    assuming you mean increase, absolutley nothing. it is actually easier to do that what i am thinking about right now.
    As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won't be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide

    sometimes I just freaking hate people. which means the next day I will love them for the sake of balance, but right now I will just concentrate on the hating. Hate hate hate. Blaaaarg! ;)

        Redkey- if it adjusted velocity, as lon sa there were measures in place to keep the velocity from being tampered with i'm sure it would be tourney legal, since it is really no diffrent than a regulator.. just in real time.


        I can see how this could be done to a mag easily by adjusting the reg with some sort of servo or solenod.

        This would also make adjusting velocity as easy as turning a potentiometer or hitting some buttons on a palm pilot connected to a frame containing the controller. (hehe)

            something similar could be done with a mag, but you would be correcting off of your previous shot.

                Red probably did mean reduce, because you would chrono it for something above 300, and then when you press a button it would make it chrono at 299 or 285 or whatever the field limit is, just to chrono. Then after a set period of time, it would go back to the original setting, or after you press the button again.

                    It seems you still run into the same problem all guns face with consistency: paint irregularity and pressure regulation.

                    If you chrono the ball that was shot obviously the next ball would have to be the same size and roundness to work.

                    If a computer is controlling the dwell time a valve stays open to fire the ball, then you are at the mercy of the consistency of the pressure being fed to the valve chamber. Also the consistency of the air regulating the pneumatics that run the ram that open the valve.

                    However considering the performance of some of today's systems, I think your idea(with good paint) could tighten up the accuracy even more, although I doubt enough to warrant it. Interesting idea though.
