nppl cap rule?

[bunkermaster10]

I wouldn't care because then I could rock my Revy on the angel like back in the day. Just set my angel at 14bps and I would still be happy w/ that. I am a front guy though......

Umm, correct me if I'm wrong, but can't he only go over 14 bps by sweetspotting, something already not allowed in NPPL? And even so, it'd be a lot easier to limit your RoF on a mech than an electro.

what about safty

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

This is smart, if we had felt this way back in 88 we would still be shooting 325fps using uvex gogs and be blind.

So... how does one cap a mechanical marker?

Any one in NPPL using a mech marker?

[tbr13]

Highly doubt this will go in effect.
It would be highly detrimental for NPPL tournament series if they enforce this rule.

And even Though I play front and almost never shoot long fast strings, and whether or not this passes it won't really bother me personally.....all of you people who complain about too many BPS quit your whining and learn to snap shoot.

I snap out Paint floods all the time....

And yes it does suck running through a hose in the field or getting nailed 10 times while being bunkered....but that just makes me play harder and try not to get bunkered again.

Quit Whining Play HARDER!!!!

So tired of kids complaining about the guns and over shooting....debounce....blah...blah....blah....bla h....

Go back to the woods if you want a slower paced game.
Its air ball learn and live with the game...or get the hell out.

By the way I play with an original RT + Race Cocker, and I play both woods and airball.

explain how this would be feasible. its not. There is no way that everyone who plays NPPL is gonna buy a new marker, or get new software, etc. Its too expensive, so most would probably just keep their guns the way they are and hop on over to PSP.

ill say more later, but now ive gotta do a physics lab

They wouldn't, eh?

I kinda remember when folks had to modify their guns to get under the 300 fps limit. Or, when people had to buy full facemasks and stop using shop goggles. Those aren't cheap you know......

It'll happen if the manufacturers want it to happen, and not a day before. The ROF cap has been posed before and "agreed" upon, wink wink wink. It only lasted about as long as it takes to read this sentence.

There's a lot of crying over spilt milk here. We're talking about capping electros. They are the easist markers to cap to a certain ROF. One little software upgrade and your there. Sure, it'll somehow cost an arm and a leg, but its very easy to do.

Plus, regardless of caps or ego, or what have you, there are a lot of people out there not really topping 14 bps anyhow. Sure, maybe 15-16, but your so close to the cap numbers wise that it won't change one bit. Some of you are acting like we just banned an amendment here.

Not that I really believe their going to do it anyway........

Skill and tactics over volume? Go play recball. Nothing wrong with rec, but thats what you describe. Most maggers are reccers, and hate the fact that there precious emag is slow as fudge, so would kill for mech only tourneys and capped electros. Bleh, you know its the truth, and there isnt much argument against it.

beemer - that made no sense at all. I dont even know what to say to that, as every word seems out of place.

In conclusion, folks, this just isnt possible. SO much would have to go into making this work, and many would likely give up on the NPPL all togethor. All that would happen is the NPPL would piss a bunch of people off, and make about 40 people happy, which dont play in the NPPL to begin with.

[bunkermaster10]

Yea this probably won't happen. And if it does it will be a huge problem for many guys w/ markers that can't put a limit on. I don't mind playing w/ guys shooting a million BPS or 14, so whatever happens I'm kool with it. But I say keep it the way it is.

[~WarpedRT#2~]

Squid, you should see how Cyberious' X-Mag shoots. It isnt slow, trust me. And the E-Mag I owned wasn't slow by any stretch of the imagination. I think normal E-Mags are a tad slow, but they can still keep up.

Look, the problem here is, it would take too much money to implement such changes. They need to start a whole new league that uses such guns. Mechanical guns, and lower capped ones. They could make a whole line of boards for all the guns, and make you use them when you play.

Uh, what? My X-Mag, with 3.2 software is as fast as anything else out there. I don't know hwere you're getting your info, bud...

You guys asleep on the post? there is an easy fix to this.. No Force feed loaders! There is your cap.

Try and push 17 on an x board revy.

I think most of you are very short sighted. Open up the tourney series to more people, industry gets larger, more people in some of these tournies, etc.... nevermind, my words fall on closed ears..

hate the fact that there precious emag is slow as fudge

That is a pretty moronic statement. You should know better.

[-=Squid=-]

Ok ok, im sorry, and will correct myself. Emags arent slow as "fudge" as I put it, but are not as fast as other guns, even with 3.2 They have a 20bps cap, meaning you can only hit 15-17 tops. Mags are awesome, I love them, but everyone as well as I know that a mag was not made to be electric, and the emag is not as good as a gun as it could be.

My point is this... lately I have noticed a lot of maggers are complaining about speed, and want mech only tourneys, bps caps etc... but the fact of the matter is that its the mags fault, and nothing more. They cannot keep up with other guns in terms of speed, efficiency, etc.

Dont get me wrong, I love mags, but like I said before, paintball doesnt need to change for AGD, AGD needs to change for paintball. Yes, I know that thats not what this thread is about, but thats what it is turning into.

In my oppinnion there is no reason to put a cap, and I also dont think it can be done without making a LOT of people angry.

And gtrsi, you know nothing compares to that viking of yours

Actually its not. Its capped at 20 bps, as opposed to NO cap on many and most other high end electros. My info came straight fomr AGD. If you think im bashing mags, just read my above post.

Squid... hush.

Tell me squid,
how many guys on the Rockie or mamture level consistantly shoot 20 bps. I played aganist some guys this weekend that had some dam fast fingers but I am willing to bet my oats that they were no where near 20bps.

Kasier Bob and I were playing this weekend and we had alittle chat about Halos. Some guys say that they chop becuase halos are to slow.... So you are telling me that there are that many players out there that run 22+, I doubt it. More than likly the loader isnt as fast as the mind perceives it to be.
