halo b to the rescue!!

If you are travelling at 7mph for 30mins you cover 3.5 miles right?

So your ROF is 7, your BPS is 3.5, it's kinda the difference between actual and theoretical.

But it is semantics and different peeps use them to mean different things.

as for the other bit - Gee helped

Ok the way I am reading this is that, say he is shooting a steady string of paint at a bunker at an average of 8-9bps. He then sees a guy running from the other side of the field so he suddnely speeds his shooting an extra 5bp from the shock of seeing this guy running and he wants to shoot him. So if he had only set his marker to 9bps like his average, in the same situation he would not have been able to fire those extra few balls coz his gun marker wouldn't let him. So by leaving that gap between hi average and max bps, he is leaving himself the chance to rack off the extra few balls in the same string if needed.

Its the same as I do. I am not that quick at shooting all the time however I do sometimes manage to increase how fast I pull if I need to when I see something like a guy runing (ah adrenalin...don't ya just love it). So although I may shoot less than my 13bps limit I can stiil get up that high when I need it.

This may have been what you guys were saying but I thought I would put it in lamens terms for anyone else who might have got confused (like me) as to what you were saying. Either that or I am completely wrong.

Basically with a marker set at 20bps its easier to actually hit 14 bps then one set at 15bps.

I personally think that he should get a eVLution2 like me!!

heh, heh...I just know that with my gun limit at least 5 bps faster than my "finger" limit "When my finger starts talkin', people start walkin'"

Oh, and if I'm in low cover near or past the 50 I rarely get to shoot more than 5 balls (it used to be 3 balls but my GZ rocks! ). If I try to shoot a longer string, my finger actually slows down

I never really thought about the time slicing vs Just-in-time (or realtime) checking of the system for trigger activation. So I guess that while checking a trigger a million times a second (WAS board) might seem to be overkill by many it apparently works better than checking the trigger 66 times a second...so that the system can fire a ball as soon as the bolt clears the eye. Yes I know that the 66 times a second uses the timeslice but you get my original point...having some "headspace" by having a higher theoretical limit or checking at a rate faster than would seem to be needed gives you a better realworld performance.

Oh, well, time to turn on the TV and go back to watching cartoons...

what would you say the mechanical rof is on most markers?
For example how fast can the gun cycle, in a second.....

Well I know timmy mechanical is 35 cps.

Basically the solenoid and the time it takes for the bolt to go forward then back (ie. the speed of the ram and the distance it must cover) have the majority of the impact on cps in an open bolt electro.
