05 Speed Tadao Board?

[Rosie]

has anyone tried this? I was thinking of getting an 06 Speed but if I can just upgrade the board on my 05...

I will not be playing in ramping tourneys so would there be much difference on it's semi performance?


£95 at the moment.

Angel Force Tadao Features:

Based on the Musashi 7 software

Includes twelve (12) fire modes: uncapped semi-auto, capped semi-auto, PSP auto-response, PSP mild ramping, PSP max ramping, PSP z-burst, NXL full-automatic, auto-response, mild ramping, max ramping, z-burst, and full-automatic

Asynchronously monitors the trigger switch using an interrupt based scan at 2 million times per second

Gangster setting allows 3 different options for every fire mode, giving 36 different “breakout” style modes

Adjustable ABS programming prevents first shot drop-off

AMB (anti-mechanical bounce) and CPF (cycle percentage filter) algorithms help to eliminate mechanical bounce and switch bounce

Power efficient software and hardware lengthens battery life

Programming mode allows changes to debounce, dwell, loader delay, AMB, ABS dwell, fire mode, fire mode max rate of fire, eye mode, CPF, ramp start, gangster mode, and LED colors

All settings are stored in non-volatile memory so they are not lost when battery is disconnected

One-touch startup enables the marker to fire instantly

Automatic 15-minute idle power down to safe mode saves batteries

Three eye modes: delayed, forced with force shot, and test mode with rate of fire indicator

Fully adjustable color schemes

Low battery indicator hardware and software shows battery level each time the marker is turned on

Rosie,

Yes you will see an increase in speed in semi. For the same amount of trigger pulls, you will get more shots.


Just keep repeating over and over in your head 'it is legal semi, it is legal semi' and your morals will not be compromised either.

 

[Rosie]

Is that still legal then, more shots per trigger pull
if a marshall tested it & it shot more than one ball per trigger pull I wouldn't be able to use it would I
or is it only once it gets going

a lot of people seem to have Tadao's on their DMs, I hadn't seen one for an Angel before

yeah I thought that , Gangster approved is it?

Is it legal?

What a minefield we just stepped into.

You could say that paintball and semi auto parted company in about 1999 but thats not what you want to hear Im sure.

You can set it so that it fires as many times per trigger pull as your stock board, but then where is the advantage over the stock board?

The only thing I can think of is that the microswitch trigger feels a million times better than those silly optical levers.
But that is just personal preference.



Gansters certainly approve breakout mode.
The refs dont but they're not real gangsters like the kids on PBNation

Debounce tuning. You can tune the trigger so that both mechanical and cycle bounce can be removed.... Of course you can just as easily abuse this it make a marker that passes the slow pull test but subtly bounces when walked.

I also like the way Tadeos averages out shot distribution. so you get a nice consistent stream of paint.

I can comment about how much better it is over stock Angels but the speed/smoothness is noticeable on a DM

No that probably is true very little is true semi, everything is 'assisted'

...good point

maybe but not enough to justify £95 i think

ha ha

Dont want to cheat never use breakout modes etc- not much point in buying it just looking at upgrades maybe

I just got one of these for an ego and the manual is quite funny- here is the "Gangster" section-

Gangster mode – The Musashi 7 software includes a special mode that can be applied 3 different ways to each of the 12 fire modes, giving 36 “breakout” style combinations. Gangster mode gives the user full-automatic with an unlimited rate of fire for a single pull, for use at the start of the game. The setting is defaulted at 4, which turns gangster mode off. A setting of 1-3 dictates at which pull that gangster mode will become active. If set to 1, the first shot after you turn on the marker will be full-automatic and have an unlimited rate of fire for as long as you hold down the trigger. As soon as you release the trigger, the marker will stop shooting and default back to your selected fire mode. If set to 3, the gangster mode will be active on the 3rd shot after the marker is turned on. Regardless of the fire mode selected, the shots before the gangster mode will be semi-automatic. Gangster mode can only be used once for each time the marker is turned on. Note: The gangster mode is illegal for use in all tournament series. Tadao Technologies LLC takes no responsibility for a player’s decision to use the gangster mode.


I love the bit at the bottom- we made modes that are illegal and serve no earthly purpose unless you want to cheat.........but don't

That aside it's a great board with every function and adjustment imaginable and very well made as well.

If you're looking to upgrade the 05 - the virtue boards will be out shortly (so i've heard) for angels!?

Have been told they're pretty good - but can't talk from experience!! (have only used stock board )

Also you can get trigger upgrades from violent products for the 05/G7 or G7fly/06 - haven't seen any others about yet?!

Who distributes violent products in the uk?
