My suggestions for gun control...

Show cheaters we mean business and for once, they might take heed.

Totally agree. The thing is it goes back to the problem of actually being able to catch, or prove people have these things in there markers

I see what you mean about seal the boards upon manufacture, but this will mean that if a software upgrade (like a mem upgrade on the IR3) comes out you would have to replace the whole board as it isn't programable any more.

Or would this just lead to people producing fake looking boards that are still programable?

I think half the problem is that markers now a days have electronics, chips etc in them now, and as with any technology there are workarounds which will allow you to hack/change/alter there original intended function...

If the trigger detection is completely separate to the firing of the gun (as it is in all properly designed interrupt driven boards) then there would be no dropped shots until your average got very close to 15bps.

But then you are queing shots, right?

It's not the average that's the issue. We see on the CRO some very close pull times. If you already have a shot in the queue when this occurs and you are limiting the time between two cycles to give a max rof of 15bps. It seems that you would end up over running the queue in a decent string... what happens when you finish pulling the trigger?...

And what contitutes "finishing" - as how does the gun know your intent to go up/down in ROF?

For instance you go from pulling the trigger at 17bps (and getting capped to 15) then say slow down to 1 or 2 bps while reloading what happens? where does the bps cap and stacked shots finish?
