as far as i have been informed "any projectile air weapon that discharges more than 5.65 times per trigger cycle (one pull, one release) is classed as a level five firearm and requires a firearms license to own one"

Simple answer to the question Chris is *it’s your call*

If players get lit up on a walk on day by a high rate of fire they will not come back. Players that get shot by the ones that turn the guns over 300fps will not come back.

These Domination days that you hold are frequented by a diverse range of players from first time rentals to veteran scenario players, walk-on's to tournament players.

The ones that turn up the velocity send them packing with a ban.

It’s a fun day! You ban ramping now so the next step is sort out the fps. this I think should be caped at 280 not 300. Run the same rule as they do at the UK Masters; 280 – 300 turn it down. 300 and over you don’t play. You use handheld croney on your site so spot check, but you have to be firm about it.

Chris

as a player on a walk-on day it would be great fun to blast 12-15rps at an enemy player. :)

having been a player hit with a long burst in the first domination (had 9 welts on my back from a 15 to 20 round burst) it wasnt any fun! :(

if people use RT then 3 to 5 round bursts if they cant be sensible then ban it and say semi only

you'll still get tourney guys able to blast 12 to 15 rps using semi but it minimises the temptation the hold the trigger down and pretend your big bad ass macho dude boy from the hood or ari with a freeking uzi!

you gotta think of the punters and players.

what best... making 3 or 4 guys happy (who may use 6,000 to 8,000 rounds in a day) or make 15 people so pissed off they wont come back

walks are meant to be fun

tourneys are serious

so whats your call going to be on the next walk on 30th October at Unreal chris?

what will you decide to do on domination IV?

someone at the WOR4 game had a heavily modded tipman with scenario kit bolted on doing full auto and it really pissed me off. ramping is bad enough but just holding the trigger for full auto is in my opnion another darker shade of grey.

full auto = crap

i was told by one of my friends dadswho works for the Special Operation Unit as part of the police.

he told me this in about 1998 so the laws may have relaxed since as this was one of the limits imposed after the dunblane incident.

Any fire arm over 5.56mm .22 in other words, cannot be any more than semi auto...is more likely.

This means, that any firearm, has to be single shot, not semi or full auto...which is why we can only have .22LR Semi Auto rifles, like my sexy Ruger!

Crossed wires, different subject...but not totally wrong.

Ban them - I went to a walk on in Scotland (not hard to guess which one )which apart from being crap for lots of reasons ,the organizers allowed full auto tippmans but shouted at myself and a teammate who were sending five or six shot bursts from our egos (in semi)

### rest edited as caused offence###

that asides there were lots of scenario ballers however standing and mowing the **** out of anybody that moved with full auto (very obvious sound signature) - but as they were camo'ed up the organizers had no issues at all - blatently wrong and means they wont be getting anymore cash from me or my friends - which is the ultimate price you pay for **** rules and lack of proper marshalling

let me switch my ego/shocker/whatever on PSP or NXL and then ill have no issues - thats not going to happen though is it .
