Hey just a little chair softing right now.

I run the games out here and I have considered placing a FPS limit on side arms 50fps lower than our Full auto limit *at 350-370*. The purpose of a side arm is to be used in closed quarters when it is no longer "safe" to use your main arm. This is especially important for our snipers and marksmen as they are generally hotter than the 400fps.

Now what i have noticed is some side arms are getting hotter and hotter. Ranging in the 400fps+ range! There is no difference in getting hit by a BB from a rifle at 400 or a side arm at 400. With a sniper being forced to switch to a side arm to engage and close distances if he is firing at 400.... well kind of defeats the purpose.

Just wondering if anyone has considered doing a FPS set up like this? What your thoughts on having pistols shooting as hot as rifles are as well.

*PS I know I am using the term rifle wrong*
