Just curious, Sir; What makes a HPA system dangerous (I get the whole high ROF and variable velocity, just wondering if you meant anything specific)?

Generally those rigs are VERY EASY to adjust the levels, and there is very little event hosts can do to keep the regulators at one pressure. So they are usually relegated to known trust worthy individuals.

The only thing they could do is make it so only regs that require tools to Change the pressure there isn't very many like that tho.

To the OP--your time, energy, and funds, even that which you direct at airsoft, as a 15 year old has many better ways to be spent.
Leave the HPA snipers to someone older, with more money, and some perspective on life.

thank you seagreenSeagreen wrote:
So, yes..there is a safety issue with HPA converted guns, but not so much as a lethal level of impact, but definitely a close range impact/tissue damage.
Should they be used on the field at all? I don't believe there should be special rules for "special" people...so, if a promoter won't allow some tard with one, then that should be the answer for everyone.
