Zomg!! My mag performed flawlessly at SPPL

[mostpeople]

I was somehow able to hit full auto on the RT bounce from my x-valve + ult.. and it was amazing!!! I got it so good that I could just hold it for as long as I want (first time) and that was on the field!! Poor guy on the other end too, kinda got lit up.. but the balls were in the air nothing I could do.

Everyone was envious - all the ion runners were loving meh mag. And I gotta say I would never run any other marker for a tournament!

Heres to you AGD

sppl was allowing an rt in run away mode...

and no one bothered to say anything/check guns?

i dont know if i should congratulate you or be angry...

[craltal]

Too bad it's illegal to use that in a tournament

[biojuggernaut]

Yea... The Rt effect is illegal in almost every tourney, legue, and is even illegal at most feilds for most regular day feilds.

I'm waiting for the people who despise ramping to praise this....

Full Auto: If the host field permits full-auto mode for paintball markers, then the game shall likewise permit full-auto mode limited to 15bps on all markers.

All blowback, electronically assisted blow-back/blow-forward and mechanical markers are permitted so long as they shoot under 15bps. These classes of markers are permitted to use any hopper they see fit to feed paintball's into their marker.

SPPL PAINTBALL MARKER AND LOADER RULES

Any marker not normally allowed at the host field
Grenade or rocket launchers firing multiple projectiles (shotgun rounds)
Any marker designed to fire larger than .68 caliber style paintball pellets
Any marker designed to fire smaller than .68 caliber paintball pellets (i.e. RAP 4)
Any paintball marker that has more than two barrels
Any paintball marker that has been ADJUSTED to fire or more than 15 balls per second. Markers that are capable of more than 15 bps are permitted however they must be set to fire at15 BPS or Lower
Any marker (at the discretion of an SPPL official or host field owner) that appears to be in an unsafe operational mode or condition
Any marker that the SPPL feels is unsafe or may violate one or more of the above conditions
Any electro-pneumatic* marker that is used in conjunction with ANY electronic force feed loader or with an advertised feed rate above 15 balls per second**
Important Note: Owners of purely mechanical markers, blowback and sear trippers may use any loader they choose.

So I went over to the SPPL website, and checked up on the rules (again). And basically found nothing againt RT's in the rules. Considering that just about every team had tippman RT's and the host field DID allow them - I dont understand how you can say it was illegal.

Heck I even showed it off to a REF buddy of mine before the friggin tournament and he said nothing, and I never got penalized. This is SPPL, not NPPL or anything like speedball. Oh and they didnt do a BPS test on me officially, but I did test it out to 12/13 BPS. Which is of course legal.

?

the rules state that full auto is alright as long as it's limited to 15bps or less. explain to me how you set your bps limit.

You don't have a "full auto" mag, you have a run-away mag. You may not see the difference, but the refs should have not allowed that gun on the field

[mostpeople]

I tested it, and it hit 12/13 bps.. and I tested it multiple times. Like I said also, the first time this ever happened to me (this runaway) was on the field.. i had never seen it before only heard about it.

plus people were running away on their tippman RT's all weekend, its fine in SPPL. Just cant do more than 15 - which I wasnt.

[craltal]

NO, IT IS NOT FINE, IT IS NOT SAFE>

You are describing a gun that is firing in an uncontrolled manner. Period. Just because the refs were negligent doesn't mean that what you are describing is permitted. An RT is capable of firing over 15bps.

With an RT tippmann there is an element of control there. That's not the case with your automag. The two cannot be compared.

really?

ive seen both set in a manor in which pulling 1 shot was difficult to impossible without laying 2-3 more. and too easy to not fully release the trigger and let out more paint.

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE..., though you may feel that your setup is more safe...i can assure it is far from what i personaly consider "safe"

[mostpeople]

But my hopper feeds 14/15 bps second anyways.. guys it was not doing more than 15 bps I garauntee that.. its impossible.

[mostpeople]

acually, more the the point, some guy was running 21 bps on a tippman A5 RT out there, it was crazy modded with qev's and the aluminum parts, and yet he still played with it.

[mostpeople]

Im just waiting for the hypocrits who love ramping to criticize bounce.

Maybe it already happened? :)


-Either way guys it happened once on the field, and the guy on the receiving end only got 4 balls, and I was lit up way worse throughout the weekend so, in the future I will be careful, but everything was legal and safe at this tournament. I am not that irresponsible, and trust me I would never on purpose light someone up or cheat. 3 refs checked my marker on multiple occasions, I did a BPS test multiple times and I never violated any of the rules.

[mostpeople]

Not in the SPPL.




That is simple. Just use a hopper that doesnt feed more than 15 bps.



Actually, his mag is not "run-away". Run-away refers to pulling the trigger and not being able to stop it from firing. Full-auto means you pull the trigger, it shoots multiple balls, until you let go of the trigger, then it stops.

as soon as I released the trigger it stopped firing, so it wasnt runaway i guess its just bounce right? Because it wasnt full auto, it was full-auto like..
