Its been talked about somewhere use search but something along the lines..... Because it isnt a gun.
might be a silly question.. Ramping??

I will do a search john, but as far as i was aware our guns come under the class 2 firearm grouping, which air rifles are catagorised as which is where we get our 300fps velocity(=12lbs/ft or something?) restriction from, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that they use the term "marker" and they're not actually "guns"
With my Ion, if you put it on rebound mode, you have to shoot the marker semi auto up to 10bps. Then when you can consistently reach 10bps, the gun will ramp to the max rate of fire - which is 17bps with the stock board.
Check out how the original turbo board by SP worked - that's ramping but still with 1 shot per trigger action (near enough). But that isn't how todays boards work

I'm probably wrong, but the way Turbos were described to me...
I thought the Turbo shockers programming were based on the circuit board storing trigger pulls which the marker couldn't turn into cycles - for example pulling the trigger whilst the marker was in mid-cycle, and then releasing them when the markers trigger slowed down, so the marker catched up.
This is different to ramping which is the board detecting 6cps from the trigger and automatically applying a multiplier to it.

Well in Turbo mode for the old shocker each heavy hit of the trigger was actually detected several times by the switch, and was stored up..... So it felt like you were shooting 6bps... but the actual amount of presses on the microswitch was more so therefore you were 'ramping' but every shot HAD been detected on the switch...
Does that make sense?

But for anyone who cares : here is the article on the original turbo mode:
