Nick, do you remember having to shake your gun every five shots? If a league picked that up it would be the largest mass exodus ever.

Wouldn't it be easier to build a test for BPS feed on a electric hopper than the marker?

You turn it on and see how fast they come out. Must be a simple test and you get your paint back after

yeah, gravity feed is not an option. In fact, you might say it was a gay idea, but it would certainly be the death of whatever league implemented it.

On second thoughts, maybe the millenium series should implement it?
Oh, no hold on a minute, they would have to see someone else do it first, and then they could promise to do it the following year, and then procrastinate and end up not doing it, but not issue a decision either way, even putting 'gravity feed only' in the rules and then issuing a second verbal rule at their event saying that the written rule wasn't going to be implemented, but it wasn't going to be deleted either...

It's really no different than testing a gun before a game, todays hoppers have plenty of aftermarket boards themselves.

I think by Gravity feed Ben meant going back to things like Revys (with lower feed rates) not actual shake your marker stylee

I think he is getting at if the feeder can only load say 10-12 a second then any ramping/fa etc becomes pointless.

ITN, in your opinion, are the NPPL's means of catching bad-guys equal to that of the NXL?

I don't know, Parksy, that goes back to the whole software problem. Remember when Dynasty had the fastest Revolutions on the planet? Those weren't Wal-Mart Revvy's.

I can see how that would make Brass Eagle happy...

Seriously, when thinking up an idea, you have to think through the implications of putting it into place.

Does a Halo feed the same on gun as a drop test - no.

Could you have a hybrid board that sensed when the gun was firing add 20% extra speed - easy.

At what point do you define the gravity part? a Warp is a gravity fed load system.

increase

one reason for the increase could be that the sofware to program gun cheats is in more hands than before. The reason more people have purchased this is to allow them to compet in psp millenium etc. so they have the power to gun cheat so they do.
