Well you ain't gonna see the cocking block or bolt moving at 45cps on that quality video . . . as it certainly ain't filmed in 45fps quality. It's believeable . . . just . . . my question would be whether the ram can actually activate that quick. I'd probably say not.
As for the VL200 trick. . .i'll pop a VL200 on my Viking or Excalibur (close bolt) and walk the trigger like a loon and I'll wage a large sum of cash that I wouldn't break any paint. Same with an X-Mag.
Interesting claim regard dual LPRs allowing super low pressure . . I personally don't see how that works or why they double regulate since this would restrict air flow rather than assist it?!
In the cocker world super low pressure bolt operation is normally achieved by having honed bore and a very light cocking system. This then balanced by light springs and heavy hammer to reach the required velocity. (Read Freeflow : 35psi)
I'd also put a fair amount of cash on the fact that a ball wouldn't even be able to get into the breech at 45cps let alone fire the thing! As I bet it not achieving a full cycle. . .
I mean if you could set any of the high end markers to 45bps full auto .. . most would make that noise and sounds fast but whether there actually usable I very much doubt it! I know WAS tested the Viking up 40cps and filmed a Timmy at 32cps . . that is a full cycle . . so if something could jam a ball in there it would fire it.
It all come down to the pnuematics . . . and supplying enough air to the valve. Most markers ain't designed with big enough air capacity behind the valve to actually operate at these types of speeds.
Interesting when shooting the 20bps how he didn't just hold the trigger till he ran out .. .. obviously not that confident!!!
So there my 2p
