Nice.

Hopefully it will filter down through the rest of paintball.

I saw a couple 5 min penalties today at the la open and I was told it was for illegal guns. Caught me off guard.

When they say "illegal mode" what, exactly, does that mean? Is it a question of too-low a debounce, or something else?

[Butterfingers]

BRAVO!

[Halliday]

2nd bravo!

Can you go into more depth of the "illegal modes?"

There are various "cheater" boards. One of the most common is the ramped board. Basically at the chorno it shoots fine. One pull one shot. No bounce. Consistent. BUT as you shoot faster it ROF ramps. Sorta like a the old turbo boards. Usually they start ramping at about 10 bps then start doubling from there.

Another cheat is the trigger firing when it returns. Has to be a fast kinda slap return. When you pull the trigger and let it slap back forward. You can get 2 shots per pull this way. Reason you normally can't find this cheat is that refs don't check for bounce that way.

Crazy. Wasn't Manike playing with igntion at WC? I thought I read something about that, they are an empire teamright?

Good news! I hope they really expose how much cheating there is in paintball. Cheating is becoming more and more accepted as part of the game. I really wish more people were honest and played fair.

I was at the LA Open today, and I saw PLENTY of cheating (playing on, wiping hits with slides, turn and shoot after they get eliminated, etc.), as well as good refs who caught them.

I saw some crazy ROF today too... made me wonder about their shooting modes a little... I mean, it's obvious when you watch someone walking their fingers at a slow to med pace, a then their gun fires faster than what you're used to hearing on the field. Makes you go, "hmmmmm..."

By far the most common guns at the event were (in order):

1. Intimidators (regular and alias)
2. DM4
3. Impulse
4. E-blades

San Diego Legacy and LA Ironmen confiscated guns

[Underdog]

hah. im glad they were confiscated. electro is overrated. just another thing to fail at the time its needed most....stupid murphys law! but now it is finally cracking down on the "guns of mass destruction" this is common even at my field. its not fun when before you get gogged three times in the goggles....their fingers hitting the trigger 1.

Makes you wonder just how popular these markers are goingto remain now that you can no longer use the illegal modes.
