not mechanicel bounce test but ramping test

[John C]

Are you sure it stops right away? Every time?

Because when you are shooting 3bps it remains in ramp mode for 1/3 of a second, otherwise 3bps wouldnt sustain ramp mode.

Unless it can predict that you are about to stop pulling the trigger and cancel the shots, which is impossible.


It may seem like it stops straight away, it is the difference between 0.1 and 0.2 seconds (or in the case of your 3bps kick in, 0.33 seconds). But the limit is 0.1s which equates to a kick in of 10bps.

It wont happen every time either, depending on at what part of the cycle you are in.

But I assure you, it would fail if the shot storing rules are applied as they are written.



I will be playing the MS using a ramping gun, and the ramping will kick in at 10bps.
My gun will NOT store shots longer than 0.1 seconds (as after 0.1 seconds 10bps ramping is not sustained and any shots cancelled).


I believe that PA legal 5bps kick in would fail on this rule, as it is written.

Thanks for the heads up! Your gun is going to be SO easy to nick. Like we'll need a robot to catch yours. We'll feel that one when we do the chrono test.

Sorry, you get to say it again. That's the price to pay for being MS's UNofficial spokeperson.

Sadly i am not playing Germany Steve

Will be there watching but as yet have no plans to play.

May adjust the Ego before i play a MS event though. But still there is not a bounce test

Aha! Now I see your ploy! You're setting up all of Shock's competition!

(Sorry, I guess I've got spring fever.)

I honestly don't know but I wouldn't be SO sure there won't be something that might resemble a bounce test.

Hey John C - you'll be the biggest "moran" of them all after you get caught with your ramping gat.

Between you and sjt19....someone needs to do y'all a favor and remove your feeding tubes...cuz you gots to be brain dead to announce how you will cheat before you do it.

Hi ChuckC, thanks for contributing.


If you actually took in and understood what you have read, you would know that setting your gun up to ramp to 15bps from 10 does not break the rules.

OMG

Ramping is illegal - but the MS don't test for it... and then you guys ANNOUNCE that you are cheating publicly???

Hilarious

I think you will find Nick that the Ego board is set like that on all the guns as stock. It is for the user to adjust. Obviously the user would alter the base bps at which the gun ramps at before use

ChuckC, you are a valuable poster on these boards....

It is not cheating Nick, if it is allowed. If everyone is doing it, including the teams of the guys on the board/commitees then whats the big deal? You will be doing it as well.

Which doesn't change the fact that there is a rule that still says "one pull one shot". The fact that the MS is probably not checking that the guns comply to that rule doesnt' change the fact that ramping is still against the rules (or the fact that almost everyone will be using some form of ramping / bounce / whatever on their guns).

Everyone who has the chance to buy a board, or update their gun software before Germany will do.

After Germany i would imagine that there will be a rule change. Allowing ramping publically and setting out the exact parameters for the degree of ramp allowed
