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.

Oh, I forgot to mention that my fps are mesured with .20g (always use .20g as a benchmark). The BB weight mentionned is relative to the MED, as the BB weight modify the amount of joules transfered on impact.
So let's say you have a 500fps rifle (chronied with .20g). It would shoot at 408fps with 0.30g and with a .30g, an MED of 55feets is required to have an impact of 1j.
MED should be mesured for 1j because it's the general energy needed to break skin.
100feets MED is useless IMO. It's should only be used as a general engagement distance or GED at wich it is generally safe to hit any parts of the body with 450fps.
