I dont think any tournaments allow fullauot/burst shot from a marker. Its illegal over here, but i dont know about usa....but im still sure they wont let you use it.

this may insult your intelligence, i dont know but do you think a shutter could compete in a fairly large tourney. its reliable but does it stand a chance?

bowing to the wisdom you seem to have
 
Lol

Go for it I played my first game of paintball using a very poorly old site spyder not even bottom line:eek:

But I was rarely first in the dead box and managed to keep 3 players in and mug people.

lol you should have seen their faces I don't know which was worse being taken out by my gun or me lol

From http://www.ukpsf.com/paintballandthelaw.htm

To stay within the law a paintball marker must not be fired above 330fps when using an average weight paintball, this equates to 12 ft/lbs. All tournament markers are restricted to a maximum velocity of 300fps, which equates to 9.9ft/lbs and site markers should be used at between 250-280fps to be safe for customers. This equates to 7ft/lbs-8.7ft/lbs.

Paintball markers must not be fully automatic i.e. when pulling the trigger once, two or more paintballs must not be discharged.
