Ok i have read through all the posts regarding the change. Perhaps its just me but im having trouble making sense of it all.

so what i would like to know is

1) number of shots to enter firing mode (i.e. how many shots in semi before ramp kicks in)

2) kick in rate (i.e. what bps to you have to be doing for ramp to take place)

3) sustain rate - i assume that would be the same as number 2.

If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated:eek:

Millennium Series ROF cap in 2008:

Following discussions with team owners last week and extensive consulting with various gun/board manufacturers the MS will update the respective wording of rule ''11.01 Markers'' to

- The first 3 shots must be semi-auto mode only.
- Markers will be limited to a ROF of 12 balls per second, defined as no two consecutive shots may be timed shorter than 83ms apart (reading on ROF meter of 12.0 bps or less = legal; reading on ROF meter of 12.1 bps or higher = illegal).
- Ramping of shots will be allowed only, once 6 bps has been achieved. Then the marker may ramp to 12 bps, but only as long the 6 bps is continually maintained. Once the trigger is stopped to be activated, only one single additional shot may be discharged.

Clarification: the 6 bps for start/sustain ramping dose not need to be hit physically, it refers to the time delay between trigger activations, which must be at least the equivalent to 6 bps. So a marker may start to ramp up to 12 bps, if (after the first three shots being in semi-auto only) the time delay between 3rd and 4th trigger activation is less than 167ms.

Another point.....

Like the above rule quote says first three shots - semi mode only
It may start to ramp to 12bps on the forth shot providing the extrapolated rate of fire between shots three and four would equate to gun shooting in excess of six balls per second.

So it mentions the third and forth shot time delay but....................
as for the first and second shots....... well according to the rule as written you could have shot those last week!
A point of our more enquiring forum users mentioned to Ulrich last week.
I will let him tell you what was said to him......
