotgun only) in addition to their DMR or Sniper Rifle.
Melee weapons such as rubber knives do not count as a secondary weapon in this instance.
Full auto/single shot AEGs and full auto machine pistols are not permitted to be carried by DMR/Snipers in ADDITION to their 350-500fps rifle. A Sniper or Designated Marksman is a specific role, and these rules are in place to encourage players to play that role, and not just carry with them a selection of different weapon classes in game.
SNIPERS - PLEASE NOTE
To use a <500 FPS sniper rifle at SIXMIL Airsoft we ask players to pre-book your sniper place by emailing enquiries@sixmil.com, or by submitting a booking form on the ‘Booking Page’.
This is so we can properly divide players using a <500fps Sniper Rifle evenly bewteen each team when dividing the teams in the morning - pre briefing.
Thank you.
IMPORTANT
Our in-game marshal team also carry portable chronographs with them, and will randomly test players weapons both in game and on the firing range throughout the day. These random chrono tests are the interests of detering and catching any persons who choose to modify their weapon after the initial morning chrono test, in an attempt to increase its FPS/ROF.
Any player found to have a weapon that is firing above the FPS limits during a random or targeted chrono check by marshals throughout the event, that had previously been shown to have passed a chrono test will be considered to have intentionally modified their weapon to increase the FPS after the initial morning test, and will be asked to leave site immediately and without refund.

SITE RESTRICTIONS
The maximum sound/decibel output of any explosive device allowed on site presently is 120 decibels measured at (5 metres from the device).
The site has the facility to test pyrotechnic sound/decibel output from a pyrotechnic device with the use of a site approved decibel reader. If a player has a brand of pyrotechnic not listed above we may (circumstances permitting) be able to test the device on site prior to making a decision as to whether we will allow that brand/type of device to be used on site. The sites operators decision on whether a device can be used on site is final.
By a general rule, the maximum sound/decibel output of a pyrotechnic device allowed on site currently is that level commonly referred to within the industry as a ‘Mark 5 equivilant bang’.
TAG INNOVATIONS.
We do NOT currently allow the use of any TAG Innovations pyrotechnic products on site, including all of their hand thrown and self propelled explosive grenades. This is due to the sound/decibel output of these devices.
The ONLY exception to this is that we DO currently allow the use of their hand-thrown smoke grenade devices.

We do NOT currently allow the use of any Co2 charged plastic grenades (Thunder B etc). This is due to the possibility of large solid plastic or metal sections being ejected with force away from the device upon detonation.
SELF-PROPELLED PYRO.
We do NOT currently allow the use of any self-propelled pyrotechnic devices (TAG Rounds/Mortar launchers etc). This is due to the potential risk of these projectile devices striking players with force and causing unnessecery injury.
All pyrotechnics must be HAND THROWN ONLY.
