So what's the problem with full auto?

[Smakman]

The insurance companies are clamping down and not allowing full auto. (When ARE we going to stop letting insurance companies dictate to us how we can play, anyway?) I don't own a gun that fires in true full auto myself, though I do have the response trigger in my M98. They tout it as a safety issue, but what exactly IS that issue? If you are wearing the proper equipment, how is full auto any less safe? A hopper will only feed so fast anyway and at least some players I know can out shoot their hopper in semi with the right trigger setup. So my question is, what is the difference in one player with full auto shooting at you, and having two or three players shooting at you in semi? I would raher be taking on that one guy with the full auto. Will the next insurance rule be that only one player at a time can be shooting at another player? Can anyone explain to me what the safety issue is about full auto or do you think is it only a political correctness thing?

Mabye they think that if a marker is on full auto it well cause over shooting. But hey No pain, no game right?

I can see what you mean about overshooting, but IMO, that's the player's fault, not the gun's. F/A does make it easier to do though.

The deal is not the fact the guns shoot full auto, but think of it this way. Semi, you can only shoot so fast. Perhaps hit someone with about 5-8 hits. On F/A you shoot them MUCH more and there is a greater chance of injury (yeah I know, it's poo but still that's how it looks on paper). Also goggles can withstand only so much of an impact. The more shots the greater the chance of breaking (yeah I KNOW it's not much of a chance but the chance DOES increase and that's what matters to them).

What the insurance companies try to do is charge as much as possible while still reducing their risk as much as possible, even in miniscule amounts. Then, when a claim is made, do their absolute best to get out of paying anything.
