So, I turned off ramping today

[Beemer]

I've never seen any studies done on the casualty rate of being attacked by catamount, but I'm willing to bet a lot of money that it's something to avoid. We can't just ignore problems and risks because we don't have studies and data on them. That's some seriously fuzzy logic.

Another sig worthy quote.

why don't i match that 20 spot about the bps vid. hell, i'll throw in 50. i'm an adult, i work. i can do that

Ok I'll match the 50 and another 50 if he lets me do my test on him.
Still want to go with out neck protection?
Dont worry its all for the data and science and we can do it right in the hospital parking lot.

Pay attention now Yak and just maybe you will figure it out.

We dont use shop gogs any more
Full auto was Banned[ to many multiple hits higher RISK at close range]

When the range started to decrease the FPS went down. We use to shoot 350 then 325 then 315 then 300 all as the game evolved to closer range shooting. All this at 5 to 10 bps tops if you were fast or even cheated.

Now the range has decreased even more, FPS has stayed the same and BPS has doubled or tripled. You do the math.

Heck you seem like a good guy I'll make it $100 for the test. After all wouldnt you agree that some testing should be done

Being hit multiple times may be unsafe, but who knows this? I've never seen any tests or investigations into it.

Oh ya Yak, on who this is. Your a smart guy. You figure it out. I will tell you this, he knows but will not say for MANY reasons.

I know who said it. I thought you were gonna pin that quote on me when I didnt say it. Manike said it in a thread about ramping and the 15bps rule. He shortly followed it w/ Guns dont kill ppl, ppl kill ppl.

You do your test on me and then you suffer the consequences for it, then we have a deal.

I would have to say that Full auto is not good. Ramping is allowed because of the three shots first are semi and then you have to hit so many balls per second to ramp up to 15. That is why MOST ppl dont ramp on you when they bunker you. ANd like Ive said before, most of the time I bunker someone their back is to me cause they were shooting out the other side when I made my move.

Even then, I dont bunker ppl in the face or neck area. I always aim lower like in the back or the pack.

If someone bunkered me in the face while ramping, then I would prolly get into it w/ them and they wouldnt do it again.

And your sig is very annoying, why do you go through the trouble of copying and pasting it in all of your posts. Can you not follow the rules like everyone else?

Being hit multiple times may be unsafe, but who knows this?

I guess only those that have been hurt by it. Oh, and those who have witnessed it.

I guess only those that have been hurt by it. Oh, and those who have witnessed it.

And those smart enough to learn from others mistakes. Unfortunately just because I know its dangerous, doesn't mean I don't do it. I am not adverse to accepting risk, but so many people seem intent on ignoring this risk, and discrediting anything that would indicate it may be a risk.

[SCpoloRicker]

Late to the party, SCpoloRicker is.

Somebody bust out the sound analysis yakitori is asking for.

Please.

And, well, you probably already know what I'd like to say.

[Lohman446]

Just for note, over chronos my Shockers ramped at 13-14BPS... The Ion seems a touch slower so I am not even sure that all out ramping is at 15BPS, at least SPs rebound mode.

In My honest opinion, its quite simple. The more you shoot the less you move. Paintball used to be a game of movement, and some type of agility on a few of the players, i agree it still is but it has changed.

I believe as BPS increases, field awarness decreases. One cannot have there eyes continually moving if they simply shoot near one bunker. Time and time again, i have used my classic mag in NPPL turnies and pop shot people right next to their stream of paint.

Though ramping not legal yet in NPPL, the rate of fire stayed continually high, and yet i have had no problem winning.

Now i cant say that everyonce in a while it wouldnt be nice to have a little quicker marker to get some peopel on the run, but whos to say i would have even been in the position to see them if i had shot more previosly to my move.

My 2 Cents,
