Question 1: What category would people with e-grips on Tippmann's be in if it's set to semi? Would it be RT Mechanical or Mechanical?

Question 2: Can people enter in more than 1 category?

egrips are electro.

enter as many catagories and entries as you want.

[schnips]

kewl, I may have to enter this in the Stock Class Bad Ass and the Mechanical

[Leafy]

what class would a mech cocker with a/t get put in? mech or mech r/t?

[IhasAcellular]

shit......looks like I need to find a qloader >

That would be mech

looks like I need to source a mech front block for my sinper so I can destroy the mech, if I could actually feed paint at 80+ bps.

that would be an rt, much like a reflex kit cocker.


the reason for the chrono is to make sure that no one is just getting there gun to cycle fast. if you don't have a chrono, the perfect place to film your video is your local feild after/before a day of play. use tehre chrono!

[shutts67]

I think the lower limit on the speed in unnecessary. (mostly because my Maverick only chronos about 240)

[Dragon1291]

Blast! too bad my Marker is 2 hours away from me.
anyways.. this is as fast as I can rock a mech tippmann...woot?



The Day after that vid i went to the field... strangely enough the revy fed every shot that day. \

Anyways.. bestt of luck to everyone who is competing!

tahts teh point of the lower limit, to make sure people arn't shooting low.

pulls out his SL8R and SL94. hum!

Damn. Given about two more weeks instead of one I might have had the mechanical badge locked down. Still having problems with what I've got right now. Lucky for the rest of you guys dry firing doesn't count.

this is an ongoing contest. The first round of judging will be November 1st. After that entries can come at any point.

Cool. Just to be clear, what would count in the non-R/T mechanical class? Is that basically all there is to it? Any mechanical marker that doesn't use a system to reset the trigger after every shot? Is bouncing allowed in any class?

non RT mechanical guns mean you have to pull the trigger for each shot. all mecahnical guns use a mechaincal system to reset after the shot - but guns like the RTmag, Tippmanns with RT grips and reflex cockers can effectively be sweetspotted where you don't pull the trigger - the trigger just bounces off your finger to cycle the gun. Those are RT guns.

what do you mean by trigger bouncing? In electros yes, bounce is fine. In the RT class - yes bounce is fine. In mechanical and pump I don't know what bounce would be.

Thanks, that's what I was asking. My understanding though was that the difference between a response trigger and a regular mechanical trigger was that a response trigger actively returned the trigger to the initial position after the firing process rather than simply let a spring mechanism return the trigger. Was that wrong?

my standard mag and my cocker both actively return the trigger - the mag using air pressure and the cocker using springs. They just don't do it hard enough to RT. Does that make sense? It's a fine line, I know - but I guess the RT effect is the only real difference.

I'm not super familiar with the Phenom - but I think that may use air pressure to return the trigger when in mech mode - as does the Epic - but neither of those RT either.

breaking out the Blade Turbo for the AT pump!!!

DAMN! i wish i still had my spyder egrip. i could walk that faster than any other electro i own!

Is useing Ramp aloud?? just thought I would ask

[cockerpunk]

any mode is legal in electro.

[speedwoods39]

why no reballs? I get the other rules, but

[IntenseImage]

You guys are lucky I dont have this anymore:



And from what we can tell, these are FULL cycles ... just cant get paint into it anywhere near fast enough:
