    5) 30+ bps capablity

    wouldn't that be rather unnecessary since the gun won't ramp and the legal cap is 15

    seems someone else had the same thought...

      Then do it.

      I rarely see people go past 15. They may "hit" 16... but they can't hit that everytime they start using the gun.

      I can "hit" 18... without bounce/ramp etc. but I stay consistent around 16... I'm the only person I've seen who can shoot that fast.

        as long as it has flair and style, I would buy one.

        I still run with a E1 cocker and a mag, so I wouldnt miss having it.

          The original post sounds like a mech. I wouldn't do it.

            isn't that a Speed 05? (i'm exagerating btw)

            i'm not really into angels, so i dunno if there are any "chips" availiable for it, but in its stock form, it is semi only.

              The idea is not the features the marker has, I threw out a list for an example, let me just say it has all the features you could want, except ramping and there was theoretically no way to get ramping. It was cost competetive with the other super markers out there. Does the lack of ramping hinder sales?

              Edit: yes this is going somewhere, I just want to see some more opinions on how it would effect sales before I put out my thoughts on this.

                  hi

                  yes i wouldget one without ramping. Why.....


                  Well the most Games i play is woods. And there is not really need for speed. But however. If the Marker is light and small and Aftermarket Parts available I would get one.

                    Ramping is not allowed at any field where I regularly play so If your gun was under $500 I'd buy one.

                    I like the fact that I can flash the Entropy board in my Timmy with their newest software but I'd give up that ability for a gun like you discribe.

                    As far as the general comunity goes I think Sartley is right, you've discribed the perfect gun so almost all paintball players would be willing to forego "ramping" for it. I'd bet that even a bunch of "real" tournament players would use it.

                      Let me redefine the question slightly, as I should have the first time, because Shartley did bring up a point, as have others... and its avoided the point I intended to make because of it. It was a poor consideration of the considerations many would make. Now don't take this to be me thinking the tournament community is "where its at" but I do need to more narrowly define it.

                      Would I be able to sell the marker into the tournament community without ramping?

                        As long as you give a bunch out free to winning teams to play with.

                                Ummm new stock shockers now come with rebound AKA ramping

                                Anyway, I would guess that it wouldn't sell to the tourney community. The aftermarket boards out there right now wouldn't be selling so well if people didn't care about having all sorts of special modes on their markers. Current markers aren't hampered by not having stock special firing modes because there's lots of different boards you can just drop in to get them. If that wasn't a possible option on a new gun but all the others out there could still be modded I think the new one's sales would sink like a rock.
