How fast can you shoot your mech mag?

[Mrmacdude]

I can get 8 bps on mine. Some people clame 12+, i just want to know what you guys can do, and who i can call bull**** on.

More than 8 seems rare, and 10+ seems downright outlandish.

Relevant specs:
X-valve
Y-grip
ULT


If anyone has sound/audio analyzed, wthat would be cool too.

Do i have slow fingers?

thats about right if you are not bouncing. its its tourny leagal i would say thats about right. thats why i went to an electric gun

i have held 12 over one of those expensive chronos walking my rt pro... with two spikes up to 14... obviously i didn't send a string of 14 out that fast. but it seemed that i could hold it pretty steady at about 9 or 10 and if i really get into a rythym i can get er up to 11-12. of course... this is what the chrono is telling me... so take those numbers how you want. and of course the one time i have a camera by a chrono... its one that doesn't count bps... grrrr.

i want to see his hand to see if it is bouncing or not. you cant tell if it is or not. i can put my 3rnd burst on my imp with ECS and say no bounce then shoot it and it wont bounce but it would not be allowed in a tourny. the trigger weight on a mag is over 1 pound so it will be very hard to twitch it that fast

i shoot like zak dose in that video and i can asure you its not bounce, buy you do have to fine tune your input pressure to get a nice crisp trigger return, when you do achive this theres actually very little effort involved in shooting the gun fast if you use that style. and you can still do single shots without the trigger bouncing back at ya

[VFX_Fenix]

Does the accusation of having a hyperframe or bouncing answer your question? I get that alot when I use my A-5 or my Mag... but then I've also been told that I have some pretty quick fingers

[p8ntball72]

another?

would the Z-man lie?
i think not..

[Steelrat]

Z-man isnt bouncing in that video. He almost fans the trigger, but its more like a seizure. Its an awesome thing to see, but obviously it wears him out pretty fast.

i have a z grip !!!! (not for sale) and i can get it 9-10 bps, have gotten it up to 14 on crono, but that was max. the z grip really gives you a lot more room to move your fingers and makes your arm more flexible. oh yeah and it might help that i have strong fingers (thanks to the piano and the game mercy) and that i have a retro valve. o well, that's my input.

Don't really know... But if I do a sorta walking motion really quick I can get about 4, maybe 5 shots off fairly quickly. The rest of the time I'd say it's not terribly fast.
