How much shoot-up does your rt/retro have?

[Sinnet]

now, I have heard from butterfingers and others that a properly tuned and set up RT should not have much more than 10 fps shootup... I have also heard from several people that theirs is closer to 40-50 fps.

what's yours?

[blnk162]

do you mean shoot down?

[magman007]

no... shoot up... the rt doesnt experience shoot down until you reach over 26bps

[paint magnet]

Wouldn't that mean that balls would be going over 300 fps after a long string? So do you have to chrono lower or what?

I am sure there are more threads on AO about it, but those should help.

As for this:

This is not what you are suppose to do, sorry. The actual crono procedures for the RT are here:

I actually have tested this, to an extent.

Just walking up to the chrono and popping off one shot, waiting for a bit, popping off another, my results were...

274, 273, 274, 272

Using the proper chronoing procedure, mine simply went to 282, 282, 282, 283.

I tested this right after I put in my old superbolt I. I don't have the new LX yet, so I don't know what it'll do with that.

Not much shoot up, and it's not noticeable in a game type setting.

Good job! Thanks for posting DATA :) I've seen the same with my Retro and Emag. I personally don'y care for it - but it's the nature of the beast, and I guess it's a lot better then shoot-down
