Firing Rates concerning - Nexus Eblade - Info Thread

[H.J.Bif - Nexus Eclipse]

e Blade

Just to clarify what benfrain said, you've talked a lot about bps and what rate of fire the boards can do.
now if you've got a marker that can shoot 40 bps, but a hopper that can only feed at 20-25, then this is gonna be your max bps.

now problems occour when the marker is outshooting the hopper and so can open itself up to potential ball chopping. the good thing i've found with the e blade cocker, i've only got a pro series so far, is that with the lower pressure that it works at, and combined with the eye, it will virtually never chop, even with the eye off i've had a ball jam between the bolt and feed and not been sliced due to the lower pressure, where'as other markers will slice the ball and jam the bolt

As for worrying about the rate of fire on an Nexus eblade, don't worry about their max rate of fire, if you can find someone who can physically outshoot it in semi, then that guy (or gal) could make a fortune with fingers that fast.

Hi there H, I wasnt worried about what the max ROF of the boards was, it was if the markercould physically complete that number of cycles per second or not. Cheers for the info

You can pretty much name any marker and the only thing limiting the actual out the barrel ROF is the hopper. Pretty much the only thing that counts after that is how easy it is to shoot that quickly, thats when eye system and 'number of trigger checks in a second' come into play.
WAS boards(timmies,AKA,impulse etc) for example, no rof cap limited only by the hopper speed, trigger checked a million times a second.
Matrix boards 66 times a second (I think) again, extremely easy to rip on.
Eblade boards, I haven't got a clue if the rof is limited, having seen some in action I think not, again the only thing that slows it down is the hopper.
In regard to the cocker only being able to manage 'x' cycles a second by nature of it's operation, I'd have to say if there were such limitiations they certainly don't exist in the Eblade I saw a few weekends ago.

im sure some of us have seen the Osiris, that was videoed doing 45bps

i guess i mean cycles as it was using a normal VL200, not chopping

 

[Skeet]

A what? is that that cocker replica thing?

 

[L J]

not sure, it looked like a cocker to me when i saw the vid, altho that was 6 months ago

AFAIK the replicas, are the ANS Gx things, and the X enterprise jobbies
