Safety Rules

[CarstenW]

Hello.
So i am sorry if i am asking a question you have answered many times, but my Swedish is rubbish, hence the English.
My friend and I have talked about signing up for Mercs 10, and we have a question, about the safety rules in Sweden.
Do you require a Fullface mask, or are googles and netfacial protection (can't remember the name).

Thank you in advance

[Bloodneed]

no requirement for full face protection, safety goggles is the only required protection in Sweden

[CarstenW]

Cool thanks. What about age, i know that rodes.dk makes som trips to Sweden, for minors, who can't play in Denmark, but others say that you have to be 18 and above to play airsoft i DK. My friend have a younger brother who really wants to play airsoft, but he is not old enough here.

[Bloodneed]

well the majority of games in sweden have 18 as minimum age this is in accordance with Swedish law (even though it is debated and some games, mostly local smaller games allow minors to play)

[CarstenW]

Well okay, that was i thought. As far as i could see, you had to be 18 to play, or els it was just target shooting, but I just had to make sure.

[A_Müller]

That's correct.
It's been tried a few times and general consensus (as well as the law) clearly states that 18 is the age limit in Sweden.
Although non-armed roles are allowed for minors and I'm sure that Yog and his Cannibal Hippies wouldn't mind another unarmed person at the event, I'm sure he will be able to figure out quite a few exciting things for the brother to do .

[CarstenW]

That is of cause a possibility. But there is a long time to Mercs, and i don't know if he will be interested then.

As has been noted, you are not required to use anything beyond safety glasses as far as protection goes.
However, do note that certain games may restrict it further (ie. no face masks or ski goggles in certain milsim games for the sake of realism and thus forth).

Carsten, as long as you are 18 years of age or older, you are more than welcome to the Mercs-game.
Minors at Mercs have occured a few times. They have been in-game reporters, medics or other unarmed roles.

The page will be done into an English version too, it is beeing worked on as we speak(write).
