Fox_111, I think you're CLEARLY misguided on some key issues when researching impact and safe practices. First, even Stalker has been pushing you guys for making sure you chrony with .20's only, there is a huge difference between FPS of a .20 and .30 in the same gun.

Second, even Stalker pushes for 100ft MED on a 450-500 fps gun, I personally would contemplate a shot at 60ft with a 450 gun if I have clear shot of chest/gear, first sign of that round off kilter and injuring player my rags out and I'm walking up to check his status.

Like I've said, I've gotten bleeders and serious welts/bruises that have lasted several weeks from guns shooting under 400 fps, and still think that its really not simply a BA rifle or sniper platform ONLY when the case of MED comes up. A round from a 450-500 fps gun firing .20's at 40 feet is going to do some damage, ask Testtube he had the round embed on his head from a shot made at aprox 35 feet.


EDIT: Agreed 100% with LD, he's saying exactly what I'm trying to say on the concern of "qualifications" to play.
