They do it for testing purposes...tho, I would think that they would say "its very bouncy"
But, i have to say, that owning any marker, airgun or firearm, in this country that is capable of Full auto or burst (not including airsoft as they are classifide as toys) could get you 10 years in the big house mate...proper...it becomes a section 5 firearm..even owning a component part of an illegal firearm can be enough (ask john sosta about the AK47 stock!)....which could mean that the bolt from an american Race frame, could be a component part...very naughty!

But basically you have to bypass the sear, or something like that..tho in istself that wont work, coz it will run out of steam.
it is full auto like u said its for testing purposes, i know many rec ballers who have full auto on their guns, normally a case of flickin a switch or holdin down a button, surely all these people are not just ignorant of the law?!has there ever been a case of someone going tocourt/jail relating to a paintball markers firing capability?

Long and short of it is, No you can't make it full auto, Planet will never release a full auto and you'll void your warranty if you try and make it full auto.

Regarding the wire you see, I'd guess that was a bit of a red herring, I would think it would be more a case of reprogramming the board from the ground up.

For the record a full-auto paintball marker does violate Section 5(a) of the Firearms Act 1968 and is therefore very illegal carrying a penalty of up to 10 years inside

I personally don't give a stuff whether or not you want to be told it's illegal or not. Everybody has done so for a bloody good reason ie. they may not care if you end up being arrested but we don't want to see our sport being dragged through the courts because somebody thinks it's okay to ignore the law of the land

And for anybody else who may feel the need to tell him how... DON'T!

If you really are going to go to the States feel free to modify your marker when you are actually there. Just deactivate the F/A function before you get back on the plane home

Finally if you ever meet somebody in the UK using F/A tell them to stop. If they don't tell me and I will go out of my way to ban them from every UKPSF registered paintball site in the Country

This has been a public service announcement from a slightly irate UKPSF Official :mad:

listen m8 last time checked it was a free country and information was not surpressed. All I want to know is if it is possible. Oh and if you check the law you'll see that yes it's illegal to have a marker that can fire on full auto, but you should check again and you'll see that it acually saids it's illegal to own a marker/gun capable of fire at full auto. so that applies to any eletro marker out.

Try reading what my post was about before you comment, I said that I had seen vids and wanted to know if it was possiable and if so how. I never said that i was going to. I have my answer in that it is possible and it invlove reprogramming the software (something that 99% couldn't do any way)

Blimey, Hotpoint was only trying to help, no need to jump down his throat. :rolleyes:

It doesn't apply to any electro in out-of-the-box form. My marker can't do FA and neither from the sounds of it can yours.

If you choose to modify your marker against the manufacturers recommendations and in doing so make it FA-capable, then that's your choice.

People aren't going to provide information which is expressly intended to help you break the law.

With all of the hoohah about replica weapons at the moment, the last thing any of us needs is the government or police turning their beady eyes in paintball's direction.

A marker modified to go FA is illegal in the UK - never mind if it's sat in a box under your bed.

Ahem. It actually says capable "without modification". The equivalent of this is that Pump-Action Shotguns are legal in the UK unless they are modified after purchase to hold more than two shots

You can readily convert the shotgun but it is not an illegal firearm until you do so

I did read your posts. You were talking about using it in your garden and earlier stated you thought F/A was Tourney illegal but otherwise okay.

Read your own posts!

Something else to bear in mind, is that by passing on any information, the person who passes on said information is also breaking the law.

Incitement is a common law crime, i.e. it is contained within case law, and is not written out in any statute. It is persuading, encouraging, threatening or pressuring another person to commit a crime. The crime of incitement is committed as soon as the persuasion is done; there is no need for the crime to be committed, provided the inciter knows of the circumstances which would make the act a crime and knows that the person incited will do the act with the intent which would make it a crime.
And as we all know telling someone in the UK how to make their marker full auto would make them break the law, so by teloing them how, we'd be committing an offence too.

And as for information being supressed in this country?

That's a whole other non-paintball (and therefore non-p8ntballer-forums topic).


I guess the reason that people are so jumpy about thi sort of thing is as quoted above - the government are about to go mental on airguns, so it seems, and we're all a little edgy about how they'll classify paintball markers.

Calm down guys, we're all friends on here, REMEMBER !!!.

It would be silly to make a marker fully auto in this country, as the police go over the top when it comes to guns, and we don't want bad publicity for this sport.

FOR EXAMPLE........At a former address i went out into the lane behind my house and chronied my angel. I was only out there for about 2 mins, and as i got into the house a police car and a van appeared in the lane, i was lucky. Paintball markers and the public don't mix. Now i have a setup in my garage where i can fire safely into a trap, where no one can see me.

If it's possible to make the marker F/A, then i'm sure if you look hard enough you will probably find out how, but be very carefull.

.:D :D :D
