WDP der bekannte Hersteller von Markierern, Luftsystemen und Bekleidung aus UK hat heute eine Pressemitteilung zum Thema PSP Mode und damit Ramping in der Millennium Series veröffentlicht. Man sollte erwähnen das WDP einen großen Teil von Pure Promotions und daher einem Teil der NPPL ausmacht. In der NPPL gab es Anfang des Jahres Gerüchte dass Ramping eingeführt werden soll, warum dies nicht geschehen ist kann man aus dieser Pressemitteilung herausinterpretieren.Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the allowance of the PSP ramping mode at Millennium events WDP feels that there is a need to clarify its position with regard to the use of our Angel Paintball Markers at forthcoming Millennium events, which is as follows.WDP does not recommend the use of the PSP ramping mode at Millennium events and especially so under the current circumstances and instead recommends that you use your Angel markers in True Semi Mode only, capped at 15BPS. We are taking this stance due to the fact that we believe the use of ramping modes in a Millennium tournament environment may lead to an increased likelihood of injuries and without written authorisation from the Millennium organisers to use such modes we feel that it is unclear who will shoulder the responsibility for any such injuries.First and foremost WDP takes its responsibilities as a manufacturer of safe Paintball markers very seriously and does not wish to encourage the use of a mode that may lead to injuries. Secondly, due to the lack of clarity from the Millennium organisation on this issue it is also unclear who would be held responsible for any injury resulting from the use of the PSP mode at Millennium events. WDP is not prepared to accept this risk and strongly advises that its customers adopt the same position.As we all know being involved in an incident which resulted in a serious injury would be bad enough; however being involved in such an incident without the certainty of knowing who would be held responsible would further serve to compound the situation for all parties concerned.In addition to this any player caught using a gun in a ramping mode could also be banned from the event under the existing printed Millennium rules. Please think very carefully before placing yourselves in such a position.“For further information and software upgrades that enable you to cap your rate of fire to 15BPS (with eye on) please visit the WDP tech booth in Amsterdam.
