FAQ
Are these limits universal?
No — they're the most common defaults in North America and Europe. Every field publishes its own rule sheet, and some use different tiers (e.g. 1.0J CQB or 1.7J DMR). Always check before you travel.
Why do DMRs and snipers get higher limits?
Because they're semi-auto or bolt-action only and carry minimum engagement distances (MEDs). The higher energy is offset by the requirement to stay 50–100 feet away from other players.
What happens if I chrono over the limit?
You won't be allowed to field that gun. Bring a backup, a weaker spring, or downgrade options. Some fields allow downregulating HPA on the spot.
