Actually, we do run a blackhawk down scenario as a tribute to the pilot and the two Delta snipers that gave their lives. We are working out some of the details as to what weapons will be used where. People have to realize that hard set rules do not always work with an airsoft field: there may need to be some exceptions. For example, the number of players at any given time can change the way we play.
Can you imagine a MOUT game with 20-30 players and everyone running full auto? There would be no movement, just a stand off between groups on opposite sides of the field. In that case, we may limit full auto to a 1:5 (1 auto for every five players on a team)for that scenario. Or 1:3 or Semi only or controlled burts of 3-5 rounds (more milsim that way anyway) or we may just run full-auto...it all depends on what works with what group is playing.
We may allow 300fps AEGs on Semi in the CQB kill house. We may do any number of things to improve game play. We like to try to make sure that the game play flows and everyone has fun. If we set a rule for a given scenario and it's not working we can change it.
The same holds true for respawns...30 secs? 1 min? 2 min? Depends on the scenario, number of players etc. Level of experience is can be a big factor in how we run a game too. Flexibility is the key.
BTW I really do appreciate your feedback and questions. I have ran 2 fields prior to this with a great deal of success and we did that by listening to our players. FYI One field we lost the lease and the other burned to the ground in California cause of a shitty land owner.
One more thing. Rates: Are flexible. I am not trying to support my family or my hobby with this field. I have a fulltime job and this field is a labor of love. I want it to be self supporting but I never want to turn away a player over a couple of bucks. Call first and we can always negotiate! We will also be offering a monthly pass for around 30-40 that will allow 8-12 days of play...not bad. I personally would rather have 20 players paying 5/per that 10 paying 10/per. More bodies = more tangos and better game play.

The only use for a pistol is to fight your way back to the rifle you shouldn't have set down in the first place!
