34bps?! What?!

[Marek]

I have stated before that I know little about the Mag family. It is not part of the industry that I am dealing with, or likely to ever deal with.

Im sure members of AO are crushed at your decision not to explore the realm of Mags. I for one will have sleepness nights of crying from the loss. Besides, I'm not too sure if you could last AO for much longer.

Debounce, Dwell, and Reset are all locked out in COMPETITION (tournament) mode. Bill Cookston saw more than 200 players at the World Cup with Equalizers, and not a single player was pulled (or even warned to my knowledge) for having multiple shots on a single pull.

In another post by WickedAirSportz I can tell you when refs are hired for $100 a day "no experience necessary" (such as at the World Cup this year), special chrono procedures would not occur.

[WickedAirSportz]

Pneumatic recoil does not make a switch bounce.

Huh? You must be kidding.

The Debounce feature of the Equalizer does not handle just your typical switch debouncing, it also is a delay period required after the switch oscillation stops to prevent the recoil from repulling the trigger.

Uh-oh - somebody caught in a lie :)

Well, just got off the phone with PACT and they stated (as I expected) that their chronos (all models) CANNOT record more then 1 shot per second. The explanation (since they are ballistics chronos) is to avoid false readings from smoke or ejecta (like shotgun wads).

Well, Jim if your Impulse expert really did use a PACT then there is a problem - but I think we knew that when you dredged him up from another "gun family" forum.

Once again, where's your proof?

Bill Cookston grabs your gun, and if he can get it to fire more than 2 shots (on ocassion) then it is not legal. At the World Cup he allowed 2 shots due to marker recoil, and only if it rarely occured.


It just amazes me that people in the Automag forum seem to insist that they know better how my own products work. The Debounce works exactly as I described, like it or not.

I have numerous years experience developing pneumatics for the special effects industry, as well as designing hardware/software for such companies as Amblin Entertainment, Industrial Lights and Magic, and others. I am not new to this game.

Good to know... I will forward this information and see where we stand.

Hmmm, I guess it's our mistake on not knowing your product or definition of "bounce."

We were alway thinking "bounce" was what Bill Mills was tlaking about here:

Or you can see it here:

Sorry for the confusion.

Umm.. I saw what FOM put up, if that's what you're talking about.

No doubt, he's a great guy. A good friend of mine bought an impulse setup from him at a great price, and he's quite happy with it, but his reputation on a internet-forum isn't enough.

The problem (current to the board) Isn't being isolated. For all we know, it could be that there was a piece of teflon tape in the system, and when he swapped out batteries, he happened to blow the piece of tape out of the system, and his gun continued to work correctly.

what I would like to see (then I'll shut up) is a volt/current measuring/regulating device hooked up to your stock Intimidator main-board. Power the board correctly, and then give use chronograph datat. Power the board incorrectly, and then give us chrony data once more.

Then install your equalizer board, and then do the same.

all, of course, in a contained environment where you won't have to worry anything like teflon tape getting into the regulation system.

Run the same test a few times to find a base-line of data, and rule out all other outlying data.

also, using nylon paintballs, as AGD does will also take out the factor that FOM could have been using out-of-round paint.

[WickedAirSportz]

BTW, there is no BPS cap in the NPPL, PSP, or PanAm events.

Once again.. he has none.. personally I'm tired of hearing about Jim Drew.

I knew from his first post about his WAS revvy upgrade with AI he was full of #$@%. He may know electronics.. but he knows very little about paintball, paintball guns, or other peoples intelligence.
He reminds me of one of those LOW I.Q. people who got lucky enough to get some experience doing something.. got a few certs (which anyone can do given the right transcenders) and now he's a self proclaimed Genius who knows EVERTYHING about one thing... his Equalizer. Well I'm still waiting on CLEAN video of your gun firing 25 bps WITH PAINT as the Emagnum did.. until then... you're word holds as much water as a bucket missing the bottom.

Also about holding the gun upside down.. You CALL THAT DATA!? Thats goofing off.. no one I know hangs upside down while playing paintball. Get real.. and get some HARD COPY DATA!

Cledofrd hit the nail on the head.. you have circular logic always willing to brag about.. never willing to show HARD proof of your "Findings" Worse than a used car salesman...

I will NEVER BUY A WICKED AIR SPORTS PRODUCT EVER! I'VE ALSO VOWED TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW HOW MUCH HORSE #$%^ YOU'RE FULL OF.

I would like this to be done and posted by someone other than myself. Considering that I have a relationship with Bob Long, and the stock boards are still being included with the GZ and 2K2 models, it would be foolish for ME to prove this. I already know the results. You don't even need a chrono to get the results, just use a digital storage scope and watch the dwell time.

Where is a CLEAN video of the Emag shooting 25 bps?

[joeyjoe367]

You're entirely correct Jim. I don't know if I would believe you if you said you'd done something like I described, simply because of your reputation.

Maybe this is a project for the Technical Roundtable?

[WickedAirSportz]

Joey, LOL!

BTW, it's nice to be back fighting with everyone (yet again). :)

[PigSweat]

I've played with/agianst/alongside Strick 9 (Calgary, Alberta), Jim. I don't care what everyone else says, your boards obviously work. (NUMEROUS welts to prove that!)

When you release your Impulse EQ board, I will be first in line to buy it, finances allowing.
