using your own equipment

Uh? Fill a gravity hopper and let the balls free fall, that's a lot more than 6bps, unless your SL66 kicks like a mule I think you could out shoot all the punters, unless it was Ollie Lang on a Jolly

I am not sure what kick really has to do with feed rate, and my SL66 is very low kick , but the main problem I have found when using a gravity feed is the inconsistency in feed rate as you can easily get a jam and then have to shake the hopper to get it flowing again so you can't just rip out 30 balls in a row. And in my experience if you are used to using a tippmann you can get them up to a bit higher than that .

Totally thread jacking now! If you had a lot of kick the recoil would bounce the balls back up the feedneck, point taken about the jams, etc, infact I also have a 98 I keep for a bit of fun and it works much better with an agitating hopper. with a single trigger and a mechanical sear trigger you'd have to be going some to achieve the tippys 9bps (claimed?) whlie I can quite easily pull 20+ on my fly (true semi, no raping and no added bounce)!

TBH, if i was going to do a punter day, I'd take my 98 and a riccochett, I'm sure It would be less likley to give trouble than a site gun and if I took an electro anybody I shot would only cry unfair. The other week when training on the site my mate marshalls at we had some brave punters want a game with 'those guys', so we set up a 3 on 6 for them, and encouraged their mates to coach them from the tape, I'm sure you can guess the out come, but they were up for it, anf went away thanking us, and raving about our guns

I had similar situation the other week but it was 6 vs 40 on 7man field, normal rules for us except no mugging and no marker hits for them. Took a while as we couldn't bunker people but we won!

Definately agree about about how much difference the forde feed hopper makes on a tippy. Thats why the site uses the hopper as the bps limiter for when people want to use their own markers, unless it is a walk on and then the amount of paint flying is just crazy!!!
