what's an accurate way of measure how fast you shoot? i've seen everything from people timingg them selves for a couple seconds shooting as fast as they can and counting the shots, seen it done over chrony's (any 1 know were to find 1????) kinda like the 1 in the automag video, i've also seen people do it via cound recordings.

most people get a sound analyzer (you can probably find a decent one for your uses at download.com), shoot it as fast as they can while recording it, and take 1 second of the fastest firing, and count the spikes of sound in the visual map-out of the second

actually, they are one of the least accurate ways, because they only measure the ROF of two shots. even if you only shoot short bursts, this isnt enough to make an accurate measurement.

the sound analyser is the way to go
