Safety & Rules
There’s a few limitations for blasters:
Must be semi-auto (one trigger pull fires one dart)
Cannot exceed 130 FPS (subject to change)
Must fire darts via spring or flywheels
Must have an orange tip
Darts also have a few rules too:
Must be labeled with your player number
Cannot be physically modified in any way (e.g. cutting full darts into short darts)
Firing Mechanisms
There’s 2 firing mechanisms you’ll see at game. Spring blasters which require you to compress a spring until it locks then pull the trigger to release and fire a dart. And there’s flywheel blasters which feed darts through a pair of spinning wheels to fling darts.
They each have their pros and cons
