General
- All projectiles (rubber bands, thrown weapons, arrows, or bolts) must have a mass no greater than 1 lb (460 g).
- Projectiles (other than combat archery ammunition) must have a minimum diameter of 1/4 inch (6 mm) in any direction during flight.
- The striking surface of a projectile must be made of a material with at least 1/4 inch (6 mm) give.
- No part of the projectile, including the support material underneath the padding, can be sharp.
- Certain types of projectiles can be disallowed from specific scenarios at the marshals' discretion. For example, ball type projectiles, such as small rubber balls thrown by hand or from a sling, may be unsafe on rigid flooring as they may pose a slip hazard to combatants, but may be safe for use on grass and soft dirt.
- Material that could flake off when hitting an opponent must not be used on striking surfaces.
