Gun cheats in tha NPPL

[TJ Lambini]

This is what Mr Dominguez has to say...

We at the NPPL are working hard to insure the safety of everyone that attends our events, from the player, support personal, spectators and our Staff we need to maintain a safe enviorment.
We feel that markers that dont comply with our rules and regulation pose a possible danger to anyone that comes in contact with the marker when not in use on the field during a game. We have developed a devise that is connected to a bullistic chronograph, that will count trigger pulls, how many balls fired and detect ramping, speed, and even the dwell. Those of you that get caught will be going home, your team will go home, and your points taken away. You have been warned, It is strongly suggested that all you captains attend the captains meeting as there are a number of rule changes. For those of you that dont feel that a cheater gun is a accident waiting to happen, let me explain. The barrel condom you are required to put on your gun is only designed to stop the first ball. and some are better than others, so lets say that you just got off the field and you set your gun down in the staging area and some one touches the trigger for what ever reason and the gun goes off into some cheater mode and shoots twenty balls into the staging area, some one is going to lose a eye or worse. how many times have you set your marker down and it fired.
The up dated rules are due out tonight on the NPPL site. if not tonight tommarrow night for sure.

good on the NPPL, ******* cheats have had this coming for a long time

bullistic chronograph

Is that a chronograph that tests to see how fast bulls can go?

How do the majority of cheat guns work? Surely it's a matter of pulling the trigger a set number of times or holding it for a set number of seconds or playing with the other function buttons to enable cheat mode? I doubt most cheat markers simply cheat from the moment that they are turned on are they?

I see loads of videos from the US and some guy is shooting and his fingers are moving a little but the gun is tripping faster than a nun on crack LSD.

I can see WHY they do it, but it can't be safe.

 

[TJ Lambini]

Crack LSD?

 

[Stan]

Apparently a bit like crystal meth but waaaay smoother.

 

[Mark Toye-Nexus]

I think the problem already exists closer to home as well with some USA ready markers out there.

They'll know who I'm talking about - lets just hope that the techs out there can find a way to stop it in the Millenniums too.

If anything I think the american scene is safer... I've heard of ramping guns but no guns that blow holes in hoppers and full pods.

I have however heard of a euro team who has been accused of this...

 

[duffistuta]

We heard reliable eye witness reports of shots going clean through pots in the NXL last season , and quite a lot of gun ramping too...but it's true that some Euro teams are just as dodgy as some US outfits.

 

[Stan]

I take it that ramping guns take over firing at a higher rate as long as you keep pulling the trigger a number of times a second?

The guns that shoot through plastic - are they illegally increasing velocity during the game by electronically opening the valve for longer or is there another reason they're shooting through pods?
