The BPS meter on an Angel is flawed... It only measures the time between the two shots that are closest together. It then divides a second by that time and gives you a reading. It is a little inflated.

Funny... the definition of frequency is number of events divided by time. The meter isn't flawed, it's actually correct if that's how it measures BPS. BPS is an instantanious measurement, much like MPH, or Hz.

Realisticly, I put BPS measurements to an average over a duration of time. or an average over a number of shots.

When we timed me, we put 80 balls in the hopper and had me fire my heart out. I averaged 8.5bps for 80 balls. I was shooting less than 7bps for most of that string.

I wish I had more accurate timing equipment than just a stopwatch. For the first 10 balls or so i was well above 10bps.

Hey guys, I appreciate all the votes and comments made. I feel, however, that this thread is turning into a "How fast can you fire" thread with people making too high of claims and others then flaming/refuting them. I appreciate everyone's willingness to vote, but staying more on my initial topic/question would be great. I was mainly looking for answers to decide whether a retro valve would be needed for me and my newbie trigger finger (6bps MAX). I've learned the AIR valve is quite capable of keeping up with 6bps, and so I've decided that a retro valve just isn't for me right now. I will play with my mag a lot before deciding a retro is truly what I need. Feel free to continue posting anything about the AIR valve's performance though.

Thanks guys, you rock!

You might considder possting in deep blue. I haven't seen anything hard on the recharge rate of the unireg type regs.

I have a sound clip of me shooting 13bps, I know I can do more than that tho :), I'm gonna record some more Saturday :)

ENDO!

[pumpamatic]

Yeah, I've heard a sound clip of MajorDamage pulling at least 12. It was pretty dang fast, that's all I know. But I think he did this on an Emag.

[pip_999]

yeah

me and damage had a little discusion bout tha tearlier

how he editied it
LOL jk

[nuggy43]

im not exactly 15 bps put it was pretty dang fast. And who ever says u can only get like 7-8 bps must not now how to shoot a mag. i can easily get 13 or more bbs and all i have is a stock air valve. I'll have to time my self or record it for u non belivers.

[pip_999]

lol

by all means go ahead
dude major damage only got 12 on his EMAG
you can not get 13 on a standard mini
sorry man

[pip_999]

especially

especially witha benchy
those things are long pull

sorry man

[nuggy43]

the benchy isnt that long if u now how to work it. Thier is a lot of play in the trigger though.

quote this article by bill mills:
"In a police training facility in a warehouse north of Chicago I saw something amazing. It was early winter 1999 when I had the opportunity to test fire a prototype Centerflag Hyperframe. Dennis Ashley from Centerflag products had the frame installed on a powerfeed Automag that was connected to a prototype 2XS loader system (the loader is expected to be released late 2001 from a different company). We fired the 'mag fully automatic at 22, yes, that's 22 shots per second. That level of firepower is truly jaw-dropping"
