foxwood skirmish walkon 30th april

[Game]

InfernoMark-> Is this the nipple cover you were after? I can't find any metal ones on there. I'm know putting the order in, so if you could let me know in the next hour or so, that would be helpful. If not i'll order it and if you don't want it i'll have it. http://www.planeteclipse.com/site/prodView.asp?prodID=1772

Ahh ops well the other one was on there ordered one on thursday night hope i didnt get the last one it was metal with a plastic coil to hold it on

Sinner -> Don't mean to sound stupid, i understand ramping, but what exactly is trigger bounce? And how do you test for it

from what i can gather its not needing a full trigger pull to register a shot and cycle the gun to fire so you can just bounce the trigger and reach a higher rate of fire (I could be wrong about this)

yeah that was the one i was after ya git haha, and wats it called wen you can smack ya bottle and it sets off the gun because the trigger so loose and wobbly so to speak

trigger bounce is where you fire once and the recoil of the gat makes it fire again, and again.

simple way to test is fire 1 finger as slowly and see if it fires more than you pull the trigger, and then fire as fast as you can, stop and see if it fires after you stop.

the way alot of people test for bounce(incorectly) is hold the trigger right on the activation point to see if it bounces, this method will more often than not, produce artificial bounce, ie your fingers natural movement.

Rob has basically covered what tests will be done: 2 to 3 slow pulls, then half-a-dozen or so fairly fast pulls, checking for excessive extra shots. Personally, I'm not really fussed if there's just an extra shot from ten or so trigger pulls, it's more to check for half-a-dozen or more shots from those same pulls. And those are rough figures, so don't be a clever sod and try to quote them back to me if your marker fires 15 shots from 10 trigger pulls! In addition, we'll be using the bottle slap test to check for the really unsafe markers.

I know this all sounds rather heavy-handed and pedantic, but a walk-on is meant to be a fun day, not a world championship with fame, fortune and free Pot Noodles on the line. The Foxwood walk-on gets a fair number of novice players, players with low-range kit, occasional players, etc and none of them really want to be zippered by some wannabe loaded up with all the top gear, just so he feel like a winner. (Although shooting TL is funny, but don't tell him I said that)

Ok, thanx guys. That clears that up. See you sunday. Hopefully my 'cocker will be ok. If not I'll have my 'mag with me that should be pretty safe!
