Ooops, I didn't search for the right thing I guess.

We will be making new firmware available for the Intimidator and Viking Equalizer boards that basically is the same firmware we have been using for the Impulse, NME, Pimp Kit, etc. for quite some time. This new firmware allows the rate of fire to be set from 10 to 30 bps. However, we will not comply with the ramping rule.

I never got any feeling that he said that PSP said, it must ramp, where did you see that? I may have just missed it.

[phantomhitman]

he is mad because it is UNSAFE! if he actually means that, which is does seem, he seems to be a stand up guy. he is more worried about how easy it to pull off 15bps and people getting injured-overshot than the ramping is legal issue. good for him!

[joez]

Wait a minute, Jim Drew at WAS is actually saying cheater boards are unsafe

Of all companies, WAS, that is great.

LMAO... you don't recall some of the more memorable Jim Drew moments if you think he's a great stand up guy. Sorry Jim, one incident does not sway most peoples opinions.

Hey, I still don't like anything WAS, just thought it was about time someone with some influence said something.

[FireITup14]

i think i agree with WAS, what is wrong with a 15 cap that is all semi?

Sam - A few things I seem to think your missing considering the level you play at ( Not a knock )

If your playing a team that has ramping software that allows them to mow at 15bps easy they dont have to work at it. And your playing with fully Semi software you are at a competitive disadvatage. As a manufacture of an "performance" aftermarket part if you part is deemed slower than B product then its not as good and your sales drop.

The reason WAS is any where is he was the first to program his boards with a way to control the way the borad interpts electrical switch bounce. A programable filter and some nifty programs and the Intimidator go from dud to stud.

Now there is all kinds of custom boards/chips and crap that do all sorts of things. The PSP is taking the easy way out and just putting a BPS cap on things.

I picked up a Timmy because to be honest even with a hAir I was at a bit of a disadvantage playing back corner. When 2 or 3 guys with TADEO chips turn on you and you throwing 13-16 bps down tape and you have a combined 50+ coming back you tell me who ends up winning that battle ?

If they would just enforce a Semi only 15 bps cap then it would be all good. Make the rules like the NPPL, cought with a cheater gun the teams is DQ. That simple

When he said " we will not comply with the ramping rule" he" did not mean that the board/gun in use is illegal but that the boards will not have a "ramping" feature that the PSP rule now allows

my take on ramping...these new rule changes are going to cause serious injuries these next couple of seasons. Just when paintball was making headway to become a mainstream televised sport, decisions like these are going to bring a dark cloud back over us.

Example: I was watching a practice @ S.C. about 3-4 months ago. On the break a player superman dived into the snake hitting his head on a weight that had been put there. He was knocked out or atleast dazed enough to not move and was bombed on by the back right player. By the time he realized the guy was hurt about 20+ balls had broke on him and around him. He was ok but this just shows what could happen. Back then ramping was still "illegal" now that everyone can do it freely it will get worse.

Be safe out there.
