Left me at a loss for words to be honest. The entire concept of allowing full-auto tournaments (quite apart from it being illegal in the UK) seems to be one of the most retarded ideas I've heard in a long time.

From that news item it reads as if TV companies are pushing for this? They think it will IMPROVE the viewing experience? Oh yeah, I really want to see people huddled behind barricades holding a trigger down, that's just SO exciting and 'extreme'. :rolleyes:

But that's just my opinion......anyone else?

Debouce of 1 here i come.
So, perhaps oversized barrels could be the way to go??? ;)

Should we also get the EPA to table a de-restriction of the muzzle velocity?? 450 FPS be enough to make PB an extreme sport......:rolleyes: :D

Nah, that would make it harder to see the paint ;)

Serioulsly - unless we introduce capitol punishment for cheaters or designers of cheat boards our sport is always going to be dampened by the teams who 'need' to cheat to succeed.

This is the easiest solution to solve an unfair advantage.

Debounce? Why would we need electronics - they'd just slow things down. Don't see many full-auto firearms with electronic triggers :)

Mech revival!

:D
