"Skarp Skada" ("live injury" in English) are the words you call out if anyone gets hurt seriously enough that you or the injured party feels a (real-life) medic needs to be summoned. All game play at your location should cease immediately. Game masters/crew must be called on and brought to the site.
While the game is live and you are on the game site, you must always wear appropriate protective eyewear.
Appropriate protective eyewear for BBR should be made out of polycarbonate (polykarbonat), and in the EU they should be EN 166 certified. Most protective eyewear sold as such at a respectable hardware store should work.
If you encounter anybody without protective eyewear on the game site, feel free to tell them to put their glasses back on or leave the site.
Safe zones are the only places where you are allowed to remove your protective eyewear. The following places are considered safe zones:
It is strictly forbidden to fire or even draw an airsoft gun inside a safe zone. It is also forbidden to fire in to or out of them. In order to bring a gun inside a safe zone, ONE of the following procedures must be followed:
- Make sure the gun is completely unloaded. Do this by removing the magazine and fire the gun once (in a safe direction) to make sure the barrel is cleared of any bullets. Guns that keeps their propellant inside the magazine does not need to be fired.
- The weapon is attached to a safe holster. For a holster to be considered safe it has to completely cover the muzzle of the gun, or make sure the muzzle always points down and that the holster prevents access to the trigger. All holsters will be checked at check-in.
- The gun has an approved muzzle protector. A muzzle protector is something that completely covers the muzzle and is attached in such a way that it can't be removed by mistake or by a unintentional discharge. All muzzle protectors will be test fired during the mandatory weapons control to make sure that they won't malfunction.

Participants under 18 must also be accompanied by a person over 18 who takes responsibility for their actions and safety during the entire larp. This person must contact us beforehand. A person under the age of 18 may not, in accordance with Swedish law, use airsoft guns. This also applies to heavy weapons. People under 18 may however use any other kind of approved weapon (bows, latex-weapon).

No one may use pyro or explosives, except trained specialists with approval from the game masters. If you have a cool idea and relevant training/know-how, talk to us.
Do you have a cool nerf gun that you painted in really rad colors? We are very flexible when it comes to approving “odd" weapons, as long as they look good and can't injure other players. Would you like to bring it? Send us an email with your ideas.
We would like to remind everyone that green laser pointers/sights are forbidden according to Swedish law (cheap imported kinds usually lacks IR filter which makes them even more dangerous). All other lasers, need to be category 3 or lower (max 5 mW). Never ever purposely aim a laser into anyone's eye.

Never aim or swing a boffer weapon at someone's head.
Never aim your airsoft gun at someones head unless they are in active combat and no other parts of their body is visible. If someone is firing at you from excellent cover, you may of course fire back at them. They made their choice.
