QFT - and unless you are looking at playing backyard ball - then you'll never need more than 15bps - and you'll only get that with 'assistance'.

And remember - it only takes one shot to eliminate someone ;).

Yes, but the other 99 frighten the crap out of him

I've been looking through some threads (and classifieds) and have to smile when you see all the comments about "my XXXX does 25 bps" or "my YYYYY does 30 bps"

one question - How can you really tell ??

How many people have loaded an exact number of balls into a hopper and timed how long it take to shoot them all?
what they do is film there selves shooting the gat, use a program called goldwave, slow down the recording to a countable rate, isolate a small period of time, and count how many shots fired. then divide by how many seconds isolated.

have done this myself, but really pointless when u r capped to 15 aint it

The way that I used to test BPS, was to record the sound made duringa string of shots...then, slow it down on teh PC
...then count teh shots over teh set period of time...I would then take teh fastest portion (not usually only 2 or 3 shots) to get a fastest BPS and also an average over the full sample.

I have files of an RT mag doing 18BPS...

As far away from you as possible
Well on thos eprofessional chrono's they do take the average over a sustained rate of fire, I know of a video of a Ignition Borg doing 27 bps, and an x-mag doing 26bps.
P.S. so long as it goes 15.4 bps does it really matter?
