Explain shot buffering to me...

[Miscue]

That kinda makes sense for the emag line since the solenoid caps them at around 20 bps. Some people claim to be able to pull the trigger faster then that and for the sake of an argument I'll pretend to believe them. But what about guns like the viking were we've seen videos of them going at 30 cps. It seems to me that a gun like that would not need shot buffering. It sounds something like the debounce setting on guns. Something that sounds honest in theory but actually makes it easier for manufactures to cheat.

Well, cps is cheating to some degree - you're not putting a load on the marker. It's like lifting a car off its wheels, watching how fast the tires spin, and expecting this to reveal something about the car's performance.

Yeah, somewhere just over 20bps is about as fast as the solenoid plunger can move back and forth in a full stroke. This requires higher input pressure as well to kick it back harder. I keep it at 20bps, and it's stupid fast... it actually shoots 20bps. A lot of markers that display 24bps or so... are actually hitting 17-18 roughly.
