Site Rules and FPS Limits
Some rules can differ from site to site, here’s your one stop shop for our current rules and regulations here at Alpha 55
AEG / Pistols / Gas / Automatic weapons – 350 fps is the site limit and based on 0.20g.
We have no maximum weight limit on BBs. The site works on joules, please refer to a conversion chart to check you are under our site limit. We keep a conversion chart at our range.
Bolt action Sniper rifles – The Site limit is based on 0.20g
As a sniper you have a 25 Metres engagement distance and MUST Carry a side arm – Anything between you and 25 Metres you have to use your side arm. We require snipers to do a ‘Sniper test’ this is to show us you know you distances and can hit a body sized target at 25 Metres. If you fail this you will be polity ask to not use the ‘sniper.
DMR – The site limit is based on 0.20gs.
Using a DMR you have a 25 Metres engagement distance and MUST carry a side arm – Anything between you and 25 Metres, you have to use your side arm. We require DMR users to do a ‘Sniper test’ this is to show us you know you distances and can hit a body sized target at 25 Metres. If you fail this you will be polity ask to not use the ‘sniper.
DMRS MUST be locked to semi fire ONLY!
Note: if you are testing your own gun and don’t have 0.20gs, chronoing your guns on 0.25g, 0.28g, 0.30g etc DOES NOT reduce the FPS of your gun. Below is a calculator of what your gun will be chronoing on at 0.20gs.
Although we do recommend you chrono your guns on 0.20gs
All players under the age of 16 are limited to a maximum of 350 FPS.
