The Angel Speed is technically capable of firing faster than 30 times per second, however the mechanism would not perform a complete cycle at a faster rate. Whilst we can't actually pull the trigger that fast, WDP have advertised - unlike some other manufacturers - the true maximum rate of fire given an adequate feeder, ie. 30 triggers pulls in a second resulting in 30 balls out of the barrel. As a note, to achieve this rate of fire, WDP had to feed balls from a tube that was something like 10' tall - I can't recall the exact height, but it was that sort of scale.
