What are the differences between boards?

[spesnirvana]

HI,

What are the differences between upgrade boards for the '04 speed, for example, predator, fly, euro, and such...? and what are census on which one is more adequate and more reliable?

Also what does these terms mean: (talking about the marker) ramping, debounce, (when talking about the field) going down the tapline, the 50?

Thanks for all your help!

Tag will give you info on the pred FMA will give you the info on the others.
Ramping is when you get to a certain BPS it takes it up to say 15 or what you set it at

now im not familiar with the pred board at all, however i can tell you that the FLY and EURO boards are basically the same as the 03/04 SPEED, and the A4 boards. basically the euro board is the same as the speed board but it uses eyes instead of sensi. if you want a no frills board that when you turn it on is ready to kill some faces then you want the EURO board, however if you want a safety, and a timer, and different modes, and .... then you want the FLY board.
the euro board will run you $100 less and the FLY will get you more frills, and both perform AMAZINGLY.

ramping... ramping is when the gun adds shots based on a set BPS mark. in other words, a ramping gun will start to shoot faster than your pulling the trigger when you reach a certain bps, so if the gun is set to start ramping at 10bps, when you reach 10 bps it will start to shoot 20bps (or whatever it is set to ramp to) for example.

debounce... debounce is a setting on an angel board (A4 and later) that is designed to eliminate the chance of your gun bouncing due to electronic "switch bounce" i believe.

going down the tape line... the tape line is the outer edge of the paintball field, so the extreme sides of the field are the tapeline (if you cross the tapeline your out of bounds) so to go down the tape line means to travel forward on the field at the outward most side between the outward most bunker, and the out of bounds line.

the 50... the 50 is the centrally located bunker on the field. called the 50 in reference to the 50 yard line. and the central bunker on the 50 is usually just refered to as "the 50" the bunkers at the edge of the field next to "the 50" might be called "left 50" or "right 50" or somthing similar.
