Face Protection

 We play at both paintball and airsoft facilities, so you will need to have both paintball approved and ballistic goggles:
 * Use paintball-approved (''ASTM F1776-12'') eye protection only at paintball facilities (North Vancouver, Richmond Indoor, Maple Ridge Paintball in the paintball areas)
-* Use fully sealed ballistic goggles (''ANSI Z87.1-2003'' or ''EN166'') or paintball-approved eye protection at airsoft facilities (Bigfoot, Panther, Burma Road Event Site, Maple Ridge Paintball in the airsoft area)
+* Use fully sealed ballistic goggles (''ANSI Z87.1-2003'' or ''EN166'') or paintball-approved eye protection at airsoft facilities (Bigfoot, Burma Road Event Site, Maple Ridge Paintball in the airsoft area)
 We also recommend you wear durable impact resistant protection for your lower face (teeth).  We have had players lose teeth and it's a major change and expense.

 # The American Society for Testing and Standards (ASTM.org) is currently developing standards for Airsoft which will require a minimum of full-seal goggles consistent with ANSI Z87.1 level of protection.  Do not compromise on this requirement.
 # I encourage you to listen to our podcast (http://feeds.feedburner.com/airsoftmedicine) titled, "bang kill," for more discussion on this topic.  The ASTM is going to set a standard of no shot closer than five feet (300 feet per second 0.20 g BB), and no closer than 10 feet with a gun firing 350 feet per second.
