Very good to see that. It really is a serious problem (people wanting to shut down paintball...not what word you use to describe your marker). It's even hit Congress a few times. Classic case of a few bad apples........

Anyway, enjoy your time on the field.

I love paintball. I have just started to get into airsoft. Now that is insane!!! Those "guns" (yes they are guns) pack a punch. 400-500 rpm, and they can get to 300-400 feet per second.

Ouch!!!

There are those that believe that paintball is evil, that it symbolizes people shooting each other with guns. The stereotype that goes through many people's heads when they hear "paintball" is the military wanna-be freak dressed in head to toe camo who goes out "lookin for some kills." They see the marker with a trigger and a barrel and automatically assume it's there to symbolize a gun and believe that it condones violence.

There are also those who want the sale of markers banned altogether because of a**holes who find it necessary to take their markers out and shoot at people on the street or mess up people's houses, stores, mailboxes, you name it. Unfortunately it quickly becomes these people who become the face of paintball, rather than those of us who play because we love the game and enjoy the teamwork and competition.

It is a sport that has a very high level of possible negative visibility--and it is the job of those of us who love the game to protect it and to educate others as to what it's all about.

As for your claims of 30-35 bps---I'd first ask how good you were with your current marker? You may be able to spray 30 balls at me and hope that you hit me, but if I can put one ball on your boot that you leave sticking out with one shot.....you're out baby. :p The marker does not make the player.

You are aware that that is non-regulation right? What field are you playing at that

1) Is allowing you to go full auto and
2) at full auto is allowing those shot rates?

They need to have their license revoked before someone gets seriously hurt----or are you guys just going out into some field somewhere? If you are....please read my other post in this thread about 50 times, then get back to me.

Are you guys up on the smart parts thing going on??? Well, smart parts has the patent for electronic guns so they are sueing each company like WDP, kingman, and other companies that sell any type of electronic gun. They are sueing them for a million dollars for each company and they want $75 from each gun that the companies sell..... so beccause of this the gun prices might go up higher causing us to be affected by it....... correct me if i am wrong about any of that...... BOYCOT SMART PARTS!

You usually cant get up to that high of BPS with the board set to full auto. You can reach much higher BPS speed on semi.
