1、Designation: F2940 13 An American National StandardStandard Practice forAir Soft Field Operation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2940; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.

2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis practice sets forth procedures for operating an air soft playing field. The goal is to assist airsoft field operators in running

3、 a safe business. Like any other physical activity, air soft presents apotential for injury. No procedural practice can prevent all injuries, especially when air soft playersdo not follow safety instructions. The ultimate responsibility for preventing injury lies with the air softplayer. This practi

4、ce, however, intends to promote safe air soft field operation through standardizationof operating practice.1. Scope1.1 This practice establishes minimum safety requirementsfor the operation of air soft playing fields, and provides forcertain materials and procedures required.2. Referenced Documents2

Acceptable methods of meeting thisrequirement are:4.3.1 To have a clearly identifiable accidental dischargedevice installed in the gun, or4.3.2 To have the air soft gun enclosed in a case or holsterthat does not allow a discharged air soft projectile

21、to escape.4.4 GogglesAll persons shall be required to wear an eyeprotective device at all times while they are in areas designatedas “goggles on areas.” As no standard exists for air soft eyeprotective devices at this time all eye protective devices shallbe subject to the approval of the game operat
