Whats the limit on BPS

[tony3]

Eventually we'll get to a point were the hoppers are pushing the balls in so hard they break um, I can't wait to see what the next insane gun is, that you can hit 20+ bps easily

y should there be a limit. if you can do it more power to you.

on a true semi mode I have heard stories of 18bps. But no more than that. I can hit 16bps at a push but would never try it in a game as I would prefer to go a little slower and actually try to hit the guy rather than scare him with some noise

With the 3.0 software I can hit whatever I set the x-mag on without even really trying that hard. Its fantastic!!

I think with Doc's center pivot trigger (http://www.docsmachine.com/galleries/rockingtrigger.jpg) 25-30 would be fairly easy actually. I bet the internals of some markers could do 50+ with tons of shoot down, but no one will ever shoot that fast.

exactly if u can push out 50 bps on semi then u should be able to shoot that fast in a tourny, its not unfair because each time he pushs in the trigger it shoots 1 ball. each time someone else wiht a slower bps pulls teh trigger it shoots 1 ball. is this unfair maybe due to teh fact taht its 50 bps but then again its not because ur both shooting the exact same way.

The question was more like "what do you think is the highest ROF people will ever reach?"

No one in this thread has seriously suggested that an "official" limit be imposed. Most people realize that it will almost certainly never happen. When the eventual ROF limit is reached, it will be because of physical constraints such as valve cycling, trigger activation, and the hopper feed system.

For example, the practical ROF limit on a single-barreled machinegun seems to be about 1200 rds/minute (20/sec). At that rate, the barrels overheat quickly, and have to be frequently changed. Higher ROF has been reached by using multi-barrel weapons to allow cooling time between firing each barrel.

theoretically speaking if there werent any limitations from the gun stand point on current firing methods i could see around 18 bps sustained at the most.

is fanning/raking(same right?) legal?

[Bolter]

fanning or raking is a way to pull the trigger rather than a gun mod.

i think he is asking if it is a leagal method of pulling the trigger. i have never been pulled for it. i have my emagnum board capped at 22bps and its a scary thing to have it set on full auto (why i never do). with out a roller trigger, i have shot 18 across a crono running my finger up and down a stock emag trigger. so 18 is not unatainable.
