: Agreed, limiting the gun is stupid. For a very steep pricetag the IR3 is not much different than any other gun out there with one of its selling features deactivated. Yes it can still fire ridiculously fast with its light trigger and quick recycle time but I was very much looking forward to playing around with the firing modes. Surely there is a way to fix this "bug" in the IR3. I wonder what those dip switches do.... : : : Does anyone else find it frustrating that WDP, the most expensive stock marker, chooses how a player may play? : : When i purchased my original angel, a 1st generation dark angel, the boards they shipped with were only capable of firing semi, but they shipped me a 2nd board which was only capable of firing full auto. Limited choices, but still choices. Now that the computer boards have advanced in the IR3's more firing options are possible and have been marketed, but ALL of these new firing options have been restricted. When i contacted WDP they said that they were acting in compliance with the ASTM committee. The what committee??? : : It seems that almost every other electronic marker now being produced offers some choice in firing modes. Even an electronic spyder or tippmann offers multiple firing modes! : : Yes, i am well aware that most fields restrict play to semi auto only and that all of the major tournaments are restricted to semi only; however, if i want to shoot full auto in my backyard or garage then i should be able to if the marker is able. It seems that WDP is bowing down to political pressure from some group i've never heard of nor care about. If the ASTM is sooooo powerful and influential then why aren't the major manufactures such as tippmann and kingman complying with these restrictions as well? I don't have precise numbers, but every weekend i always see a ton more spyders and tippmann's then anything else. : : What is most frustrating to me, is that one of the many reasons i bought the new angel was because of its multiple firing mode capability. When it was stated that firing modes were restricted, i knew that in the U.K. they are under very tight gun control of all sorts and that any full auto marker was not allowed, but now these restrictions are crossing the atlantic! And to make matters worse the manufactures who seem to be most on this band wagon are those which can't produce a reliable full auto electronic version! Why then would WDP take a step back from being the premiere manufacture and comply with an organization which is composed of self interested (i.e. non-capable full auto electronic) manufactures? : : I never thought i would say it, but kingman,the bushy's, timmy's, and tippman's now have an edge up over the angel. Maybe if Tom Kaye's e-mag extreme wasn't such a blender/blunder on just semi, the votes might have gone the other way.
