1、Designation: F 2679 07Standard Specification for6 mm Projectiles Used with Low Energy Air Guns1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2679; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A

2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification establishes requirements and charac-teristics of low energy airgun projectiles which help definewhether a low ener

3、gy airgun projectile is suitable for use in thesport commonly called airsoft, air soft, or soft air. Furthermore,the specification establishes minimum warning and packagelabeling to help ensure that the low energy airgun projectilesare used in a safe manner and that the risk of injury is reduced.1.2

4、 LimitationsThis specification does not cover the fol-lowing categories of projectiles: Projectiles covered by Con-sumer Safety Specification F 590 (non-powder guns projec-tiles), Specification F 1979 (paintballs), Specification F 2573,and Specification F 2574; liquid filled or metallic projectiles,

5、toy products, and non-recreational projectiles such as thoseused by law enforcement, scientific, or military agencies.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thes

6、afety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
