Own-Gunners

General site rules

• All players must be 12 or older. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult (18+) who takes responsibility for their actions.
• EU Safety Approved eye protection must be worn at all times outside the safe zone.
• We strongly recommend full-face protection for all players. If you are not wearing full-face, marshals will remind you.
• Full-face protection must be worn by any player under 18.
• Power limit is 350fps / 1.14 joules with a 0.20g BB. Maximum 0.30g BBs at Exeter.
• Single shot only indoors. Burst fire may be allowed outdoors where applicable. No fully auto at Exeter CQB.
• Sniper rifles are allowed at our Newton Abbot venue only (when airsoft operates there): 500fps bolt-action; 420fps locked-to-semi electric. Not applicable to Exeter CQB walk-ons.
• All guns are subject to FPS checks on our chronographs. Weapons over the limit will not be allowed on the field.
• Players found using a “hot” weapon that was not checked by UCZ, or that has cheated chrono, will be asked to leave.
• Weapons must be cleared and magazines removed before entering a safe zone.
• No dry-firing in any safe zone.
• Only bio BBs are permitted. First offence: switch immediately to bios and a 1-month ban from UCZ events (you may finish the day if you switch). Second offence: lifetime ban.
• Tracer rounds are permitted indoors only.
• No blind-firing — acquire a target, then shoot.
• No climbing on game props, obstacles or scenery. Do not move or interfere with them; use them for cover as intended.
• No careless running indoors.
• No smoke pyros indoors.
• Bang pyros are limited: nothing larger than an MK5 or 9mm, or louder than 120dB at 10m.
• Take extra care when throwing pyros. Do not pick them up, cover them or retrieve BFGs until the end of the game.
• Absolutely no homemade pyros. Only pyros designed and approved for combat games.
• Ring-pull pyros are not allowed at either venue (environmental and litter control).
• Marshals’ decisions are final.
• Verbal and physical abuse will not be tolerated.

Hits and dead players

• A hit is a BB, directly fired from a gun, impacting a player, their attire or equipment — including the gun.
• Definite ricochets do not count. If in doubt, count it as a hit.
• Take your hits. Airsoft is ruined by players who do not. Do not be that player.
• When hit, shout “HIT” and raise your hand above your head. Leave the game area or follow respawn/medic rules, keeping your hand up so others know you are out.
• When dead, do not linger in game areas. Do not walk through firefights or sensitive areas for tactical gain.
• Do not talk when dead other than to tell other players you are currently out of the game.

Recommendations

• Use a torch indoors — there are plenty of dark areas in The Bunker.
• Watch for natural hazards, slippery and wet areas.
• Uneven surfaces and trip hazards are present; wear suitable footwear at all times.
• Take extra care on stairwells. Do not move quickly on them and do not camp them.
• Long trousers and sleeves should be worn — keep exposed skin to a minimum.
• Treat each other with respect. We are all here to have fun.
• If you have a complaint about another player, take it to a marshal and ask them to resolve it.
• Put safety first. Look after yourself and others. Report hazards or problems.

We reserve the right to add to or change these rules at any time without prior notification. Any changes will be explained at the event or game safety briefing.
