AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
as far as tourneys go it shouldnt be legal at all!!! as far as at the feild i work at i check every gun at the chrono and always ask to that i personally shoot it.. we are a noobie field so thats all i have to look for.. now if i ever got someone with this trigger i would allow it but there is ofcoarse going to be one condition every game he goes against me ill match his bps with my own!! he wont get more than one shot off i swear thats how i deal with cheaters!
But your not talking about NPPL NXL stuff with a Spyder (usualy) this is aimed at the starter player...so the point of it being tourny legal is moot in my mind.
Rec fields (where this will show up) dont check for bounce,cheaters, etc. They just check chrono speed and let you on to mow down folks.( I cant count how many times Ive been "torched" on a rec field playing vs. advanced players)
So ...more to the point ...If you owned a field would you have your refs check for this type of set up at the chrono?
And then what do you do when thse players get told that they cant use that marker...and complain " But you allow the Timmys,DM4,5s, Imps, etc. to go on unchecked!!"(for rampers,cheaters,bounce)
Yeah you can tell the spyder guys ,"tough !" but...in my mind(being the evil vindictive bastige that I am) I would go out ,buy a cheater capable marker, ramp it up as far as it will go and let loose on that field...just to prove a point.
Yeah , I know ...there are a few things wrong with my scenario but...you get the idea. 1 marker designed to have an edge is no different than another.
So again...let them allow it. Its no worse or better than any other marker that has a built in advantage.
if your comment was directed at me i never said go play a tourney with it. I have seen a lot of electro spyders at different tournies though (cfoa and acts, and many local tournies). I was just backing up the guy that said only 1 switch is allowed. I think the trigger is a cool idea, and since it is a spyder they should let them be legal (that is not a knock against them, but they are still slow). I still want to see an osiris roll to its full potential.
my feedback
countdown on devilmag day........ill let you now
Phantom- No it wasnt aimed at you...sorry if thats the way it came out. I was just more talking to those who were stating from a tourny POV. And since local tournys make up the rules as they go (alot so I have seen and such) I was more talking about the NPPL and NXL stuff...or not ...as the case may be.
i say legalize it... ergonomically speaking, there is no way that can shoot faster than walking a normal trigger.... cause its not as if there were a shot on the pull and on the release... its that there are 2 independent triggers that each have to be pulled in the opposite way of each other..... 2 fingers can only tap ~16 times per second for fast guys so i dont see that one mechanical difference will matter..
plus this design forces the user to exert equal force with bith fingers in opposite directions... i know for a fact that we all have a dominant finger for walking the trigger, this design will eliminate the choice of having one finger outwalk the other.....
crappy design that will sell on BS hype. legalize it, i'll still shoot them out.
Yeah you guys are right. All paintball is nowadays is shooting as fast as you can Well then you can buy a dm4 with a ramping chip and v35 halo, shoot 25 bps, and you still won't be able to compete with any pro in the world.
