Gun rules

[Russell Smith]

No they have got rid of that, as it says no contact will be made with the trigger.

They did have a horror with guns at campaign and they have sorted all of them so you have to say well done to the MS.

So Russell, what you're saying is that they say that guns must be semi only, but they explicitly won't be testing for it? PSP/PA ramping certainly won't be allowed by these rules, as a PA compatible gun could shoot 2 more balls after the last trigger release (5bps <-> 15bps).

And when does any marker shoot when you let go of the trigger

When it's buffered a shot which can't be fired when the trigger was pulled. Most electronic markers do that already.

As for the mechanical bounce test... well, it's not looking for bounce at all, only over-sensitive triggers, so it's a misnomer (or a misunderstanding of what causes mechanical bounce.) Does this mean we can all have uber-bouncy triggers again as long as they don't fire when you bump the marker? And how hard is the judge allowed to "bump" it to check?

The 100ms part basically says that if you manage to pull the trigger twice within 65 ms, the marker can buffer that 2nd shot and release it up to 100ms later. (Well, up to 100 ms after you release the trigger, which is stupid, it should be 100 ms after you pull the trigger.) This lets you shoot the full 15 bps in semi-only mode without having to space your shots exactly 65 ms apart.

Sooo.. this means we all have to get new boards right?

Is it possible to manage 2 shots within 65ms if you use a revy?

 

[eebes]

I actually like the rule......

but giving notice one month in advance!!!!!!! come on that sux big time!!!!!

I hope WDP will be around at Maxs with new software cause otherwise I won't be able to play!!!!!
And for my teammates will there be enought Intimidator boards available at Maxs to make their gats legal????
And what will they cost????

oh and actually I just thinking that I DON'T LIKE the rule......

cause how does this solve ramping......
the only thing it does is make sure that ramping cheating *******s won't shoot faster than 15 bps....

Damn maby time to get one of those ramping boards my self....
then at least i know i would be firing faster than 15bps and won't be banned......

How do you make a timmy or an Angel legal to play Millennium this year (or any gun for that matter). Is there a way of setting a 65ms delay between each shot?

f they are using an acoustic "radar" they could catch you if there is a delay inferior to 65ms between each shot even if you can't shoot over 5 bps....

 

[Super Fly]

yeah but there is still gonnna be human errors and krunts standing over the crono emptying ure hopper trying to get it to bounce right?

surely usuaing a robot wud be a much better way of testing the guns!

also what stops some1 when on the field, clicking a lil button to ramp and then turning it off again when he gets checked

to me this seems to solve nothing, u either go the whole mile and do the cap and allow ramp or u dont do either, goin half way wont help

my 2p

Well they announced that for the bounce test there will be no contact with the trigger. They will bump the bottle or the hopper (there will be alot of broken eggys btw...) and if a shot goes off it means there is mechanical bounce. So one shot suffices to count as bouncing and there will be no need to empty the hopper anymore.

This rule definitely does not stop somebody from activating a ramping mode during the game....

Anybody have a solution as to how you cap your marker to 15bPS besides using a revvy?

Ahh but don't forget this test:
“Runaway Guns” Test - All markers will be checked for “runaway” triggers. The marker will be fired rapidly. The testing judge, while rapidly firing the marker will suddenly cease to pull the trigger. Any marker that continues to fire after a delay of 100 ms while the trigger is NOT being pulled will be deemed to be a “Runaway Gun” and will not be allowed on the field.

So remember to fill that hopper guys

aaaaahhhhh shucks!
