NXL trigger spec changed

[pito189]

Is there a formal definition of what a pull (minimum pull?) is?

Pull the trigger, release and one shot is fired. Not more than one. I would assume thats it, i'm sure they have some fancy wording for it though.

That would be the obvious meaning. That there would be a one to one correspondence between the trigger's pull/release cycle and shots fired.

Or were you getting at something else, Goatboy?

C'mon guys, this has been discussed before.

Well bill, im waiting to find out if you have any information on this so called news break, i figured you would have the real facts.

It's not true. They're considering it, but haven't written a new rule, let alone voted on it yet (rules changes have to pass by a 2/3 vote of the owners.)

I'm greatly hoping for serious injuries, or even a death or two. Because until then nothing is going to change and nothing will be cracked down on. Rather instead more and more rules and regulations will be pushed aside or ignored or bent for the big-wig sponsors.

"How could you wish for something like that?" Well it's easier than you think. Besides nothing every really happens until a pissed off outcry occurs from tragic events.

I won't say I'm hoping for serious injuries, but I'm certainly waiting for them. It's inevitable with the way things are going.

But I'm also waiting/hoping for the day we get serious about safety.

Check it

No New Trigger rules.

Exactly. And safety won't be an important factor of enforcement or thought until [see my previous post]...

Ugh, makes me sick..

As has already been said, people like to see action. Its sick how immoral we as a society (read: Westerners) have become, and if you want proof just turn on your TV. People valueing sex over things that actually matter 20 years down the line. Hot girls, Nice cars, Lots of money, we all buy into it. this is just another sign we're (read: Westerners) heading down the crap-shoot. I personally think the only way we can ever be deemed a sport is to start instituting same gear for each tourney. Bland? Maybe, but it will put more emphasis on player ability. And yes, this is likely to not happen, but I think it has to be done to make paintball a sport. Now I (and several others) personally am fine rocking away with my 7bps automag, I have just as much fun and I shoot alot less. But, then the crap shows up (read: 'Gangstas', you know the type) and demand faster guns. Why did I ever pick this game up...

Wait, I remember why. Because I went out one day with a paintball gun, gear, and a friend, to a field. We played, had a blast, and suddenly I thought 'This is my game..'. At this point neither of us even knew what matrixes or impulses were, it was such a simple world; Piranhas, Spyders, Tippmanns, and Angels. Thats all we knew and we didnt care. Then I became more involved and read into just about everything, and since that day I've been losing passion for paintball. What tears me is, I just started but I'm already dreading the next game... wow this blows..

Two points:
(1) Western society has its faults, but rest assured that we are not alone.

(2) When the crap gansta kids show up, and when you read things that make you unhappy... go elsewhere, and stop reading. I haven't bought a paintball magazine in five years, and I only started reading the forums when I had a slow day at work. Find people who want to play paintball the same way you do, and play with them. Let the rest of the world go to hell on it's own time.
