This is strictly up to the folks who run the fields! As the velocity does not exceed 300 FPS (typically 200-250 FPS), chances are good that you'll be allowed to use it on your field.
This.... makes me think that the realistic velocity range for this is really in the 200-250fps range, instead of 300fps. So, lets do our math off of 225fps instead. That's a whole lot easier to reach than 300. (heck, most fields are 285 nowdays anyhow...)
150psi isn't a hard and fast rule. That's a guideline. There's no good reason that the goblin launchers can't really be doing 180psi, and expect say, 1 in 30 or 50 balls to blow up in the barrel. That's not an acceptable number in a gun doing 10bps for 10 minutes at a time, but for a two shot marker? That ain't so shabby.
You'll also note that they sell very small barrels for these things. I think they are banking on the pressure build up behind the ball before the ball gets moving.
Anyone know what the valving system looks like in these things?
