Problem using F/A at your local field

Heebs · 09-08-2008, 06:58 PM

Has anyone had a problem using the full auto mode at their local field? FA goes from 10-12bps and the supposed tournament cap is at 13.3 but I know a lot of fields let kids run ramping up to whatever they want.

12. PAINTBALL MARKERS: Automatic Markers that are in a mode of self loading and shooting at a rate faster than one round per manual activation of the trigger’s cycle are PROHIBITED. All markers must be operated in semi-automatic modes only under this program.

I dont see where APL and CIA have similar constraints.

F/A drives new players (ie first time rentals) away from the sport

it should not be allowed

F/A lets the fields sell more paint.

ide say cap the field's bps at what ever the rentals shoot at. this should close up any bps complaints.

Having shot an ATS gun on full auto, I'm pretty positive it wasn't chugging along at 10-12bps.

F/A is the same thing as ramping in my book

One of my local fields will let me use my AT-85 in full auto only against ramping electros on the speedball field. A different field doesn't allow it in full auto for most play, but will occasionaly allow it for special events.
