Ramping

[Mad Jackal]

I've been out of the sport too long....
What is Ramping?.... I can only assume it has to do with an electric gun... maybe something with the board....//

you are correct on both parts. Ramping is a mode of firing on electro markers. Basically on most ramping modes you have to set an activation speed (about 4-6bps) and a ramp speed (15bps usually) once you walk the trigger to your activation speed the marker will jump to the ramp speed. Its a very handy mode if you are somewhere you can legally use it. I have ramp on my ion and rarely use it mostly I use semi. There are some tournaments that do allow ramping though.

not to say that your wrong, but on some guns, instead of 15, it goes to the max the gun can shoot.

Also "walk" means to hit your triger with your index and middle fingers as if you were drumming your fingers on the trigger. (Just in case you haven't heard the expression before)

That is only if the board is capped at a higher rate of fire than 15bps or it is uncapped. But the usual toruny limit is 15bps.

And just to clarify, ramping is the addition of shots (electronically via software or code) so that you increase your rate of fire with a set number of pulls. In other words if you pull the trigger 3 times per second and maintain that rate you'll shoot 15 balls per second.

Bounce is what occurs when your board detects the activation of the switch. Markers with electronic switches can be configured so the reverberation of the marker causes the switch to activate (often on the pull and release of the trigger), causing extra shots to fire.

Ramping, unlike bounce, is controlled from the circuit board. If you lay off the trigger the balls will stop. With bounce, the very act of firing causes kick in the marker which in turn fires another shot which in turn fires another, etc. Usually trigger, switch and board settings can be changed to correct bounce.

Ramping is not allowed at most fields though..... No tournaments that I have been to allow ramping either.....

[Prep Has Fallen]

http://championpaintball.com/tournaments.html hey Nex Gen- that tourney allows it up to 15 bps, which is dumb in my opinion, its under rules and general info
okay bye

who thinks ramping is cheap?

[sniper21]

dont start another ramping war here. if its allowed ramping is not cheating , if not allowed it really sucks. but because all pros prbably cheat alot and use ramping on their guns. it really comes down to opinion and no one can change that.

who thinks ramping is cheap?

wasup?
too many people use it in the tourny i enter, and it's not allowed.
plus.....see my sig

[palidon11]

well, if its not allowed in a tourney and theyre using it anyway, rat em out. i wouldnt be happy about that.

Yea its usually either extremely experienced and older players or newbs with guns that cant ramp that dont like it. Alot of the older players are extremely good though and dont need anything but their finger speed or less to win. The majority of older players started out with high end guns being mechanical autocockers so they are use to slower guns. Unfortunately most newbs with guns like spyders that cant ramp view it as "dangerous" and "taking away from skill". Trust me, once you get good and into high-end guns you wont even need ramping. Nowadays you can hit around 15 easy in semi with these highend guns. The triggers are extremely comfortable and easy to work with. Also, most tournament series only allow ramping up to 15 bps, which isnt fast at all. Often times there are people who can do that much or more in semi.

ow that hurt

[Nex_Gen]

I have an ebladed autococker and can pull my trigger faster than 15 bps, so ramp and waste your paint........ I will still kill you
