Radio channel 7 is strictly reserved by Ground Zero for our radio network of staff and marshals. For team comms please use channels 1-6.
If there is a situation that you wish to report or an important question you want to ask, please nominate someone in your team with a radio to speak to us on channel 7.
Deliberate disruption or jamming of this channel will lead to you being told to leave for safety reasons.
All professional airsoft sites have the same basic rules. Most are just common sense, and if you already play airsoft you will know them very well.
We display the basic rules on signs in the safe zone as well as on the disclaimer that you sign if it is your first game at Ground Zero.
What we’ve put up here are our own GZ “quirks” that you may not be familiar with.
Full Auto (AEG/Gas, Pistol & Rifle) 350fps
Semi Mode Only (AEG/Gas Rifle) 425fps
Bolt Action Sniper Rifle (Spring Rifle Only) 500fps
Anything obscure will fall under the Full Auto category above with a maximum limit of 350fps.
The use of propellants other than approved airsoft gas in gas guns is strictly prohibited. If you are caught using unapproved propellants, you will be asked to leave the site.
Blank Firing, Gas & CO2 Devices are permitted at all times.
'Hot' pyro (such as EG) are only permitted at certain times of the year, when conditions are deemed by us as safe for their use, and do not prevent a fire risk.
-Any type and/or model of pyro used must be approved by us.
-Can be used by Over 18's Only
-Must be thrown underarm, in a controlled way, to a point that you can see.
-Strict adherance to these rules must be followed at all times.
Bins are provided in all dead zones across the gaming area and in various locations in the safe area. Littering is not tolerated and if seen deliberately flouting this simple instruction, you may be asked to leave.
Whilst we have staff working in the safe area where a certain amount of “blow away litter” is expected, it is impossible to keep 150 acres of forest clean. All we ask is that you pocket it until you get shot. A clean forest makes for a more realistic gaming environment.
Verbal (& physical) abuse is not tolerated at all. We have a 0% tolerance with this type of behaviour. If you loose it, you’re off the site. It’s that simple. GZ is a friendly place and we attract friendly players - we want to keep it that way.
Each team is given a colour (Orange, Green & Blue). This enables you to identify your enemy.
Extreme close-up areas such as inside our village huts, the fort, and in the tunnels are restricted to single shots only. 350fps maximum in these areas - no exceptions.
At GZ we do not operate a bang kill rule, but we do allow knife kills. If you can approach a player and tap him on the shoulder or back saying "knife kill" then the player must take that as a hit.
