Active From 1 July 2026

CLASSIC SKIRM

Tactical. Controlled. Realistic. The format for players who love their loadouts disciplined, their pistols as backups, and their CQB built around teamwork, deliberate pacing and considered shots — not pure mayhem.

New rules · From 1 July 2026

From 1 July 2026, Rush B is taking a clear new direction. Regular skirms focus on recreational CQB, fair fights, tactical teamplay and respectful behavior. Competitive speedsoft gear and playstyles move to dedicated Speed Edition skirms — keep an eye on the calendar if that's your thing.

What Is A Classic Skirm?

Classic Skirms are our controlled-tactical format. Rifle primary, pistol secondary only. Replica-length matters. Emphasis is on team play — and welcoming to outdoor players new to CQB and to beginners, thanks to the more methodical, controlled pacing.

"Pistols as backups. Replicas with purpose. CQB the way it was meant to be played."

2026 Rules

Gear Policy

Classic Skirm is recreational tactical CQB — rifle-primary, controlled pace, full kit. It's stricter than Open by design. Bring tactical gear, leave the competitive sports jerseys and mag-adapter pistols at home. Looking for high-pace play? Our dedicated Speed Edition skirms are built for that.

Allowed

  • AEG, GBBR, HPA (standard builds)
  • Rifle as primary (any length)
  • Pistol as secondary only
  • Below 50 cm: real-cap / low-cap mags only (or max 30 BBs per mag)
  • Plate carriers, chest rigs, full tactical kit
  • Casual clothing, airsoft / tactical attire, regular sportswear
  • Drop stocks — only if used to facilitate looking through an aiming device

Not Allowed

  • Pistol as primary
  • Pistol rifle-mag adapters
  • Tank-in-grip / ESG grip HPA builds
  • Competitive sports jerseys (speedsoft, paintball, cycling, motocross — flashy colours, numbers, team names)
  • Speedsoft-style speed belts
  • Trigger spam
No-Speedsoft Policy

No tank grips / ESG builds, speed belts, competitive sports jerseys (speedsoft, paintball, cycling, motocross), trigger spam or overshooting. Fast play and tactical rushing remain allowed. Looking for the high-pace experience? Join our dedicated Speed Edition skirms.

What's banned
Measurement Rules

The 50 cm Rule

On Classic Skirms, replicas measuring under 50 cm may only run real-cap or low-cap magazines (or any magazine capped at max 30 BBs). Rifles 50 cm or longer can run any magazine type, including drums.

How It's Measured

  • Measured tip-to-tip in play configuration
  • Folded / collapsed stocks = measured folded
  • Suppressors count toward total length
  • Marshall measures on arrival if in doubt

Why The Rule

Short replicas already carry an advantage in CQB. The 50 cm rule keeps the field balanced and welcoming — a place to practise skills, not to chase a competitive edge.
