If you are interested in building some physreps for Game Items, please let us know and share some images of your work - it might help to inspire others! | + | Some example item styles used by each Faction can be seen on the Pinterest boards indicated on each Faction's pages.

| * **Medium Energy Weapons** are any dart gun that is neither a Light Energy Weapon nor a dart gun able to fire larger MEGA darts.

| + | Many people like to make modifications to their dart blasters to either improve their performance or alter their appearance. Any blasters that have been internally modified to improve their performance must be tested each event by members of the game team. Modified blasters must not exceed a dart speed of 120fps. | ||

| + | Solid rubber tipped darts are not permitted at OSLRP events. These hard tips can be quite painful, and when fired from a weapon that is close to the speed limit are considered unsafe. As darts are often scavenged and reused by different participants from time to time, we have banned any solid-tipped darts. Darts used at Orion Sphere LRP must have a compressible tip (the tip squashes down slightly when it is pressed) - usually these tips will have a honeycomb structure or have a small hole to allow air to escape when the tip is compressed. | ||
| A list of common dart guns can be found on [[Energy Weapon Physreps|this page]], with the category they fall into and the faction look their design is most suited for. You can find a step-by-step guide for painting up a dart gun to look more in-character [[Painting a Dart Gun|on this page]]. | A list of common dart guns can be found on [[Energy Weapon Physreps|this page]], with the category they fall into and the faction look their design is most suited for.

In order to grant its protection to a location, an armour physrep must cover at least 50% of that location. |

| + | * Should be constructed from a material that is able to resist significant impacts and weight on it without cracking - ideally polycarbonate. No acrylic or laminated glass or anything else liable to crack, splinter or shatter. | ||
| + | * Wooden formers (generally plywood) are liable to be quite heavy to achieve the required strength, and must be covered with at least 6mm dense foam padding on the front. | ||
| + | * If the shield has a significant curve to it (like a police riot shield), ideally the most directly forward-facing part of the curve should be padded also. | ||
| + | * Although physically impacting another player or barging with a shield are already not permitted in the rules, doing so with a hard-cored shield is liable to get the offender immediately removed from the event. | ||
