As djmatt says, the Angel Speed can definately cycle that fast, but can your fingers? Probably not, however 30bps also means that there are 30 windows of oppurtunity per second to get a ball off, meaning you theoretically stand more chance of achieving a high rate of fire than with a marker capped at 20bps.

Having said that, I actually managed to shoot faster on my IR3 (20bps) than I did with the Speed (30bps), but the difference is so marginal, it's probably not worth getting worked up about. Despite peoples claims, there are few people who actually consistenly manage more than 14bps in a game...

I'd like to see something that can feed that fast though.

i do like the Speed, very fast. definately an appropriate name for it.

hehe, I asked myself that question too and I tried it out. I took a drill, and put a straight top on it, not a star form, the other one, and held it against the trigger. Then I let the drill turn :D I dont know exactly how many BPS that was, but it was definately way over 20. I know that cause I saw a video of a full-auto ir3 doing 20bps, and it was definately more :D

it should be pointed out that angels technically can fire at something ridiculous like 150 times a second if they could.... but you'd need fingers that no woman would dare let go of and also a damn fast hopper.....

(i'm sure i read in an interview with J.R. it was summat like that)

LOL!

Seriously though, although the electronics can do that I thought the mechanics meant it could only physically cycle around 60cps??

most likely benfrain.......it's still an obscene amount of balls per second and still fingers that no women would dare let go of....
if i could be bothered i'd look in PGI for the interview but you know what......i can't be :rolleyes:
