wow mister e u are on the money. i didnt know if people would relate to paintball more over then airsoft, being that airsoft is a little more international. in fact i use a Bob Long intimidator although the dm4, 5 are superior markers. kinda kool that someone in here has heard of paintball and even knows a little somehting about it. well i just got online so i havent tried any of those ideas out yet, but that is a good idea on using the pauseus (pause in micros and not milli) i forgot about that command. ill also check out that link that dwayne was kind enough to add. i dont think that it will be a problem if it occurs during a pause command because 1 or 2 extra shots is acceptable. thanks guys for taking the time to read that long post, i had a lot of trouble try to spit it all out. im gonna try the interpt approch first. ill keep ya updated. thanks
