Editing Magazine-fed paintball (section)

== Rules and safety ==

Magazine-fed games are subject to the same fundamental safety requirements as other forms of paintball.

These include protective goggles, marker velocity limits, barrel-blocking devices and compliance with the rules of the playing field.

Additional restrictions may apply to ammunition types, engagement distances and equipment configurations.

For example, the SuperGame magfed rules published in April 2024 required detachable magazines, prohibited conventional hoppers and excluded stock-class tube-fed markers from its magfed-only games.[12]

Organisers may also restrict First Strike projectiles.

A November 2024 magfed event organised by OMG Events at Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park in England specifically prohibited First Strike Rounds.[13]

There is no universal requirement for all magfed games to permit shaped ammunition.
