Ramping Markers?

[strider]

Hi All ,

I am new in the business and just wanted to know. I am not sure if it was posted on not.

But how can we check a marker is ramping or not? I saw some ref doing the trigger test and he tried to explain to me, but basically I was lost in the midle of th explaination.

Really need help here.

Thanks

ramping is quite simple. its a way of getting a high bps (balls per second) by doing less trigger work. you fire at a rate of like 8bps (slow) and your circuit board 'ramps' it upto 13 for example. if you shoot at say 13bps, it ramps it upto 18-20. less work on your fingers, more paint heading toward the poor soul your aiming at.

aka cheating. they do the trigger test because if you walk it for a few seconds and then let go of the trigger, the gun still fires quite a few more balls. it simply keeps firing for a few seconds when you release the trigger, and that is the board ramping more balls out than you fired.

hope that helps in your understanding. if not, then i'll crawl back into my hole again

Dude,

Thanks a lot, that really help me clearify things. So basically the ref just walk the trigger on stop, if there is still balls coming then thats it .. simple .. you rock

is that always the case Pureball? because a team mate of mine has a tadeo 5.0 ramp board, it will ramp, but as soon as you stop pulling the trigger it will not carry on firing the few extra rounds as seen on other guns/boards.... so im not sure if what you just said was completly true pureball.

its meant to stop firing as soon as you stop walking if a ball comes out after 100ms then your gun is classed as runaway and you cant use it (i think)

then it isnt ramping surely?

ok even if it is, 9/10 the marker will carry on firing when the trigger stops being pulled.

and yes sie2050, youre right

but the easy way to tell if just to walk it fairly slowly and if it shoots stoopid fast its ramping.

na dont you have to start if off first: do a high bps, and then slow down- you can keep the high bps going with a reeeally slow walk

the only reason I like ramping is that you can get a high bps on your right hand, and then pass it on to your left hand

edit: ^^ that said, im anti ramping and if i played in a ramping tournament id probably use semi only.

("technology doing what skill cannot" is true, and using ramping to play fast with my left hand would not help at all, only practising and improving my own skills would help me)

Technology doing what skill Can not

Heard all these argument when Semis first came popular
An erosion of skill (they wont beat my Sterling)

Then again with Air and Electros (Angels and Shockers Ill laugh when it rains and they dont work)

So whats the real answer (progress ?)
