Well, I spent $300 on a new speedy chip, so I figured I’d write a review on it after last nights practice.
After reading about the chip on various websites, I decided to check out www.advantagepb.com . The site was very professional, so I figured the chances of being ripped off were very small unlike buying from someone on pbnation who “claims” to have a ramper. I ordered the chip on Saturday, and it arrived at my door on Tuesday. The chip came very professionally packaged, with a note explaining how it works, and with my unique code for enabling the ramping. I’m not gonna tell you my code for obvious reasons, but it was 6 digit, and was something like 110101 with 1 representing the on/off membrane, and 0 representing the eye membrane.
When the gun and eye are on, and you enter in the code correctly, the led brightens for a ¼ of a second indicating the gun is now in ramping mode. If you tap either membrane just once, it goes back into stock mode. There is no indication when you tap the button and it goes back to stock, but I guess it’s better that way.
When not in ramping mode, the chip performed identically to my stock chip. When it was in ramp mode, it was soooo fast.. I could run around the field shooting lefty with a full stream coming out of my gun. When I keyed the corners off the break, I hit someone almost every time. I have used other rampers before, and I believe that the speedy chip is even slightly faster.
For most of the practice we were playing against younger kids, so I kept the gun in stock mode. It was better practice that way, and I didn’t spend a fortune on paint (the only downfall of using a ramping gun).
After one of the games when I was using the gun in ramp mode, one of the kids was saying to me how my gun was so illegal. I said to him no its not, try it. As I handed him the gun, I bumped the membrane with my palm. He shot the gun as fast as he could and then said he was wrong, and that I just shoot real fast. A good test on what to do if a ref asks for your gun. : )
All in all, AdvantagePB delivered an excellent product, and came better then described. I would recommend this chip to everyone. It is one of the most expensive chips out there, but if you want the best, I guess you have to pay the most.
Posting this review, I’m sure I’m going to get flamed by every 16 year old kid who can’t afford one of these chips. I don’t care. I don’t think ramping guns are wrong. They have become part of the game, and they add excitement to the sport. If you think Advantagepb are the only ones selling ramping chips, do a search for ramp on PBNation, and it will come up with 5 pages of people selling/trading/using ramping chips. Also, if you shoot me in the leg as I run to a bunker I’m going to slide on it. Just like everyone else. When I was in grade school, I use to cheat on tests.. When I drive I speed. I have no regrets on how I live my life. Only the strong Survive.
