I think the old tapping a pen between your fingers is a good one, but really after like 7 or 8 bps coming at me, I can't tell the difference. But if I can hear that it's WAY faster, I know (s)he is going to have to pot up sooner ...
The only time High ROF comes into play is off the break when you're laning and even then it's arguable how much of a difference it really makes. Especially if it throws off your aim. You could shoot 100 bps at me but if you're shooting the next field over, I'm going to make my primary 100% of the time (well not 100% I seem to find my way on to teams where the back players shoot out our front players more than the other teams, but that's another story)
Conversely, some of the best people at laning I know are *good* stock players shooting all of 2 bps on a good day. You really just need to put one ball where the guy is gonna be and have it meet him there.
It's a lot easier to aim when you're not beating the hell out of the trigger. Now that's not to say that with practice you can't shoot 2100 bps on target with a whole other team shooting at you. But you need to work up to that.
I feel that accuracy drills should take precedence over ROF drills. But since you can't really shoot your gun in the house or while at the office. Those are good times to work on finger speed.
*summary - Since this turned into a novella*
-You can put someone in with one or to shots just as well as 20
-It only takes one paintball to send someone to the dead box (well, in theory)
-Shooting slow is cheaper
-I feel that Texas is a pretty lame State. New Mexico too. And really all of the south. Parts of Florida and Louisiana are nice though. I'm sure there are other exceptions as well.
-What was I saying?
