If you make it legal it will cut down on the bounce triggers out there!
SO........................... FA all the way!
Andy, I hope you have your tongue firmly in your cheek unless you actually mean what you written above. Do you have plans to move from where you live anytime soon as if what you suggest happens then you will be out of a job. The reason for this is that should FA be "allowed" by the Millenium commitee then the relative countrys concerned will by a knee jerk reaction ban ALL paintball in those countrys and so you will find that the only people that you can sell stuff to will be the americans who can buy things that you sell for cheaper as you will have the shipping costs to add to anything they want. I seriously hope you were not being serious and just playing devils advocate to keep this threads ludicrous ideas alive.
I do understand that the question was aimed at US based tournaments but then given the number of americans who actually post you are only going to get a majority reaction from european players.
To answer TJ (or whoever) Of course the Major industry people would want FA as they are the Paint companies aren't they? Yes FA will make things a little easier for the cheater boards to dissapear, however even FA can be cheated with the software allowing a faster speed to kick in after a given amount of shots has occurred..can't see the judges being able to check that easily, From a playing point of view the injurys are going to increase and the judging will become a nightmare it would bring a whole new meaning to spray and pray.
