    ALL ASTM Team

    Could an ALL ASTM team compete in todays paintball world?? Oh wait they droped the BPS down to TEN BUT I have guys that CAN shoot faster then that to ASTM standards.

    Before you vote you might want to ask some questions.

    For starters its one shot one pull. NO mech or E bounce AT ALL. YOU Have to pull it[skill]

    Like I said ask some questions and be informed BEFORE you vote.

    Is a return assist[AGD RT against ASTM????] Is it TRUE semi[no] is it still OSOP?? I say yes.

    So My ASTM team has some FAST and SLOW shooters, one shot one pull.

    My fast guys can really do 12 PLUS SPS and my slow guys are at 10 or less, but none the less we are a Pro/Am team playing the circuit[for 5 plus years] with some GREAT sponsorship and we KNOW tactics and strategy and play well as a TEAM.[ALL ASTM]

    So our PAINT and GUNS meet or exceed ASTM standards, CAN we compete and WIN????

    Oh ya dont forget the Paint ASTM standards cause THAT is what we are using. I will say more and post the standards in my next post. Ask yourself this, how big and how heavy is the PAINT you are using????

      ^^^^Well its all about where we were and WHERE we are NOW.

      As in ROF modes ASTM standards etc..... We need to ask the questions and get answers.
      But alas NO ONE is ASKING the Questions.

            i am ready to be enlightened.

            As i wait, I will say that in competative sports ones limitations or advances in technology does not garantee a win or loss.

              I'll join in asking... WTF? ASTM? I'm still wondering about how mags fit into just about any of the new rules... good thing I don't play tourny any more... haven't in years. I like my paintball just the way I started... but I get hounded every so often to get back in so mark me as interested in whatever ASTM is.

                Im still a little unclear on the rules. Im not sure mechs are allowed since there is no way to cap the rof.

                So are you asking, that if one team is ramping, and one team is playing semi, can the semi team compete?

                Personally, I HATE the 10 bps cap. I can out shoot that in semi.

                      would most markers made today meet this spec ;

                      6.5.2 All paintball markers intended to be used with refillable
                      cylinders shall be able to withstand input pressure of three
                      thousand pounds per square inch 207 bar (3000 psi)
                      without
                      catastrophic failure. Leaking in a manner which would not
                      cause injury to the operator shall not constitute failure.

                      I wonder if they are even tested to see if they will

                        I'm sure they'd be fine, but they'd definitely leak. Only something like a Mag or a Tippmann would hold air under that. Maybe an AKA, but I'm not sure what their LPR's can handle.

                              I can live within ATSM standards. The question becomes can such a team compete at a high level without cheating?
