umm yes, a lot of scenario or big games let you have full auto.

I have read of some scenario games allowing full auto (I think the latest edition of APG had something in it about one, but I wondered if anyone knew if shatnerball 2 would allow it. Does anyone know if Shatnerball 1 allowed full auto? Maybe they will follow the same format.

i know the tippmann vs the world big games allow full auto i don't knwo if thats considered a scenario though...

Interesting point...

A lot has been argued about how full-auto is so dangerous and that NO insurance would allow it, yet EVERY BIG GAME (senario) I have read about in magazines, allow full-auto. Not to mention other strange homemade guns that have double and tripple barrels!

I would imagine at a scenario, there's quite a bit of paint flying in the air at any given time. Since they allow reactive triggers and full-auto, how many accidents have there been due to the "over-powering" nature of these "dangerous" guns?

I think there is a difference for woods ball, where bunkering moves are certainly less frequent than in Tournaments.

I'm curious... for those who have played in scenarios where you witnessed full-auto, was it really that much more dangerous than some kid dishing out 20 bps on his Timmy?

That's kinda what I was gonna get at. I'm slow and can get 13-14 bps out of my LCD, most lower end guns on full auto can't shoot that fast or at bare minium match that. Then bring in your avg trigger walking psycho who can hit over 16 bps, and it can get ugly. Is there really a difference just b/c I have to pull my trigger instead of holding it down? The only difference I see is shooting on the move or bunkering someone where its harder to walk the trigger in those instances.

They didn't allow FA at Shatnerball last year.

They don't allow FA at Long Island Big Game (although they do allow some multi barrel guns).

I believe the dangers of FA are not necessarily on the field... more in the safe zone and with accidental discharges.

Every big game and senario at Hells Survivors in Pickney Michigan allows full auto.

HS insures themselves so they are all for it, and I have never heard of a full auto induced accident there.

Besides in Michigan Monster game two years ago (last time i went) there were over 4500 people there in the two days of the game, last year i heard over 5000 showed up to play, so there is so much paint flying i doubt full auto matters much.

i played a local scenario game on Sunday, and i've played thre previous two put on by my local field. they've allowed full auto for all three games, and they're an insured field. to be honest, i've been shot at by full auto guns, and it's not really any better than semi. they just waste their paint more quickly. i've only seen it make a huge difference a couple times, and that was when we were gettin pressed pretty hard and the other team was pretty bunched up. i've seen people overshoot more often with semis than autos, though i can't say i blame them. i've seen alot of people on both teams refuse to call themselves out after the first hit. they complain when they get shot 4 or 5 times, yet they bring it on themselves.

I've shot a full auto Tip 98, a modded board Angel and also a full auto Armotech rifle. The Angel Ripped pretty good, but with a bit of shootdown and quite alot of broken paint, even with a HaloB. I'd take a good semi anytime. Doing the typewriter walk on an Emag seems to put out as much or more paint than the full auto junk. Palmer's three barrel grinder is probably the most paintin'est machine I've ever seen, personally.
