BPS "Showdown" - PRIZES

[Lohman446]

One favor RX2 - label who they are when you do the graphs and numbers, that one of course was easy to figure but it will help when/if you guys get swamped

[yakitori]

I have a vid, but I got the same old BS as last time. I cant upload it anywhere. I tried Jayloo because Putfile is too small to host my large file.

Anyone care to help out. I can prolly only send it through AIM. I can compress it, but it will still be a 30 min transfer prolly. Warning. I have 56K connection speed.

Someone wanna help.

.

I know its prolly not going to be all that fast, but I might as well enter.

hi guys. Ive tried emailing in the past and it didnt work. That was w/ the vid of my Ion. The only way I think this will work is through AIM.

i know it sucks. Trust me. I know.

I will try Jayloo again.

wow, i've been busy for awhile and was neglecting this thread. GREAT job rx2. thanks for the sound analysis. I think the most likely reason for the thing coutning 22 bps is the streaming video. I dont think theres too much echo because i was holding the camera close to the gun(or vice versa) and it was only a light clicking sound. I still havn't had a chance to fix my gun, i'm helping my dad get ready for our rafting trip this weekend(water's gonna b real high). When I finally get paint/air/working gun I'll make sure to use my friend's higher quality camera, and find a better upload program. Thanks guys

EDIT: i got my gun working finally. there was nothing wrong with the sear, and i'm jsut goint to leave it how it came from the factory. The solenoid was sticking. I have never heard of this problem before, is it common? I put some oil on it and wiggled it around a bit and it started working again fine. I put it back together, and it works now just as it did before, so when i get paint/air, i'll make the vid. Thanks

EDIT AGAIN: Ok, i've wrapped up my spyder sale, worked for my dad, and am looking at a bit more cash flow in soon as well, probably this weekend. soon after, i'll be paying off the rest of the price of a scuba tank, buying a fill station for it, and i have 500 paintballs sitting on my shelf right now. I think my friend(who has the camera and halo) wants to enter as well. I can supply him paint/air probably, the only problem is that he isn't registered on AO. Could he enter anyways?(hes registered on pbn, but that probably doesnt hold much weight here) If not, he'll probably just enter a vid to see how he stacks up. Thanks again

Conditions: (subject to change)
Winner based on highest BPS AVERAGE over 8 seconds of video - contestants will use the highest 8 second average of there video if longer than 8 seconds
1) Marker must be fired with paint
2) Must have video that shows each individual trigger pull and be able to correlate each pull to a single ball firing - raking is allowed only if we can verify each trigger pull through movement.
3) Enhanced firing modes are not allowed - marker must be ASTM compliant (in regards to trigger), strict semi only and the marker must not fire when shaken with the safety off and marker on - video must start with you "shaking" the marker forward and back to indicate trigger is set to these standards. You then must "jolt" the back of the tank to show it will not fire
4) Must have 8 seconds of firing (why 8 and not 10? - well if you do manage 20 BPS this allows most standard hoppers to continue). If video is longer than 8 seconds can use whatever 8 seconds (continual) is of highest average
5) Soundgraph analysis will be done and your AVERAGE BPS will be your score.
6) Soundgraph analysis will be done to the best of the judges ability, not responsible for errors.
7) Soundgraph analysis will be done, to the best of the judges abilities, to 1 tenth of BPS.
8) If there is a tie the winner will be the person who posted there video first (I needed an incentive to get posts up) This will also go for place (1st / 2nd/ etc)
9) For members of AO - must have more than 50 posts before the time this was posted to participate. New members who have been part of discussion but do not meet this may be
allowed in at my discretion only
10) Rule 10. "On my AO Honor this is semi only[no bounce, modes, etc...] My Honor means something to me. Does yours?" I expect to see this statement when you post a link as part of participating

Thats why i was wondering. I don't think he'll be allowwed, but it doesnt hurt to ask.

What i was trying to do was make this an AO contest. We all know friends at the field who "can shoot 8 billion balls per second" I also did not want a flood of PBNers. Could I have helped increase registration? Maybe, but it wasn't my goal. I honestly want people who are part of AO.

[jenarelJAM]

Thats fine, actually, his fingers arent really that fast... i dont think he would win, but it would be more for the fun of it than for anything else.

[Jakedubbleya]

Question: I dont have a gun w/ an eye, and even using my eggo i always pinch balls when getting my speed up above 12 (think i hit around 12, prolly more like 5 lol) .

Since it is judged by sound, could i perhaps submit a video of dry-fire?

if anybody gets over 15 im beat automatically my grip is software capped at 15.

[Lohman446]

SOrry, it must be with paint...

[Jakedubbleya]

SOrry, it must be with paint...

how about i take off my barrel, and aim the camera inside? ill still give view of my fingers...

or shoot it in front of a piece of paper so you can see the paper move every shot?



*sigh, i need a gun thats good for more than one-balling, but then again, i couldnt afford to use it... lol*

[MonsterMag]

The paint rule is because alot of markers can cycle without paint faster than with paint.
