I'll definately be looking for it at OP Phoenix. I'll want to be sure it chrono's under the established velocity limits. If it doesn't, it either gets left behind or a whole bunch of my visiting players will probably be sitting out. We've had a more or less unified set of velocity limits in this area for years and it's worked well. What FRAT does on it's own site and it's own games is their business. But I don't need any of my players getting hurt due to stupidity at a big public event. I'll be sure to warn the other group leaders to be on the watch for this beast as well. ;D

Yeah, I'll keep an eye out, it's a really cool gun Admiral, but the problem with airsoft is that there are idiots who think it's funny to cause that kind of pain. And while we can kick them off the field (sorta), we wouldn't be able to kick them off the team (thanks K-State rules). And if we allow even one of our senior members who will obey the rules to use the weapon, we are going to have a hard time saying no to anyone else who has this kind of gun. I kinda wish FRAT didn't have the gun, I've been looking forward to more games with them and I don't want to have to deal with arguing about this gun, but I must say, it's a nice one, I don't have that kind of money, I don't think I could even afford one of the systema parts. Anyway, thanks for giving us dibbs, and it's too bad you don't have the time to come out anymore. Shane

But I don't need any of my players getting hurt due to stupidity at a big public event. Just because someone out there has it, doesn't mean that the player using it is stupid. Its very well possible the player will use it the correct way and you will never notice its even there. The danger of the gun is in how its used. A 450FPS gun in a idiots hands is way more dangerous than a 600FPS gun in an intelligent players hands. Ive used this gun for some time now and never broke out teeth, shot an eye out, or put a BB in someones skin. To bad you cant place FPS limits on players and not the guns ;-) I kinda wish FRAT didn't have the gun ya, sucks I had to sale it to them, was hoping one of you guys would take it so it could remain a KSUAT rifle. But it got bashed so bad right off the bat im pretty sure no KSUATers were going to get it. All it takes is a spring downgrade and you would of been golden. Downgrade the spring to within your guys's limits and throw in a LiPo and you got a gun thats shooting 30 RPS with the internals to handle it. Well, good luck against the gun if you guys do play FRAT. Hope no one gets their teeth shot out! ;-)
