"Airsoft Danger!" and regulating games

I posted this in my Tacloban Speakeasy back before i though about starting another blog for airsoft. FPS regulations during games is still a raging issue. I'm neither for or against it; the issue can still go both ways. At present the apparent compromise is FPS regulated gamesites, which isn't really complied with strictly.

There are a host of factors that make it difficult for FPS regulation. And then there is the reality that setting too low an FPS max limit would really take away from the fun of the game. Again, how to balance regulation versus free play is a dilemma for TEAM LAS (and i guess all airsofters).

As well, i reiterate my belief that TEAMLAS members are responsible. Whether or not you have a very strong gun does not really matter. Its the finger that pulls the trigger that makes the difference. Players also have to realize that each time we gear-up, we are really taking a risk. Albeit, not the same kind of risk in relation to real steel. Perhaps, risks more related to permanent disabilities, etc.
