Obviously this is the most exciting part of any airsoft day.

If you need any questions answered before you turn up please don't hesitate to ask, by either contacting us on Facebook or by email riotairsoft2024@gmail.com

Health & Safety

Fit and Able

It is your responsibility to know your own limits. If you have a medical condition speak to us on arrival.

Early Bath Clause

If you act in an unsafe manner or give us cause for concern that you will endanger others – its home time for you.

Drink and Drugs

We’ve got a zero tolerance for this. If we have reason to suspect you are under the influence you will be removed.

Smoking & Vaping

We don’t accept either on our premises, there are designated smoking areas in place – so no puffin please.

Car Park Discipline

Weapons MUST be covered at all times out with of the safe zone, and please park considerately.

Spot a hazard?

Spot something unsafe? Shout for a marshal and we’ll take care of it.

Don’t run

Floors can be slippery, areas can be dark and walls are hard. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Protect the soft bits

We recommend full face protection and boots for your own safety (mandatory if you are 17 or under)

Minor injuries

If someone is hurt we stop play – anyone can shout “CEASEFIRE” and all players wait for instructions.

In case of emergency

On the instruction “EVACUATE” – cease immediately, remove all weapons and leave the premises quickly.

The Big No No’s List

These are critically important, if you don’t want to go home before the end of the day.

REFRAIN FROM BEING A PHALLUS!

We think of it as a guiding principal that can be applied to every situation in life. Think before you act, speak or shoot!

BLIND FIRING

If you can’t see down the length of your weapon you don’t know whats at the other end. Don’t be daft.

ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR

Shouting at staff or players won’t be tolerated. If you can’t control yourself, you can do that off-site thank you very much.

OVERKILL

It takes a round or two to kill a player, not an entire hi-cap magazine. Stick to the three in the air rule (see gameplay rules)

ARGUING WITH MARSHALS

The team give up their game time to run the site, so treat them with respect. If you disagree with a decision, seek a site owner to discuss it further.

THAT’S NOT MINE…

If you see something lying around – a weapon, magazine, piece of kit, grenade etc then assume that the player will return for it. Not yours? Don’t touch.

HOT GUN = EARLY BATH

FPS limit is 350 fps on a 0.2g BB measured on our chronograph. If you are found with a hot gun in game you and the gun go home.

CHEAT CALLING

We don’t allow this. Got an issue, shout for a marshal instead. We’ll follow up on your report.

POWER GAMING

Charging in like Rambo and continuing to fire is poor. We take a dim view of this so don’t.

PEPPERING MARSHALS

Although fun, If you are ploughing rounds into marshals because you can't tell the difference between a hi-vis and a player, you’ll get to stomp back to spawn.

DEAD PLAYERS DON’T TALK

If you are waiting for a medic you can shout MEDIC that's it. If you are heading for spawn its DEAD MAN COMING THROUGH. That's it. Nothing else. Nothing via radios.

VANDALISM & STUPIDITY

Deliberate shooting of lights, moving cover, or messing around with fire extinguishers isn’t tolerated. I don’t believe we even need to point this out!

NO BLINDING PLAYERS

Do not shine a torch or laser in anyone's eyes, you wouldn't like it being done to you, don't do it to others!

Gameplay Rules

SINGLE SHOT ONLY

No burst or full auto fire permitted anywhere

WHEN YOU ARE HIT

Shout HIT and raise your hand – this will stop the rounds from coming!

GRENADES – HARD COVER

Unless you are fully behind hard cover grenades have a kill radius of 15ft (which is 4.5 metres or 3 Danny DeVito’s)

KNIFE KILL

Tap an unaware opponent on the shoulder for a knife kill. Must be accepted and acknowledged quietly (don’t scream HIT)

RICOCHETS

Ricochets don’t count as hits providing you check the direction the shot came from and can confirm its indirect fire.

SPAWN KILLING

Know where your opponents spawn is (by listening to the briefing) and don’t camp it, or you’ll get a free trip back to your own spawn.

3 IN THE AIR RULE

Avoid overkill by allowing your shots to get to target: so fire 3, allow them to travel, fire 3 more… etc

WHEN YOU TEAM KILL

Don’t panic, you get a special prize here: A free trip to respawn, with the player you just shot (so they can give you the look of disappointment the whole way back).

GRENADES – SAFETY RULES

Below knee height at all times except when posting over a barricade or through a window (can be dropped onto floor providing you can see where it will land)

USING THE ‘SURRENDER’ CALL

If you have the drop on someone and don’t want to shoot you can shout surrender, they either quietly accept or you can shoot!

GUN HITS

Don’t count for the gun in your hands only. Shout “GUN HIT” and continue. (Too many shouts will raise suspicion with marshals)

WHEN IN DOUBT…

Take the hit. This is our guiding principal and we ask you to stick to it robustly as airsoft is a game of valour and honesty.

NIGHT GAMES

Carrying a torch whilst in the game zone is mandatory.

LASERS NOT ARE ALLOWED

Too many fake and dangerous units available.

Banned, Restricted and Limited Items

We hate nothing more than banning things. Please ensure you avoid disappointing yourself by bringing something you can’t use to site:

WE DO NOT PERMIT THESE ON SITE

BBs OVER 0.28g in weight – these are unnecessary due to the windless nature of an indoor site

Mag Flash rounds for BFGs – these have set several things on fire so are no longer permitted

Shell Loading Revolvers – these are restricted as a player was caught using power up shells after chronoing on lower power shells and we can’t police shells so they’ve been banned

Disposable Pyro other than Enola Gaye Brand – only Enola Gaye allowed on site, this includes anything home-made, which of course is illegal!

Riot Shields – these are not permitted on site because its a game of airsoft and not a riot. (regardless of our name)

APS Shotguns

Dual Wielding Weapons (aimed shots from a single weapon at any one time only)

Claymores

MOSCART launchers of any type

NEED TO BE SIGNED OFF BY A MARSHAL

Any Training Knife / Tomahawk etc – must be inspected by marshals prior to being permitted in the game zone.

Polarstar / HPA Guns including Tippman – must be capable of being FPS locked, by Tourney Lock (or for Tippman via locking receiver pin.) Must be OK’d and cable tied by marshal team. If cut open, must be chrono checked again by the marshal team.

THESE LIMITS APPLY

All Guns 350fps MAX – measured on 0.2g BBs with our chrono – one shot over at our chrono and it can’t be used. If you are found in game with a hot gun you AND the gun go home immediately. It is your responsibility to make sure all weapons are chrono’d PRIOR to use and within these limits.

Disposable Pyro – Mk5 and Thunder flash are the max. Enola Gaye brand only.

BFGs/Reusable Pyro – 9mm is the maximum diameter of blank permitted. So .209 primers are ok but 12 gauge are not.

Safe zone Discipline

Help us make sure the safe zone earns it name by following these simple steps:

BEFORE ENTERING THE SAFEZONE

Magazines out (all weapons)
Clear barrels safely
Weapons on safe
Eye Protection on until inside

WHEN IN THE SAFEZONE

No magazines in
Fire selectors never off safe
Fingers off triggers
No dry firing

BEFORE ENTERING THE GAMEZONE

Eye/Face Pro on before you leave
Never take it off in game zone
Mags in only once in game zone
No Running

Video, Photos and attending as a non-player

Go Pro / Action Cameras can be used on site without restriction however we request that you share any clips you make with us on Facebook – as we love to see them!

If you believe your footage captures someone not following site rules we prefer that you provide that information to us to deal with, rather than posting it on the internet for comment. We find this approach is much more effective and causes much less fuss!

Visiting the site in a non-playing capacity, for example, to complete a sale or purchase, or to capture pictures or video can only be done with our prior consent. Use the contact us form or message us via Facebook.

Pictures and video will be captured at gamedays by approved site photographers and videographers and will be used freely by us in our website and Facebook posts.
