cap on b.p.s.

The NPPL is considering a 15 bps cap. If the NPPL does this then all Feeder circuits and most locals will probably adopt the same rules.

Currently the PSP & NXL have 15 bps Cap rules. Its a 15 bps cap if you are ramping, rebounding, bounce, etc.

If you use a true Semi then its unlimited.

Its gonna make it a hella lot more competitive, and its going to bring the safety margin of the sport back into perspective.

I agree that this 13 bps, is low, and I do agree that this prolly won't stand if they in fact do something like this. I am sure they will come to an agreement some where between 13 and 20 if I were guessing.

I also think that this would be a good idea for the tourney player with a budget in mind. Sure you can spend 1500+ on a sweet marker, but is that really what a 15 year old guy, with a very limited amount of cash is going to be able to do? If they could spend 500 dollars for a gun that easily shoots say 15bps, then these players could afford to get the paint to practice, and afford the entrance fees for the tournaments.

I am just ranting on here, but I think that the good for the sport as a whole out weighs the bad here. my .02

very very very good point. i now think that 18 bps cap would be great. it is still fast enough to catch a few guys off break and slow enough that its not over kill.

thanks man.

Yeah, thx allen, i agree w/ that 100%. Also, **** you circus clown. Last, i agree w/ my teammate, ballisticchic, cuz the main point to paintball is to shoot em' out, and if laning's the only way, then so be it.

sorry ballisticchic, I was just looking for some clarifaction of that one. I appreciate the editing of the post and making it PG.

ok, so back to the subject lol.

I agree that laning is a necessary part of the game. Can you lane though with a cap? imagine if we had a 15bps cap, and then we have a 3 ball semi, 15bps max full auto.

do you think you can still lane the same as if you were unlimited? Most people can only trigger a gun to 15 bps anyhow. I really don't think that its going to affect the masses.

How do you feel about this?

What is the point of having a ball cap? We might as well only use 1 hopper and one pod. It doesent take skill to hold your trigger down and have it do all the work. There is not really any skill needed for back players if you have a cap. All back players will be almost exactly the same. Off break no one team will have a advantage. Which is bull shit for the back player who worked hard to be able to shoot 15+ a second when the other team gets it with just holding the trigger down.
