4.1. CHRONO AND VELOCITY/ENERGY LIMITS
4.1.1.Velocity reducers are NOT allowed.
4.1.2.Players must report to chrono with a fully functioning weapon (Battery in place ready to fire) and an empty mag for each
weapon being Chrono’d.Each Weapon will be checked for functionality before being passed to Chrono Check-in. Players may
only Chrono 3 weapons per trip.
4.1.3.OLCMSS standard chrono limit is1.55 Joules (<366fps).We recognize velocities may fluctuate with environmental
variables; it is the player’s responsibility to stay within the specified limits. Player ignorance of how their weapon system may
function is not an excuse. All weapons will bechrono graphedusing Bio30-gramBBs and the energy must be less than 1.55
Joules. With.32-gramBB’s 1.55 Joules chronos at 333 fps. For your own reference: A weapon firing.25-gramBB’s at 1.55 Joules
will chrono at 365 fps A weapon firing.30-gramBB’s at 1.55 Joules will chrono at 409fps!If a gun is over the OK range, the
Chrono Marshall will immediately check the weapon. If he duplicates an unsafe reading, the Airsoft weapon will not be allowed
in the game.
