nppl cap rule?

[rikkter]

i just got wind that either in the mid of 2004 season, or the start of the 2005 season, than NPPL is gonna have a 14bps cap.

anyone else hear about this or no?

[tony3]

no need for a halo anymore lol, i think its a great idea

[barberjohn]

great idea! man, i was getting sick of all this talk over shooting past like 20 bps and stuff, i mean, i bunkered three people in one game with my NON-ELECTRO mag this weekend, so speed doesnt really help that much. the only thing i can see wrong with it is that the back men will not be able to shoot cases of paint each game, and the paint suppliers will go down in sales .

[tony3]

well technically if a backman shot 14 bps and the game last 5 minutes a back guy could shoot 4200 rds, but then again he would also need a 4200 rd hopper, because you would have to take in reloading times

I dont know if this will happen or not because, We have to think of every gun that that has a higher cap than 14, what will they do buy a new gun. Will nppl offer a flash for every kind of marker. what about those mech markers that can go over 14bps ex) Z-man rt-pro, Nicad cocker/mag.
This would cost a crap load of money and time to do this, not to mention a pain in the but. I would love to see this happen but, I dought it will.
Sorry guy/girls Pete.

if the cap rule was true, all you have to do is get the good ol revy outta the gear bag and slap it on,

[Zumina]

yah, it's for the better. The paintball arms-race really irritates me.

[Resist148]

Yup now if only fields would enforce it too. Getting tired of being overshot by a 13 year old with debounce 1 on his timmy.

I will be super pissed if this happens. What would be the point? Paintball is fine the way it is.

Skill and tactics over volume.

I second that!

January 4th 2003- Rabid Squirrels, an all pump team, place 6th out of 17 teams in a local open class tournament. 4 teams were novice, ~4 more rookie, the rest beginner.

But we were the only mechanical markers... so if BPS wins the day we never should have gotten so far. I think that a bps cap is a good thing, too many people now think its cool to lay out long strings and over shoot.

Most people hate being overshot but I still hear kids laugh and congradulate each other when they light someone up bad.

[Lohman446]

So... how does one cap a mechanical marker? Are they banned by such a rule?

maybe theyll make an angel only class and then there wont be any problems with guns shooting to fast. Seriously though they cant limit bps, because most guns dont have a bps limit feature on them so I think any major player would ditch the nppl and play in some other league. I also congragulate(sp) people who reallly light people up as long as they didnt do it on purpose, for example someone tried to do a run by bunkering on me and took 15 balls in the side because he ran with my bead i felt no sorrow because it was either him or me.

thats exactly what i was thinking about.
i see all these timmys and such without a cap, or without anyway to adjust the bps limit.
myself, just bought a viking, and it has was, and eyes, so its uncapped, and no way to adjust it unless you turn eyes off. but then its capped to 20.

so i agree with you, i think it would be very hard to enforce, and may not go through, since about 90% of the guns, dont have limits on them.

good pick with getting the viking, I know i love my viking and youll like yours too.
