    Please notice that this is NXL only. Divisional xball will in all likelyhood keep the rules that it had before. These rules do not allow bouncing guns.

    With that said, I would like a real source on this info. The fact that someone heard it from an NXL coach or player does not constitute its validity.

        On another note this is the same method that all forms of cheating have become part of the game (notice that I didn't say sport). Once again the people figuring out how to cheat the rules have determined where the direction of the game goes.

        You guys have to live with it, I hope it works out.

        So is that why you're going into the scenario market? You don't want to live with it?

            I never said it was fact. I just said it was a rumor that I heard. Another reason why I never posted it. I'm still waiting till I hear it from a reliable source myself.

              Ditto. If it is true, I will be getting a DM4 before my next tourny.

                Um... unless your next tourney is playing NXL in pittsburgh, I dont see a point to this statement.

                  There is really no point to it, I am just stating, if the trigger spec is changed, then I guess it is worth getting a DM4, because one of my fields has an X ball field, they follow all NXL rules, the next tourny I play is on going to be mostly on an x ball field.

                    So let me get this staight:

                    It's full auto, and therefore illegal, if you hold your finger all the way down.

                    But it's not illegal, if your finger only stays in one spot, and the trigger moves up and down.

                    Talk about semantics......

                    WOW!

                      I'm alright with it if it stays in the Nxl mostly because they all were doing it not just a few and they know going onto the field that they could get hit ten to twenty times. it will be sad if it trickles down to the lower levels of play.

                        You are the first industry person I have ever heard acknowledge that this is not really a sport. It takes a strong man to say "the emperor has no clothes."

                          Basically, nothing is stopping people from pulling the trigger at 1 bps and having the gun shoot 25 bps or so. I don't really like this at all. I guess it makes it look better for tv though, seeing people shoot 25 bps is way cooler then seeing people shoot 15. I like the format of psp way more, but the organization and dedication of nppl is much better. If nppl adopted xball, there would be no reason to play psp.

                            It could have been a sport. That was the goal of X-ball. Now look what they do, like Tom said earlier, this is against ASTM standards. Just limit the BPS to 15 and be done with it. There is no need to shoot any faster. If you can run through a 15bps stream of hellfire, please show me, it's damn-near impossible unless you get incredibly lucky.

                            Another reason why I don't like x-ball nor do I want to play it. And I don't care if it doesn't matter for divisions. The point of x-ball was to make this be a recognizable sport. Them allowing cheaters into the game because they're too pansy to suck it up and DQ players for having illegal guns, then screw it, I don't want to play it.

                              They're not cheaters anymore.

                                Too pansy, or too difficult to enforce evenly and fairly?

                                Unless I am mistaken, there have been players and or teams DQed for illegal guns at every event this year, except for New Orleans.
