i had a dig thru some of this stuff about was boards etc last night....quite fancy the idea of tinkering with putting a morlock into an angel lcd, with a custom frame....nice and fast, might save that one for a project later in the year!

If I maybe permitted to inject a little opinionated common sense into this controversy.
I never really bought the proclamations of "Eugene the Techno-geek" emerging from his "Bat Cave" after spending 40 days and 40 nights making minute adjustments to his Timmy w/HaloB and achieving a ROF north of 20 BPS. Nor did I feel the urge, as others did, to bow before Eugene's "techno-geekedness". Which must have made up for the lack of homage paid to his abilities on the field.
Since I didn't buy the hype, nor pay homage to those who claimed crazy-ROF, I was not offended when this apparent revelation about WAS and JD's so-called marketing practices has surfaced. But it seems that a lot of the "Eugene, Techno-geeks" out there are livid, and that I find quite amusing. JD and WAS preyed on a segment of the paintball community that seemed to crave higher rates of fire above all else, even that pesky little thing known as playing skill.
For the most part, I feel WAS and JD succeeded in creating a bunch of reality for the few with common sense, along with a little illusion for the masses who were willing to believe the unbelievable.

The only reason I opted for a WAS board for my Timmy is because I kinda like the fact it keeps check of the position of the bolt, so as not to fool the eyes. I don't shoot any faster or slower with it. Biggest change was sticking a HALO on top of it instead of an Egg. Thanks for that tip, Manike.
Mark, I completely agree.

As I'm sure most people by now have seen or heard the amount of BS that JD spouted, it was fun reading the post's made by Si and others at pbnation prooving JD's claims wrong.
That said though I don't think anyone who's used a WAS boarded marker would dissagree that they are incredibly fast whilst still set up to be tournament legal. Having seen the difference the WAS boards made to the Viking coming from the older Nelson boards I don't need to read any hype to make me appreciate the product, in fact it still amazes me how much paint these markers can put out without chopping a ball.
As Mike has said the eye system cannot be set uo to make the marker bounce if the debounce is set too low it'll bounce no matter if the eyes are on or not.

I agree with the general consensus here.
When I put in an Equaliser board for the first time it probably added a couple of bps, if only because it got rid of the "burped" shots that I used to get with the SOB.
The other useful thing is the battery voltage display, very useful.
Was it a panacea for the worlds ills ..... well no.
For BPS out the front then a HALO will do more good than anything else.
