Rules of engagement for a 420 FPS Pistol

My friend wants to get a CO2 Taurus with 420 Fps. He plans to use it as a back up. I'd like to knkow what the rules of engagement are because I don't think it'd be okay for a pistol that strong to be allowed but let me know.

i dont think he should be allowed to use it. the point of the pistol aside from than its faster to draw that than to reload is when youre very close to your opponent it has lower fps than your primary weapon. fps isnt everything, that amount on a pistol isnt needed at all.

I know, and I completely agree with you. But I want to know if it's allowed.

I had that pistol before a kid stole it from my bag at rage. It shoots about 400 on the dot. Which means its not good for cqb but could be used as say a snipers back with yout standerd 10 ft rule.

i personally would say its not, but thats just me..
if he is willing to get shot point blank on skin with it, then i would consider. the reason why i say that is because pistols are primarily cqb.
this raises a serious topic, high fps. if i told your buddy "hey hold still 2 feet away so i can shoot you with my ___ shooting 420-430 fps", most would likely reply "fuck you im not stupid!". then the irony, their gun shoots that hot also. so their perfectly fine inflicting unnecessary pain to others but wont take it themselves..
bottom line, as far as pistols are concerned, i would say 380 on a pistol should be the limit. not around 380, no, 380 fps solid limit for the reasons that its a pistol and is most commonly used for close to close-medium range. at that distance you dont need even 320 fps but most pistols shoot harder than that.

be a man and live up to it god dammit and i have been shot with 500 fps dont be scarred thats all

did you just tell me to be a man? watch it eagle...
and i had a aeg dmr not long ago shooting 550fps (keep in mind i couldve also kicked it full auto since it was a AEG, and shot 16bbs/sec at 510fps) that i did take a shot from before bringing it to the field to make sure it wasnt too bad and what my minimum distance should be, so i know what it is to get shot high fps. but pistols and rifles and aegs are all different things. im simply saying what i believe should be the rules about pistols.

i used to have a non blow back propane pistol that shot 400-430 and the only times i ever used it i made sure to hit vest and only vest. unless they didnt wanna call that

but yeah i let people shoot me with it up close

just tell him to be smart and no head shots. he has a hot pistol and it is not cool but if he isnt a dick about it i dont think many will care.

do u remember when inglorius basterds had kwas ripping up to 500 fps and no one said anything except the time they let people up in the face. the point is that there is no fps limit here no one owns the field its not a buissness okay and if u dont like what i wrote xero then dont comment

you mean like ALL THE TIME?

oh and watch your attitude......not to many people are happy with you for you to be doing the machoact on the forum

i agree i dont really care if you shot me with a 400 fps gun or a 500 fps if your 2 scare to play with the big boys stay home

yes i will watch my attitude jester and thank you Gonzalo

i see both points but no one wants to go out with what looks like face herpes so a minimum engagement distance is a good idea/chrono

Thats a stupid comment your telling him to be man because hes giving advice to this other guy about the hot pistol.I recall being scared to get shot not to long ago so dont talk.

First of all Eagle calm down. I never said I was scared, I just wanted to find out if it was alright to have one. Some places have limits.

guys you say "be a man" and "play with the big boys" but when you get shot with that in the face/nuts/cheap goggles with something that hot from up close, dont contradict yourself and bitch and moan......cause if i witness that im gonna laugh at you

thats exactly what i said in my first post if you read back, so i obviously agree with Jester also. Ima drop a m155 spring in my g36 and shoot you people who are saying to "man up" *cough eagle and gonzalo* and shoot you from the same range as you would normally use a pistol (5-15 feet) and see how much you enjoy that experience. sound good?

in my opinion as long as hes not an asshole with it and aims only at the vest up close then its all cool.

i would agree, but ive been playing long enough to know that in the heat of a match that accidents happen and even up close sometimes bb's stray or your aim could be high or low.
you cant always control where you hit, but you can control how hard. think about that real hard for a minute..
