12bps full auto would be good.

aye, either that or a lower kick in time for ramping and sustain make it 4bps or something low.

still illegal in the uk in any shape or form according to a copper mate of mine.

however a PSP type 3 shot burst would be interesting. I say drop the kick in rate as well, teams are doing it anyway, and what difference does it really make??

I think it will be a positive move, and bring the focus back to a players ability.

Lets not bring this into the discussion - just believe me when I tell you we could have 50 bps full auto and it WOULD NOT be illegal as far as the law is concerned in the UK.

When I originally proposed the ramp rule to the PSP I always wanted a lower rate of fire so if a reduction happens it can only be a good thing.

we've been through the board adding shots thing once, and its not going to change. So with current semi modes, most people can consistently shoot over 12 bps.
We have been through this before... you are in the minority if you can shoot over 12bps consistantly. Most markers in semi will show you your rof count, but this is just a max, no where near a consistant level. Fill your hopper with 100 balls and then empty it on semi, you will find you are shooting way slower than you perceive!

As for lowering the rof I agree! Too many people rely on lanes both off the break and then sitting behind a bunker once they have made it in off the break. Lower the ROF and you increase the gaps you have a chance of getting through. Anyone laneing paint at 15bps should hit anything attempting to run through it which makes people less likely to move bunkers, making for boring to watch (and play in) paintball.

well im new to pb i think the rof should be dropped and then i might see more actions, in players moving about more on the field i think it should be 12bps and all in all i think the games will be played better and get more fun out of it.
We all can sit behind a bunkers and fire 15bps so to stop any one moving whats the FUN in that i like to see the players move more and then its more skillful then in the game

DONT SHOOT ME DOWN YET lol

I say 8 BPS, so we can break out the mech cockers again......:rolleyes:

Nah seriously, 12 is a good figure, i reckon with a 6bps kick-in rate so it roughly doubles to ROF, effectively giving 2 shot bursts .....:D
