That's why it's only for DMR's and snipers that are looking for a more consistent projectile path.

What's the minimum distance you're allowed to fire aluminum BBs at?

[Cortexian]

Ours is 50 feet / if you can sprint to them in under 5 seconds you're to close.

I should buy metal and silica bb's just in-case if I ever need to invade Canada with my high FPS airsoft guns

Just got back from a failed game (-20 C = dead batteries and gas gun fail) and a guy was gunning a Systema/red cylinder at 550 FPS using silica BB's.

No. As far as I am concerned, if you are using metal BBs: fuck you, get the hell off the field. Use a heavy .43g plastic BB or learn to compensate for windage, but do NOT use metal BBs. Not at five, not at fifty, not at one hundred feet. The reason airsoft is even a different classification from legitimate BB guns is because they are using plastic ammunition, which is where the "soft" in "airsoft" comes from.

They hardly hurt more than silica BB's... I don't see what the problem is if you're experienced enough to judge safe MED. I don't think there are any fields up here in Canada that prohibit the use of metal BB's for DMR or Sniper roles, though you AREN'T allowed to use them if you're a nobody/unknown skill level player. If one is wearing proper eye protection it really shouldn't matter, we require at least ANSI Z rating eye wear (will stop a 12 ga shotgun blast from 10 ft).

On Saturday we turned away a young guy who just bought a new SRC AR-15 Gen III Pro that was shooting 440 FPS. That's in our DMR/Sniper FPS zone and no one knew who he was so we didn't let him field that gun. Someone lent him a TM Super 90 which was good.

Don't care. If you're allowing metal BBs, then you might as well allow players to use legit BB guns.

Bad experience with metal BB's?
