OK lets cut the crap.......... how many players can actualy use a 30bps capability? anyone? a fast marker just makes for greater reliability and the capability to rattle of a string whenever you want it. Anyone able to do 28bps with a legal marker? good work, I respect you for it. But myself, I'm not over worried about taking 30bps......... particularly not when I'm looking cross field at evo II's and halo's that can't keep up with the marker. I've got a Q-loader....... that doesn't worry me either... I can empty it in about five seconds....... scary stuff.......... which just means I'll probably get mugged when I'm reloading. Anyway.....I got 40bps on that mouse game....... I can get 19 out of my timmy (when empty and on bypass)........ funny that I can only get about 12bps on the field then.
30 bps? lovely, but I'll settle for 7 hits a game :)
And as for the E-blade bing slow? it's just personal preference... everyone will back their marker. (particularly if sponsored to use it)...... but I've got no vested interest.... I've got a couple of E-blades(one eclipse,one shoktech) and an ironman timmy......... and I can never decide which to use. All superb, all reliable, all consistent. It's hard to be impartial about something you've spent money on........ I mean, some people actualy claim that the shocker 03 is good!

interesting do we use the 30 bps capabillities of todays top end markers? well yes and no. Alot depends on the type of board and how the trigger is checked. Take the Angel LCD set at 20 bps very easy to hit 13-15 bps now set that marker at 13 bps, what rof will you be able to hit? 13 bps? more likely you'll 'only' get around 8-11 bps.
The above is true because of how the circuit board checks for trigger pulls and how often (max of 20 times per second).
Now take a look at some of the 1mhz boards, the WAS for example with the rof set to 19 bps this rof is still achievable because of the extremely frequent trigger checking....

ps, don't talk to me about 03 shockers.....

Theres nothing wrong with the 03 Shocker.......mine looks great in the kit bag, whilst using the featherlight.(cheers Paul:)

As for the Eblades, these things seem to go round and round, there is also a few A4's now for sale, as WDP released the newer fly version.

New marker.......time to sell the old, and get the new.

As for speed, as its been said, every player and every marker is different. But all are limited by the hopper.

I liked my eblade evo, was the marker I could fire the fastest, but still could only out shoot my x board revi, tried an 03 shocker, and could fire faster, and now can out shoot the egg with the latest board in. And with the viking, got the efficency as well.

So it still comes down to skill? (as long as your marker can keep up) is their any way a player could legitimately up their fire rate just by changing marker? say a player can only manage 10bps.... I'm hearing a lot of comments about certain markers.. wondering if any of it's true.

Again yes and no, I'm busy so I'll just giove you the yes part, give one player a 20 bps lcd and a 30 bps nelson board (no bounce all legal and friendly) viking, he'll fire quicker with the Viking. Simply because the trigger is checked more often on the vik and is more likely to pick up a trigger pull.
Trigger pull timing doesn't need to be so perfect as there's more, how did wdp put it? 'windows of oppurtunity'

Bet then if I remember correctly an eblade is constantly checking for trigger pulls and yet I can still fire quicker on my A4 (31 windows per second) than I can with any of the other markers I have owned or tried (sorry Paul, even including the mighty Viking! :eek: ).

Think most of it is personal preference and an individuals comfort level, although it has to be said, even someone slow on the trigger can usually blast on a Viking.
