How fast is my rt pro shooting when its on "run-away"?

[Deadpool3]

When i make my pro really reactive where it bounces off my finger going into full auto (just shooting air , without any balls), how fast is it shooting (bps)?

[BlackVCG]

No idea. All depends on your input pressure and a few other factors. If you want to know how fast you're really shooting, record your gun shooting FA for a few seconds, then look at the sound clip over a one second interval and count the peaks. Each peak is one shot.

[Deadpool3]

with the settings right, should it be able to reach 26bps?

[Load SM5]

Not with a human finger. No one is capable of firing that fast.

[Deadpool3]

well if its really reactive and going full auto, you finger isnt doing any of the work.

[DarkPhoenix]

Without a feed system force feeding paintballs in at that rate, the gun will be unable to fire at that speed, creating what some would call a "paint blender". The valve can cycle at that speed.

[Deadpool3]

I understand all that... let me ask this again. Say i have a halo with some kind of mod that lets it consistently feed at 26bps. If i have my pro set right, will it fire balls at 26bps?

[DarkPhoenix]

Theoretically, it is possible. However there are other factors which effect this.

[ShinyGuy]

Wasn't the 26 bps test AGD did dry firing? If it was than the cycle speed would be slightly slower due to the mass of the ball and the friction of pushing the ball into the barrel.

Suffice to say, IF you can feed paint fast enough to not turn it into a blender you're going to be shooting far faster than anyone ever really needs to

[Deadpool3]

I dont like how you say theoretically What are the other factors?

I know the tests were done with a computer pulling the trigger, but does that mean it wont get up to 26 if its shooting full auto with a person holding the trigger?

[Hexis]

IIRC, the 26bps was not dry. Using air fed balls (so faster than anything practical) and a computer controled trigger 76 balls were shot in 3 seconds, without a break.

[AkaEnder]

Theoretically, it is possible - in a LAB setting. On the field, you'll be lucky to fire 14-16bps with balls for more than a few seconds before chopping.
26bps in actual play - I would wager never. 16-18bps, sure.

[Deadpool3]

ok, so that means that with my gun, i can sit here in my house, set my reactivness and make it shoot 26 without any balls correct?

[BlackVCG]

Why is this so important to you? The gun is capable of firing that fast, but nothing can feed paint that fast. If it will give you a warm fuzzy feeling that you can sit in your room and get the thing to "run-away" and start shooting around 20sps, then yes it is possible with a really high input pressure. But your finger will never keep the same pressure on the trigger, so you'll lose that bounce and only get off a short string. The statistic of the valve being able to shoot 26sps without drop off is just noted so you'll be assured that you'll never have drop off when you're shooting paint at high rates of fire.

[Temo Vryce]

the possiblity is there but I doubt that you will be able to do it. AGD did that with a custom mag with tweaked internals. You might be able to get upwards of 16 bps but I can't see you getting 26, but you may never know.
