More petrol on the fire
When you think about the team he owns and the players he has if he thinks that the rate is too high I am happy to listen and in this point I agree with him.
His points about better reffing will catch naughty markers is wrong it can not be done the modes/cheats are to clever, one of the most common ones I know about in the states (beside the breakout mode) needs the player to shoot the gun at more than 7bps to keep the cheat mode active, how on earth could any ref find that.
And as for the player being banned, that gun was supplied by an UKPSF trade member in ramp enabled mode, but will the ukpsf say anything to them, no of course it wont it will just let the inexperienced player who just thought he could shoot fast to carry the can.
And as for signing documents about not using ramping chips, the player who was banned at the masters would have quite happily signed that because he purchased his ion from a ukpsf trade shop and they wouldn't supply something like that would they.
Of course they would and have done for years and perhaps the insurance companys should be told that.
Do rec ball games carry insurance because there is more full auto/ramping guns at them than any other.
I found a fully auto marker at the UKPSF big game and what was done, nothing
I found many guns firing at over the limit and nothing was done apart from asking them to turn it down and one was 420fps but who's bothered about it really. As long as the events make money who gives a **** about the people paying the bills.
What about the player who was shot through the top of his goggles so got hit in the face at the masters (Kewi Jono) if that had happened at the PA we would have had a 20 page rant on here by now and have been blaming it on the ramping, or was it the cheats allowed at other events, maybe, maybe not but should we not tell the insurance companies what happened and point out the risk to their funds

I spoke to Robbo about this and he told me that it was not ramping itself he does not like but the unrealistic rate of fire it allows you to reach.

They was also concerned when I explained about why we wanted a cap on the rate of fire at tournament level, as to what the other tounament events allow or say they will is another matter. Nobody is even thinking of letting customer sites have any sort of ramp mode and as for the tournament sites do you really think players do not break the rules at EVERY and I do mean EVERY event, well done to the girls who proved they had the balls to keep to there rules about banning a player who used a ramp mode.
Well I must remember to give them my input about what happens at the events they insure.

Well we did and ours is fine they may have expressed some concern if I told them what happens at other events !!!

. After all revvy's made the leap to x-board to give better feed rates - same for eggs with the y/z boards. Manufacturers will see it as a challenge and come up with something (same way they did for the trigger frames). And how do you see inside a hopper thats full of paintballs?
