More like:

Rampign can not be penalised, as the rules are worded sufficiently vagueley/badly enough that ramping modes are undetectable by the word of the rules.

seriously are we going to find out were thay can hit your marker and how hard
as i said before in tests i broke a egg hopper glad it was not my halo
i am starting to think is it worth going to bitburg because if someone brakes my hopper or gun by hitting it i am going to be really pissed off about it
look there is enough of us players out there so for crying out load lets just all say on the day NO your are not hitting my gun or hopper for fear of braeking it
what are thay going to do ban every player from the event
its about time we as a group of players stand up for ourselfs and say enough is enough
i am all for safety and dont want anyone to get hurt but we will get hurt in oue wallets when we have to fix our broken hoppers and guns

Jaime,

Every electronic marker can be made to fire by 'bumping' it. it just depends on how stongly/hard it is done.

That is a down-right lie.

In order for a marker to fire when bumped, the acceleration of the marker caused by the bump must be enough that the force against the trigger spring caused by accelerating the trigger to the same velocity as the marker is big enough to make the marker fire.

It is very easy to have a light enough trigger and a strong enough spring that no amount of human-generated velocity change (short of dropping it off a building) would cause the marker to erroneously fire.

F = ma

Force exerted by a spring increases as it is compressed; as long as the force exerted just before the trigger passes the firing point exceeds the accelerationg caused by bumping hte marker times the mass of the trigger, you're good.


So, there is simply no excuse for a marker that fires due to a "bump" other than the user being a moron.

Chicago,

Do you ever get bored listening to yourself?

Fine, If I'm mistaken then I'm mistaken! Don't come on here accusing me of fcuking lying for no reason what-so-ever u muppet!

As I say, if you think I am mistaken about the 'bumping' question fine, explain to me/us in that boring ol'****e way of yours but don't accuse me of something that I have not done!

EDIT ADDED: Quality control removed a half dozen excessive "mad" Smilies as unecessarily redundant as well as some gratuitous offensive language. Admonition added free of charge: Children, behave. TFP

Fully agree with this statement!!
