Funny, the last time I played against people here in Manitoba, they all had mid to high quality guns. Hell, mine shot 410fps on .2 out of the box.

So if the situation allows for a lower fps (no need to worry about range etc), why not?

Wow, so one retard in alberta and the rest of the god damned country suffers. Congrats on the kindergarten punishment mentality. Still have not seen any evidence to prove that 350 is more dangerous than 300 when the proper precautions are made.

(once you do it the first time, it takes about 20-30 minutes to clean, re-grease, and swap a spring.)

Assumptions are hilarious. You assume everyone is gifted with technical inclination. Not everyone is. Not everyone can take apart a mechbox, let alone put it back together again.

To get our guns down to 320fps, we would need to
- buy a new spring (20$)
- have our techs install it (25$ labour)
- have our techs reinstall the old spring upon returning (another 25$)
Versus
- buy a 15$ facemask (which should be mandatory for a business owned field IMO)
So for a player who doesnt know how to swap springs themselves, thats 70$ above and beyond the other costs for attending the game.
On one side, players dont want to spend up to 70$ just to be able to play in one game to play at the lowwer FPS restrictions.
On the other side, players dont want to have to wear a facemask for whatever reasons. A cheap low profile face masl (such as the Sensei) is only 15$!!
70$ vs 15$...

I love how you think everyone can be technically inclined. It's a laughable concept at best. My TM M16A2 was 310 on .2's, out of the box. So no. It's not that all the time.

lol. You missed the point. You're crying about FPS limits being too high, when the majority of these guns shoot just under or just over 350 in stock condition. When there's no extra risk involved, why bother changing the spring because someone's got sand in their ovaries?

Is there a reason we SHOULD change the spring? You've still not shown any evidence that it's more dangerous. Not a single shred. So my point still stands. It's not any more dangerous than 300, so why bother changing for people because of some perceived yet non-extant threat.
