When can a BB be inserted into the BB gun?

• A. A BB may be inserted at any time before the command.
• B. A BB may be inserted into the BB gun only at the firing point and after the command 'IS THE LINE READY'.
• C. A BB may be inserted after the command 'COME ON'.
• D. A BB may be inserted during the preparation period.

Answer: (B)

Loading is done only when the range has given a clear safety cue: you load at the firing point after the line is ready. This timing keeps everyone in position and ensures the area downrange is safe before any BB is placed in the gun. If you loaded during the preparation period or before the readiness check, there’s a real risk of an accidental discharge or someone standing in a unsafe spot. The line readiness command serves as the moment when it’s known that all shooters are ready and the range is clear, so loading can proceed safely.
