the industry is depending on you! how many bps?

[CoolHand]

how are you planning on limiting mech guns..just curious.

Ah, that's where the gravity fed loaders come in.

Let the marker cycle as fast as it wants to, cheat modes, RT, etc.

Ain't gonna shoot balls faster than they make it into the marker.

Problem solved.

[punkncat]

Oh, on subject I say 15BPS. No ramping or electronic assists of any kind.


The easiest thing for the industry to do would be to outlaw anything other than agitated hoppers. Your marker can be as fast as you want, but you can only use a revi or the like. They will only feed so fast.

[warbeak2099]

I say 20. That's about as high as you can get legally (true semi). The average Joe can do 15 on an electro, but 20 will still throw in some skill to the game. It takes some skill to get up to 20 on true semi. 20 is all you really need too.

[ICP]

I'd say unlimited, AS LONG AS IT IS LEGAL semi only. I think you can have technology be a good thing and progress the sport. But don't take away thetime and effort it takes to get better. ALL ramping,bounce,cheater type things should be eliminated. If you've worked hard enough and long enough that you can get your gun shooting faster than anyone else (legally) you should be able to do it.

Although I do like the unlimited with gravity/agitated loaders. But then I would have to get rid of my Q

[johnson88]

^i agree except all loaders should be legal

[Lohman446]

The average Joe can do 15 on an electro,.

I'm not picking on you, I see this all the time and it annoys me. The average person cannot sustain 15BPS for more than a second or two. We keep raising the BPS issues without anyone actually realizing what is being done. Next time your at the field, have the "fast" shooters shoot over a chrono, you will be surprised at the results. Or better yet, soundwave analyze the string if you get a chance.

Ah, that's where the gravity fed loaders come in.

Would that exclude my warp?

[Bolter]

15 bps is what all tournie series are heading towards. Some will allow ramping. Its taking the importance of the gun out of the game and making player skills and teamwork high factors. I think it could be good. 15 seems about right when everyone on th field has 15bps. Huge skill learning curve.

[Dryden]

My vote is for unlimited, because my feeling is it's the buyers right to choose how fast they shoot their marker.

I choose to play games with others where the honored, gentlemans agreement is to not shoot over maybe 6 to 8 bps, in recognition that at extreme ROFs, the first ball to score a hit is likely going to be followed by 15 more balls that are going to hit, and that safety falls between the players' ears, not the marker in their hands. I mean, we're not playing for thousands of dollars, so what is the point in maiming somebody in a 'friendly' game.

In other words, I wouldn't limit someone else's idea of 'fun' for my personal benefit. I'd just choose not to play with people who play that way.

[Eatem Alive]

unlimited, full auto, i don't care...let's just play ball.

[CoolHand]

Would that exclude my warp?

Probably, but a warp with a revy on it is really no faster than a revy on top of the marker.

But just to be safe, I say outlaw them too. (I'm just messing with ya)

[AGDlover]

i think it should be unlimited but to thease condishions NO CHEATER BOARDS!!!!! that and most pros can only get 15 then say hello to MR. Ramping board and he helps get that 25bps gat that cost more than your moms car. + it would safer

[peewee]

I say 15 max for saftey reasons .

[vonort]

I voted for 5. make them go back to Stock Class play. Be more intresting to watch. And a truer showcase of skills.

[Gumbe]

i say as long as it no bounce semi auto...then i think it shouldnt be caped....
