Here's an idea that'll get banned from NPPL the next day...

Not...

...necessarily a bad thing, this means that the tourney players will actually start moving rather than sitting behind the bunker shelling out paint.

[PyRo]

It would cost alot, refs would get shot alot, friendly fire incidents would be more common, and you couldn't cover fire somewhere were there was no heat signature.

ya, here in texas, during the summers human heat signitures are cooler than the surrounding air.

Person:96f
Air:105f
heat index:120

Gotta love this state!

I have an idea, why not a warp seeking barrel?? It'll find a person, stretch around their bunkers, and you can shoot them from behind!....

[BTAutoMag]

uh im pretty sure if i see someone that i wanted to shoot was in front of my barrel i would be capable of pulling my own trigger.

[BTAutoMag]

and by the way... lets not help the machines take over the world shall we

[Cypres0099]

I thought I'd add that it can't be called a "safety", but instead a "reverse safety" Let's make the gun so it will be able to shoot when it sees a person.

fun stuff to do with the IR3

While we're on the subject of technology that becomes pointless the second you move out of newbiehood, chew on this - The IR3's have communication from gun to gun, and gun to palm pilot, so you could have someone on the sidelines beaming you the other team's locations! (Don't chew me out for this, I am totally kidding and merely wasting your time.) Also, wireless internet! Buy movie tickets and get stock quotes on your angel IR3! Service starts at $39.99/mo.

[einhander619]

like anybody asked for my opinion...

$1,600 for a marker? What a bunch of idiots... My entire setup, everything, cost me under a grand and I smoke angel shooters left and right. I guess if they have some kind of emotional problem it's understandable, maybe they got beat up alot as a kid and went into late puberty...

its true... not the palm pilot part but the new IR3s do have communications from gun to gun. my dealer called and was asking about them. but seriosly whats wrong with those trigger guards i mean, hello, overkill, discusting, ewww

[FordPrefect]

BT, the IR3's have communication devices in them. The markers have to be in safety mode to send(or receive) messages. You only have 4, preset messages to send. I think I made my point.

[BTAutoMag]

hey i didnt say anything about talking to each other while playing. i was just commenting on the fact that its stupid to put in a paintball gun. also on the fact that the trigger guard is hidious

I just thought of this

What if its a really hot day outside... for example 98 degrees. would the gun just go full auto the min you took the saftey off?

[Bartleby]

paintballs don't move that fast, it's not as if when the trigger is pulled the ball instantly hits the target. unlike a real gun you have to lead the target. if it fired when a target is sensed then you would miss everytime...

[SeigneurDeVoodoo]

Bad idea...

You guys are missing a really big factor....The fact that 80% of the time you must arch your barrel anyways to hit the target...so this makes back players useless. I mean you'd only be able to hit people within a short distance.(Example:Your team mates! )
