:This section has been restructured to allow for better numbering of paragraphs. The wiki to pdf process doesn't like too many layers.

;Siloflex removed - January 2020
:Siloflex is a brand name for a type of high density poly-ethylene pipe, so references have been changed to allow the use of other products that meet the specifications. The specifications have been updated to meet the new standards and resins used.

;Ammunition must be named, not initialed - January 2020
:A reminder that the owner's name needs to be displayed on ammunition, not just their initials.

;Use of more yellow now allowed - January 2020
:Previous rules said that no more than 10% of the surface could be coloured yellow. This requirement has been removed.

;Head padding must have progressive resistant give - January 2020
:Requirements for padding updated.

;Allowance made for additional approved manufactured heads, and process for experimentation. - January 2020
:This section has been structured to allow for additional manufactured heads to be available.

;Crutch tips suitable for use as combat archery ammunition heads - January 2020
:Following experimentation in Artemisia between 2012 and 2019, crutch tips were found to be suitable for use as combat archery ammunition heads. They were provisionally approved in February 2019.

;Change in PSI for heavy tubular shafts - January 2015
:The requirement for pressure rating for Siloflex equivalent shafts was changed from 100PSI to 100PSI or greater.

;Fathead2 blunts sold by Northstar - February 11, 2019
:The Fathead2 is approved to a Society experimental status, which means it's approved by the Society for experimental, but still beholden to the experimental marking, reports and process until final approval.
:As experimental, kingdoms and wars (i.e. KDEMs and the MiCs of wars) can choose to allow or not allow at their discretion. If they are allowed, reports must be filed with this office of their use. All ammo in the experimental state must be marked with alternating red and green tape for at least 6 inches. Any battles with experimental ammo must be published with the use of the specific experimental ammo, or allow all participants to choose to inspect and participate or not.
:The experimental period is intended to give anyone that wishes time to get familiar with the new blunts. Once we have enough data to make a decision on provisional approval, that notice will come from this office.
