While I see the point that some on this post have made about "how fast is too fast", some of their evidence seems to be lacking actual cases of players being blinded. It was said that goggles and wire mesh masks fail at higher velocities in a controlled experiment. I have yet to see real world cases where a player was blinded and/or injured by a fast moving bb. Back in the day, friends of mine used to have bb/pellet gun fights out in the boonies. No one ever lost an eye or were seriously injured. I think that personally the limit should be lowered based on the players experience (ie: new players 300-350fps aeg, 450-500fps sniper), and maybe higher for more experienced players (ie: 350-425fps aeg, 500-600fps sniper). I think that if things were really getting out of hand, we would be hearing more stories about injured players and lawsuits against fields and airsoft manufacturers.
