MIKE FORCE

These rules are given to help you have an enjoyable playing experience. Each player has promised to play with HONOR, HONESTY, INTEGRITY and RESPECT. Play as if you are an actor in a movie. When you are "HIT!" and shot OUT!, play it up! Have fun and die with drama! 

​

Each player will need the following 3 items for play:

 

1.  Red Death Rag ( The Red Bandanna provided at your first game)

2.  Bring a wrist watch with a second hand

3.  A positive fun attitude 

​

The main object in Airsoft is to have fun by shooting the opposing player, "OUT!" 

This is done by shooting one or more bbs into THE BODY KILL ZONE.

​

1. THE BODY KILL ZONE: 

• The BODY KILL ZONE consists of the head, neck, trunk, arms legs and all equipment; front back and sides, including hats and helmets. Note: Gun hits do not count.

​

2. THE OUT RULE: 

• When a player is "HIT!" within the BODY KILL ZONE with one or more bbs the player is then shot "OUT!" of play.

 

• When shot in the BODY KILL ZONE the player immediately shouts "HIT!" or "OUT!" Players are encouraged to use other Hollywood style death screams with the shout of "HIT!" or "OUT!" And then fakes their death as realistically (like Hollywood) and safe as possible, dropping to the ground playing dead. 

 

• The player then pulls out the Red Death Rag and places it over their head and face laying still in the condition of death for 3 minutes.

 

• Should there be bbs still being shot in the players direction, the player waves the Red Death Rag calling "OUT!" until it is safe to lay still again. Should a player lose their Red Death Rag just wave your hand back and forth calling "OUT!"

 

• The player only moves the arm in the use of the Red Death Rag and viewing the watch!

​

• DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES! During the time that the player is down he is not allowed to communicate in any form with any player that is"OUT!" or in play, with the exception of the Game Master or an appointed Field Controller(s).

 

• Players not acting dead, talking or sitting may receive a penalty. 

 

TO AVOID DISRUPTIONS AND UPSETS DURING THE GAME

PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING THREE RULES.

 

• If you feel that a player has been shot and has not called "HIT!" or "OUT!," keep shooting that player with the assumption that the player has not felt the bb(s) and is playing honorably. 

 

• Do not yell and tell the player he has been "HIT!" or "OUT!" or that they are cheating for this distracts from the realism of the combat simulation.

 

• Players that are caught being dishonorable by not calling "HIT!" or "OUT!" will be subject to penalty. Only the Game Master and the Field Controller(s) are allowed to enforce the rules and issue penalties. 

 

• If you see a player on your team that has been hit by a non-felt bb(s) tell him, so he can call, "HIT!" or "OUT!" 

 

• BBs flying through (not trickling down) brush counts. A bb that bounces (ricochets) off another player or hard object such as rocks, trees and buildings are not counted as a hit. Gun hits do not count. 

 

• If you are shot by one of your teammates you are "OUT!" Friendly fire is not friendly!  

 

• Players that are "OUT!" of play may not be used as a barrier moving or stationary.

 

• Enemy players telling an "OUT!" player the word "Search!" That "OUT!" player must surrender the intelligence or the item(s) that is part of the game as instructed in the game scenario.

 

• Do not use the word "OUT!" or "HIT!" unless it applies to you!

 

• "OUT!" players may be moved by out of the line of fire by fellow players.

​

​

When in doubt, call "OUT!"

HIT! = Being just hit by a BB or BBs

OUT!= Out of play after being HIT!

​

3. THE BANG RULE:

• For safety should you approach a player within 4 adult paces (12 feet) you must shoot him by saying BANG, BANG! 

 

• The Bang Kill must be muzzle line of site on the player being BANGED OUT and with no obstructions. Your Airsoft gun must be operational and able to shoot should the person become outside the 4 adult pace rule. 

 

• No blind fire is allowed period!

 

• Should two opposing players find themselves face to face within the 4 adult pace limit, the first player who says BANG! Wins! But the winning player must say two BANG! BANGS! Or, both are shot "OUT".

 

• If you have a suppressed gun you may use THE BANG RULE by saying quietly: "Bang! Bang!" 

 

• The Bang Kill is a non-recoverable "OUT!" Therefore,"OUT!" or recovering players that have been bang killed may not be recovered by Medics as per the Medic rule and must return to the respond point after their down time of 3 minutes is up.

 

• No more than 2 players  may be BANG KILLED at any time within the 4 adult pace limit. If there is more than 2 players within the 4 adult pace limit - step back out of the 4 adult pace limit and SHOOT THE REMAINING PLAYERS! If you can!

​

4. THE TEAM MEDIC RULE:  "OUT!"​

• A team member may medic and restore to recovering status an "OUT!" player by saying "I am a medic and I can help you!" Then the medic takes the players DEAD RAG and ties it above the elbow on one of the DOWNED PLAYERS arms.  The medic now taps the player on the shoulder and tells the recovering player "you are now recovering and will be totally recovered when the 3 minute of your down time is up, from the time you were shot "OUT!"  

 

• THE ARM OF THE DOWNED PLAYER MUST BE TOTALLY WRAPPED BEFORE THE END OF THE 3 MINUTE DOWN TIME. 

 

• THE DOWNED PLAYER THAT IS NOT RECOVERED BY THE END OF 3 MINUTES IS "OUT!" 

 

• The recovering player then may talk and share intelligence, etc. after being wrapped up. Any team member may move a recovering player by holding the players arm. Should the player that is moving the recovering player be shot "OUT!" and/or lets go of the players arm, the recovering player sits down until moved again or has completed their "Recovery" time. 

 

• Recovering players shot during recovery returns to "OUT!" status as per the "OUT" rule. 

 

• Any player being recovered to normal play by a team medic(s) may do so TWO times. The THIRD time shot "OUT!" the player may not be recovered and is "OUT!" of play!!!!! This is a matter of honor! 

 

• Three strikes you're "OUT!"​

​

5. RE-SPAWN

• After the "OUT!" player has been down for 3 minutes he calls out loud for all to hear "DEAD MAN RISING!"

                                                                                                                     

• For night games use red Chem lights, flash lights or any other red type lights.

​

• Then the player waves their Red Death Rag all the way to the RE-SPAWN POINT. Should there be a fire fight in the area the "OUT!" player is traveling through; the "OUT!" player waves his Red Death Rag and calls as he walks, calling out for all to hear, DEAD MAN WALKING! DEAD MAN WALKING!

 

• The RE-SPAWN POINT is a no shoot safe zone where an"OUT!" player may be restored to normal play status and quickly return back into the game.

​

• It is dishonorable to snipe, ambush or attack any player entering or leaving a RE-SPAWN POINT. 

 

• When the "OUT!" player arrives at the RE-SPAWN POINT he is to:

  • Record the players "OUT!" should there be a Death Record.

  • The Red Death Rag and those items is then placed back in his pouch or pocket

  • Immediately returns to the game. 

 

• The only players allowed to stay at the RE-SPAWN POINT are those repairing their equipment, cleaning their goggles or recovering because of a health concern.  

 

• Should the RE-SPAWN also be a waypoint and/or game objective and is being fought over; the OUT! Dead Player must wait until any battle is resolved.

 

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES!

 

HAVE FUN!

Play it up like you are in a movie!

 

Remember blind fire is not allowed!

9. HONOR

• It is a matter of honor to follow the above rules. By using these rules correctly you may receive the greatest benefit from the game.

​​

• We will ban individuals for continual disturbance in or out of our games. We also reserve the right to prohibit individuals from games.

 

• Occasionally misunderstandings happen during the game; should there be one, please bring it to the attention of the Game Master or a Field Controller(s) so it can be handled in a timely matter as it applies. It is a matter of dishonor to not handle upsets directly with the Game Master and/or Field Controller(s) during the game day and very dishonorable to share your upset with others outside the facts of the situation. It is unfair to the club and other players by sharing your upset with those who would only see your side of that upset. This could be considered as gossip!

 

• In any game there are winners and losers. If you are on the losing side go away with the concept of what you can do the next time that would allow your team to do better and win. Be a good sport!
