I can agree and disagree with your argument on the banning of Nerf rockets for scenario play. On one hand, the do pose a hazard if not used right. However I have seen for my self a 20 round paintball shot that didn't spread. The paint was at least a year old, and had been setting in it's loaded launcher shell for probably that long. The whole thing was hard as a rock, and went straight through the soft metal side of a trailer we were shooting at. My friend who had the launcher thought it was funny. My reaction was what would happen if that had been some soft netting on a side or front window of a tank, or even a foot player. Nerf rockets allow players the ability to get more of a chance to take out tanks than paintballs do. Looking at the D-Day rules for destroying a tank with paint, it is almost impossible, unless you are standing within the 10 foot zone to do. However with a nerf rocket that is more accurate there is a better chance of getting a "kill" than with paint. I do not however believe that nerf rockets should be launched at bunkers, buildings, or pill boxes. This is a hazard that the players should not be exposed to. If you want to destroy a bunker with a bazooka, or tank gun. Use specially colored paint. Any of the colored paint on the object and it is destroyed.
