ABSTRACT
This specification outlines the basic performance requirements and corresponding test methods for barrel blocking devices used in the sport of air soft. It covers air soft gun barrel blocking devices that may be inserted or otherwise function to prevent an airsoft projectile from leaving the muzzle or the confines of the barrel blocking device. The performance requirements and test methods are intended to provide a reasonable degree of safety in the normal use of barrel blocking devices in air soft guns. The specification describes the barrel blocking device retention test that must be performed to ensure that the barrel blocking device will remain in or over the barrel and prevent an air soft projectile from exiting the muzzle or the confines of the barrel blocking device. It also requires the inclusion of a user's manual outlining the proper installation and usage of the device.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers air soft gun barrel blocking devices that may be inserted or otherwise function to prevent an airsoft projectile from leaving the muzzle or the confines of the barrel blocking device.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses are provided for information only.  
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

ABSTRACT
This practice sets forth procedures for the operation of air soft playing fields, intended to assist air soft field operators in running a safe business. It covers eye protection devices suitable for use in air soft games, including goggles, and recommends the minimum engagement distance between the shooter and the target at which a shot may be fired. It also requires the conspicuous posting of player safety rules, printed in 24-point type or larger, at the registration area.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice establishes minimum safety requirements for the operation of air soft playing fields, and provides for certain materials and procedures required.  
1.2 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 Specific safety rules and procedures are important in order to minimize the risk of injury to persons in the general area of air soft guns.

1.2 The information specifies rules of personal conduct, which might affect the safety of persons who are in close proximity to an air soft gun.  
1.3 The information includes procedures to be followed by every person who is in, or near, an area where air soft games are being played or air soft ammunition is being shot, and to the use of safety equipment related to air soft game or air soft target shooting activities. These procedures are to be followed any time an air soft gun is being handled.  
1.4 This standard is intended to be a useful tool for air soft game organizers, but it is not intended to eliminate the need for proper game supervision, conforming to Practice F2940.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
