What are the FPS rules across Canada?

Hey there, the association I'm apart of is looking to update its rules to be closer to that of the rest of Canada (Partially so that when out of town players come they don't have to savagely downgrade their guns)

If you could, please fill out the following form and re-post it in this thread.

[Donster]

at my field (Wasaga Beach), the max are:

pistols: no limit (since they are generally considered to be around 350-380)
AEGs: 410 fps
BA: 450 fps

Indoor, generally i hear 350fps

Now that being said, if you talk to the game host, you could get permission to use higher FPS guns.

Holy shit, that's 487 FPS on .20's. Are you serious?

Also, this seems a bit weak. 313 FPS with .20's max for outdoor?

[Beowulfe]

The fps cap posted by arman likely has more to do with paintballwilderness (where they play) rather than to do with his club.

[FOX_111]

In Québec

Outdoor

Auto AEG: 400fps
Semi auto AEG: (locked on semi) 450fps
Snipers: 450fps
Certified operator limit: unlimited (field and organised dependant) 550fps in not uncommon. Limitations should fall under the guidelines of the sniper clinic if we want to structure things up a bit.
Note: Certification process as begun with the sniper clinics I'm running.

Indoor

AEG, full auto 350fps
Snipers: N/A since our indoor field kinda defeat snipers purposes. It's not paintball fields.


No limits on pistols.

All fps stated are chroned with .20g as usual.

[Jayhad]

Why would there be a different FPS rules instituted for Pistols??? it's not like a pistol is packing more energy then an aeg with the same bb @ the same FPS

usually cuz pistols are used in CQB so the lower fps will prevent injuries.

They hold the airsofters to the same chrony rules as the paintballers. No amount of talking has been able to change that. Shitty, but it is a decent field.
