heres the article:IR3 Review

kinda.
its not, technically, but any field using ASTM standard will not allow it.
thing is, most fields use ASTM standards..."The Fine Print: Discontinue use if your eyeballs suddenly get way smaller." -
It says in the US AND in countries where full auto is not allowed. It does not say full auto is illegal in the us.AGG!Comment

It's not illegal, but its illegal in tournaments.
Dont forget to wash your hands after you play with the hamsters, or you'll get AIDS!Comment

I don't recall it using the word "Illegal" either. I read that article a while back and seems to me it said "not allowed"?Comment

The only time I use full auto is sometimes when I'm target shooting (although I proved to my friend that loaned me his Angel that there CAN BE no percieved difference between F/A and Semi).There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't.
With understanding comes understanding.
If the saying is true that we are what we eat, aren't we all just cannibals?Comment

ASTM & Legalities
There is currently only one ASTM standard published which restricts the use of other than semi and manual (pump) mode markers. This is the field operations standard. This means that if a field operates according to the ASTM standard it will not allow the use of markers in turbo, full-auto or burst modes. If a marker can be set in semi mode with the other modes "locked out" (require tools or substantial disassembly), then it should be allowed on the field when set in semi mode. Keep in mind that ASTM standards are not "laws". The "teeth" of the ASTM is centered on the increased liability exposure a company faces if it fails to comply with a published standard. ASTM standards often take years to develope with great amounts of discussion and refinement before being published.
FA, Burst, etc... IS restricted in some countries other than the US. For example, the IR3 which is made in the UK and sold in the US is different from the one made AND sold in the UK due to their more restrictive laws.J.J. Brookshire

maybe your teammate with the ir3 should buy an emag kev, that way his gun wont die on him in the middle of a game and he ends up getting bunkered by 3 newbie tourney players
