Note: if you are bringing your own weapons take them to the site practice range where our armourer will check the muzzle velocity, using a chronoscope. Weapons exceeding this velocity  may only be used on the practice range and are strictly prohibited in the combat game area. The only exception to this rule is sniper rifles, this is completely at our discretion and the permission to use such rifles may be withdrawn at any time during the day.

Protective Kit

Goggles or full face masks must be worn on site at all times except in the safezone area. (Note if using your own eyewear it must be made from impact resistant materials i.e. polycarbonate approved eyewear.)We advise full face protection. Any person under the age of 16 MUST wear a full face mask, as compulsory. If a player is found not wearing the correct eye/face protection they will be asked to leave the site. It is your eyesight that you will be risking. Approved eyewear/ face masks are available for purchase or hire on-site, but availability is not guaranteed unless pre-ordered.

Weapons

All magazines are to be removed and weapons discharged before entering the safe area. All weapons are to be placed on safety whilst you are in the safe zone area. Any person deliberately firing an airsoft weapon in the safezone will be asked to leave the site.

Game Procedure

  • In the event of an emergency or any other reason why a game must be stopped a signal (whistle) will inform everyone to stop play.
  • Close Quarter Battle (CQB) if your opponent is at close range you should give them the opportunity to surrender. Deliberate head shots at close range will result in that player being spoken to and penalised. Head shots are only permitted when there is no other part of your opponent visible and they are not at close range. Blind fire is not permitted; weapons must not be hung around corners and discharged blindly, as this could result in a player being hit several times in the face at close range. Players need to be able to identify their target. If a player signifies that they have been hit and raises their arm, no further deliberate shots should be taken upon that person. This does not include ammunition that may already be in flight.
  • When you are hit, shout “hit”, signify that you are out by standing up and raising your hands or weapon above your head and walking off the field. When turning a corner or going around objects that obstruct vision, you can call out dead man walking to warn other players that you are not still in the game. If you are in the thick of a fire fight feel free to wait on the field with your hands raised until it is clear to pass.
  • Overkill – avoid overkill at all times, it only takes one round to eliminate someone – there is no need to continue shooting, although a certain amount of BB’s may still be in flight after the initial hit.

Pyrotechnics

If a smoke grenade is activated then do not attempt to pick it up as it will be very hot and could cause serious burns if touched. If thunder flashes or BB grenades are used, and do not detonate after you have thrown them – LEAVE THEM ALONE – DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK THEM UP! Never throw pyro at another player. Pyrotechnics will be on sale but these must be used on the day or returned. They must not be removed from site. They are not available to anyone under the age of eighteen. Ammo (BBs) will also be on sale.
You may only use smoke or BB grenades that have been approved for use by ACE COMBAT Airsoft Kent

SITE INFORMATION

  • The combat game area is defined mostly by wire fences and tree lines but boundary tape will outline the less obvious boundaries. And players should not play in any other area, or outside of the boundary tape.
  • Do not climb up or on trees, do not deliberately damage shrubs, trees, plants or structures.
  • Some areas of the land may be slippery and uneven and players should take adequate care when entering or playing in these areas, particularly in wet weather.
  • Be aware that there may be fallen trees, logs, brambles and other obstructions on the ground and care should be taken when moving around them. There are some large bomb craters on site that may be filled with deep water from time to time; there is also a stream and 2 ponds on sight.
  • Be aware of car wreckage, electric fence, gradients and branches that are at head height. Caution should be used when near any of these areas mentioned above.
  • Structures have been built to enhance the playing enjoyment but are not permanent and adequate care should be taken not to interfere with them so as to render them unsafe.
