Do you NEED ramping for tournies??

[-=Squid=-]

you said the rules would go over my head. They wouldnt if I read the rulebook. Playing w/out knowing the rules is not a good idea.

Oh the irony.

That's not what I said at all.

[nt2004]

Ramping doesnt seem necessary, but it does make things easier. Things like shooting left-handed for uncoordinated people like me. That being said, I dont actually use it in games

[CKY_Alliance]

Cfoa uses the 15bps cap with no ramping, so if you can cap it at that you are all good. I'd get a predator 2 for your xmag though to upgrade it, much better programming.

I thought cfoa was first 3 semi then you can ramp up to 15....correct me if im wrong.

and as far as i know they have surpassed the required amount of preorders for the emag pred boards.

Ha ha! I love the 4th one: "dude, that camo tank cover is agg." :spit_take

I just find that funny. I don't know anyone that uses a camo tank cover. Hell, I don't even know a pro shop that sells them! :rofl: Ok, ok, I'm done I swear... almost...

Wow...just wow blykins. You took his words COMPLETLY out of context. That's why he said the meaning of HIS POST went over your head.

Dude, if you can't hit them in the first one or two shots. the next twenty aren't going to make a difference. Ramping sucks. Its like training wheels for your marker. Grow up, be a man about it and shoot as fast as you can move your finger. Don't blame the machine cause your body can't keep up. I've kept guys bunkered with everything from an F4 to Angel. You don't need 20 balls a second to keep a guy down, they can't run that fast!
Any idot can spend the money and shoot fast. It takes skills to make those shots count and the other guy's not.

Dude, keep your marker and spend the grand you would've spent on a piece of junk Shocker and hire a personal trainer to get your butt in shape. That'll make more of a difference than how fast you can throw paint.

Men make the marker. Not the other way around.


And since when is 8 years experience not enough? 8 years in any other major sport will put you near to retirment! And unless the team you are joining has a 7 figure signing bonus they've got no business telling you what gear to play with.

Well, that's my rant. Viva la old-school!

CFOA Promoter...

Perhaps since we're talking CFOA a CFOA promoter who has shot mags for years can help you out. Just as an FYI, both the owner of the league and I have been shooting mags for years and there will always be a warm fuzzy place (not telling you where) for them. That said...

For 2005 the CFOA, presented by National Paintball Supply, adopted a new set of gun rules that must be adhered-to by any CFOA player, the most publicised of which was our rate of fire cap, with similar caps later adopted by other leagues and series like the PSP, Millennium, etc. Our cap is a straight 15bps across the board, enforced by paid referees with Pact timers on every field of play over which paintball guns are fired at random, before and after games. I've caught players shooting in excess of 20bps at some of our events and in some cases teams have played a man down the remainder of their events and/or endured major penalty points. In our fast-paced, X-Ball-style format (5-man on official X-Ball fields from Sup Air), bring all the gun you can legally bring in order to give yourself every chance of winning. If your paintball gun can pass our series of tests, including bump tests, rate of fire, ceasing fire when the trigger is released, etc...take it on the field, play ball and have fun. Learn and study our rulebook's statements on the matter to more clearly understand what is and is not legal in the CFOA so that our rules can serve to PROTECT and ASSIST you, rather than work AGAINST you.

My opinion? Most of the winning teams in the CFOA during this great season, including Runnin' Wild, Authority, etc, bring some mean machines to shoot paint at you with, but they're all legal to the letter of our rules. I'd have no problem taking my E or XMag into a game in the CFOA because they always work and never chop paint. That at 11 or 12 bps beats the heck out of a ramping chipper-shredder any day of the week, but if you're not confident in your ability to win with such a piece of equipment, maybe a board or a chip or whatever from one of our great and valued sponsors, TAG, might be the ticket for you. Good luck and we'd love to see you in the CFOA.

so basically as long as you dont shoot over 15 you can shoot that speed however you want..if it be ramping,or semi or did i completely misunderstand you?

[NukeGoose]

The people that run the CFOA don't come out and specifically state that ramping is legal due to liability reasons, but it is. They definate a legal gun as a gun that passes certain tests:
1. Can't be over 15 BPS (which means under .066 second gap between shots on the PACT timer)
2. Cannot fire when given a small bump to the back of the gun/tank
3. Must fire three shots when the trigger is pulled three times, and after a one second break in shooting, must fire the next three shots with the trigger being pulled three times
4. No full auto guns
5. Guns must stop firing after the trigger is released.

I'm just naming these off the top of my head so some may be a bit off, but they do not state that the gun must operate in a semi-only fashion. So, even though it's not stated outright, ramping is allowed - you can tell this when the ref checks your gun over the timer and is pulling 6 pulls/second with one finger and the gun is shooting 15 BPS, and he hands you the gun back and says "you're fine".

Heck ya big brotha mutha fu**a! Pump and stock rule! (though if semi, cockers or mags rule!)

Also, didn't they have a 13 bps rule at one point? That's why the Hyperframes won't shoot faster than that. What happened to that rule? I think the 15bps rule will fall through just like the 13bps one.

[SpitFire1299]

Get the Predator Emag board from TAG. It should will be out soon.

Agreed. It has ramping, and will kick ***.
