If you take the time to look at the rest of his site you will notice that he has a link to "the law and paintball" stating that he will not sell ful auto markers or to anyone under age.

It's not just the full auto he can't sell, the 3-shot & 6-shot, (in fact any number of shots,) burst fire is also illegal in the UK.

The 14 bps is for select fire board. Like a good boy you would of locked the other modes.

The cricket board is impulse board.

Yer thinking of the equalizer board which is capped at 66 cps and is single fire only. Though admittedly the record on a equalizer bps stands at 30+ in test mode or 22 bps with paint. And more than a handfull are in the country

I know anything other than semi is illegal. Its just easier to type full auto.

Again I know its irreleevant how old you are when it comes to full auto, but you have to be 17 or older to buy a paintball marker. Thats what I was getting at.

Gee
Just locking off illegal modes of fire is not enough. The marker has to permanently be only able to fire semi.

Yep thats thereason that planet eclipse wouldnot get me a spyder AMG lcd but told me to get the AMG clasic instead same gun but it comes with all modes disabled (permenantly) obviously apart from semi

Crom-baby, I know that YOU know, just making it absolutely clear for those out there who obviously have problems with the difference between semi & select modes. e.g.
"I know you can only have semi mode, but select isn't FULL auto is it, so it should be OK"
Sort of like the guys who you tell "HSE bottles only, no DOT" then a week later they are surprised when someone won't fill their DOT bottle

Is there a glossary somewhere where I can look up stuff like HSE and DOT?

Or do I just keep asking dumb-ass newbie questions here in the forums?
