• A hit to any part of the body or gear by a BB constitutes a “kill”. Ballistic plates do not negate BB strikes. Gun hits do not count. A solid ricochet (a hit off a hard surface that then contacts the player) counts. However, you may not use ricochet targeting as a tactic to hit other players.
• Do not intentionally shoot at anyone with a dead rag or dead light on.
