Can I still play fast?
Yes. Fast play is still allowed. Do not shoot more than necessary or continue after an opponent calls a hit; uncontrolled spam is not allowed.
Can I still rush?
Yes. Tactical rushing — pushing positions, breaching, flanking — is part of CQB. What's out is uncontrolled rushing with prefire and trigger spam.
What counts as trigger spam?
Continuous, often inaccurate fire above our hard limit of 5 RPS.Controlled, aimed semi-auto shots within 5 RPS are fine.
What counts as prefire?
Excessive, speculative fire through doorways, corners or windows to deny space. Controlled prefire as part of anticipation or movement is fine; spamming corners to force trades is not.
What counts as suppressive fire?
Continuous fire intended to pin a player rather than hit them. Controlled suppressive fire within the 5 RPS limit is allowed.
Do special events use the regular CQB rules?

CQB rules. Special events may differ and publish their rules on the event page.
Where do I find special-event rules?

Can a pistol be my primary replica?
A pistol may be primary when the complete replica, with accessories or carbine kit fitted, measures at least 50 cm in its play configuration. It may then use any magazine type.
How is replica length measured?
Measure point-to-point in the configuration used during play. Fitted tracers and suppressors count; a stock played collapsed is measured collapsed. Exactly 50 cm qualifies for the unrestricted magazine rule.
