Thunder Park Rules
We have a strict set of rules at Thunder Park to ensure every one who attends has a fun, safe and enjoyable day.
All our games are fully marshalled and a full safety briefing is given before every game. Please read our rules before you attend and make sure that you understand them fully. If you have any questions regarding any of the rules, please feel free to contact us.
Safety eye wear is the highest priority purchase when buying your Airsoft equipment. Approved eye protection is required at all times when entering the game play areas.
The power of an Airsoft gun is measured as the velocity of the BB exiting the barrel multiplied by the weight of the BB being fired. All weapons will be chronographed every day.
Anyone found carrying any of the items listed is subject to exclusion from the R.S.Airsoft Club: Lasers, Percussive Grenades, Smoke Bombs, Alcoholic Beverages
