There are already things like that, example NPPL robot. Still there are easy ways of getting around it. Fact is cheating is a part of the game, if you don't like it, find a new hobby.

If you dont like the cheating you dont need to find a new hobby. People that cheat should realize how gay it is. Cheating may win, but your a loser in heart.

Oh come on you guys just don't like cheating cause you don't know how to do it so you get away with it. for example if i cheat on you and do it well enough no one will ever know unless i say something. and as long as you feel bad for losing weither or not i cheated makes me feel happy. LOL i'm only kidding if you have to cheat to win that doesn't make you a good player it makes you a good cheater. what makes a good player is someone who can shoot you out with out cheating

sorry for my absence I have been out on missions. Army-b4 anything else over here lol. but now that Karzai is back and safe i can go on with my life hehe.

a ghosting gun is a gun where when you are shooting the micro processor on the board is getting more inputs than trigger pulls. they call it ghosting. its very similar to ramping, but its not set up like this intentionally.
as for people that are good at cheating, they are good at deception is all, it does not make them a good player. Its most unfortunate that the sport is losing its integrity like it is. The up and coming players are going to learn from pro cheaters and think this is how the sport is supposed to be played. How sad is that? Or is this the reality that we as a team are going to have to accept?

there is an artical in facefull on this exact subject. the author (and I) agree that there is cheating in any sport. Basketball there are fouls, football there penalties, etc. But imagine if we all got 5 wipes like b-ball players get fouls?? The one sport which paintball should follow in regards to penalties is golf. Do you see tiger woods using a cheater wood or iron club? Do you see ernie els droping his ball incorrectly? Did you ever see Jack Nicholas miscount his strokes? No, why because if they were caught cheating they are kicked out of the tournament and the PGA would probaly fine them or give them some other punishment.

I believe that this should be the same in paintball. If a person or persons on a time are found cheating, especially with there guns (as this is a premedatated action) they and their team should be eliminated from the tournament. If at the next tournament they are found to be cheating again kick them out for the year (or next year if it is the end of the current series). As for wiping and playing on, that is a little grayer on what should be done. I like the one for one or two for one. I have said it in other posts, but if you have to cheat you suck. Even the pros, granted they are better than us, but if they have to cheat to win are they really professional or wannabe players? If you can win without cheating you are good. If you cheat to win you look it but will never be good and it will always catch up to you in the end.
