2、, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers low velocity projectile markers(herein referred to as LVP marker) that propel

3、a low velocityresilient material projectile (herein referred to as LVRMprojectile as defined in Specification F2573) by means ofenergy released by compressed air, compressed gas, or acombination thereof, with velocity not to exceed 53.34 m/s(175 ft/s).1.2 LVRM projectiles are made of a resilient mat

4、erial andhave a diameter no smaller than 20 mm (0.7874 in) and nogreater than 30 mm (1.18 in.). The hardness of the LVRMprojectile is to be no greater than 75 Shore 00. The weight ofthe LVRM projectile is not to exceed 4.0 g.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values

5、 given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, Section 8, of this specification. Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof
