2. Prototype weapon vs projectile size (Gun size will be rounded off to nearest 3 inch- 7 inch = 3/16 inch

8 inch- 20 inch = 1/4 inch

NOTE: The basic gun barrel length calculation is Bore x Caliber. 5 inch x 38 Cal 5x38 = 190 inches 1/72nd scale 190 divided by 72 = 2.6389 inches

3. Gun barrel length showing must not exceed scale by more than 15%.

4. Aircraft Carrier 1/4 inch guns are allowed no depression.

5. To enhance scale appearance hidden fixed guns are allowed under the following conditions.

a. May be mounted off to the side of the scale weapon only far enough to allow the shot to clear the weapon.

b. May not be mounted in such a manner as to increase the arc of fire or as an attempt to gain any type of tactical advantage.

2. Fully automatic weapons (machine guns) are not allowed.

3. The weapon must only fire once when the fire control switch is activated.

COMPRESSED GAS

1. The only compressed gasses authorized for use are CO2and onboard compressor driven compressed air.

2. Technical Certification must be completed before any ship may enter combat or event involving the firing of projectiles. 

GUN PENETRATION TEST

1. High density insulation foam (pink) will be the only medium used for determining gun penetration. The foam must be held within six inches of the muzzle. A gun is acceptable for event use if it does not fire through two inches of the foam.
