That's pretty much to the discretion of the game organizer. While some of the rules of engagement may vary.. the basic rules of the game remain the same.

I'm a greenhorn in this game and these rules and regulations helped a lot! Thanks big time, Mod!

Can we up the CQB to 350 fps?

What are the rules of engagements for snipers with 500 fps?

Everything else is good. :-)

sir, ask ko lang po, if a hit below elbow and below the knee consider a hit? marami kasing inconsistency ang mga marshall pag dating dito, judgement call na lang parati ang palusot.
