    What's the deal with buying new boards for stuff?

    My brother just got a new board for his Trix. He claims it now shoots faster. How is this? He was not outshooting his old board, I know that. However this new one shoots faster somehow! Why do people even bother! Is it the debounce or something that is just adding some shots in there or what? I thought that pretty much the only thing limiting how fast you can shoot is the trigger mechanism, switch, etc. But how come new boards are selling like crazy? People really think they shoot faster with new boards. Please, someone explain this to me, a mech-using person!

      Hype.

      Stupid people buy it.

      Most people will find it difficult to hit the Cap on their stock board unless it's capped at like 10bps (certain spyders and the rainmaker for example)

              That is one of the most ignorant comments I've heard in a long time (regarding paintball that is). I hope u don't believe that...

              I'm assuming his brother bought the Tadao board for his Trix. I have 2 teamates who just upgraded to this board and it is a much better board, not to mention MUCH faster. It has to do with the efficiency of the programming and the proccessing of the code/signals. It's like saying: "Why do people upgrade their computers when their old computers work just fine?" People want the newest, most up to date technology in paintball just as people do in EVERY other hobby/sport.

              This whole "HYPE" thing needs to die, the word has been beaten to death.

                  A paintball gun's circuit board isn't very high-tech or cutting edge.

                  A board is as simple as making an LED light up. It aint rocket science.
                  BAM!
