As for turbo being illegal, that was because the older turbo guns when they went into turbo mode they also ramped the fps, So we banned them ourselves before they found out about it and banned paintball.

NO they didn't ramp velocity.

The thought back then was that the gun's would be deemed illegal and so it wasn't a good idea to push it with the Authorities. It was all because of the difficulty in understanding exactly how the Home Office would regard our markers, and no-one wanting to push it enough in case they took a dim view.

The UKPSF has a very good relationship with the home office and it is Steve Bull who must take all the credit for that.

This is fantastic. And this is what may make the difference this time around...

I'm still not sure what i think of all this, i've not had a chance to put as much thought in to it as a situation of this complexity requires. However i'm confident the proposal was not taken lightly.

I'm inclined towards supporting some parts of the rule while not supporting others. I think allowing bounce makes sense as it is so hard to define/measure/detect/prove etc. I'm not so sure about the ramping though.

I was thinking with bounce that perhaps a limit should be set though. some markers are so bouncey that they can go off without the trigger being touched.

I would suggest allowing any bounce so long as it is not possible for the marker to fire without touching the trigger.

For example by shaking the marker, banging the bottom of the tank, firing for a bit and then the marker continuing to fire because of the movement of the marker.

This would provide a clear-cut well defined rule that players can refs and players can objectively check.

This will still be in the rules, and would come under an unsafe trigger.
