BPS challenge have a vid

[yakitori]

I have a video that I took of my shooting my Ion and I need help analyzing and hosting the vid. Anyone care to help.

Since Lohman and Beemer said that its VERY rare for anyone to shoot and maintain 15bps for 5 seconds, I tried it.

This was in SEMI mode on my Ion.

I counted out 100 balls of scortch from a 200 rd container. I know that it takes a second or so to get the rythym going, but that is why I took 100 balls. I calculated that 15bps for 5 seconds is 15 x 5 = 75 balls. So I used 100 to make sure that I could account for any bad rythym at first. Some please analyze the sound clip for me from the time I actually start getting good rythym and for 5 seconds. Then take my average balls per second, and let ups know what it is.

I watched the video and counted like 3-4 balls at first that were out of rythym, then subtracted that from 100. I had only one ball left in the halo when I was done that didnt get fed. So that is maybe like 95 balls I actually shot in good rythym. From the media player I counted the seconds from when I started getting going good which was around 19 sec. into the vid, and then the time when all the shots were gone which was around 25 seconds. So that was 6 seconds of shooting and at 95 balls total. So 95/6 = 15.8 bps.

I know its not as accurate as a sound analyzer program. So will someone help.

I have the video on my computer, but I need help hosting. Anyone care to help me earn about 120 bucks from these three users.

bound for glory - 50
beemer - 50
lohman - 20



I expect to see graphs and calculations too.

If they pay up, I will compensate the person who helps w/ the vid.

Thanks

oh, and one condition. The ppl that said I cant do it cannot help to earn your money back.

After all you are all adults, you work, you have money.

*hrm*

You may want to shoot Blennindae, Z-man, or someone I'm obviously forgetting a PM. I know Blenn and Z have both done soundwave stuff before.

As for "the 15bps bet"; there were some implied conditions that I'm not sure if you've met.

We shall see.

what are the "implied" conditions. I said that I could shoot an avg of 15bps or more for a period of 5 seconds. Are the implied rules that every second I must be over 15 bps? Cause there are a couple of skipped shots, but for the most part it is a decent rythym. The condition was that I couldnt shoot 15bps over a 5 second period, and I think I may have done it. I have tried to upload to putfile.com, but I recieved an error msg like cannot find server.


I will try again. I have dialup so this is taking longer than I expected. As for walking 15bps, I dont think I can do that. I think Im more around 12bps w/ spikes to 14 or so.

Cant wait to get the vid up though. It is a little shaky at first cause Im shooting on my own, and I didnt have anyone to take it for me.

Anyone willing to help w/ the file?

[hitech]

Getting the file to someone is going to be difficult. If you figure out how to get it to me(email, pm attachment, ???), I'll "host" it and link it to this thread.

i got my 50 right here, lightweight

It is obviously more possible with five seconds than 8, or ten seconds. And I do reiterate that I did acknowledge that a few people, VERY few, would be able to do it. We went from an initial challenge of eight seconds to five. The challenge I issued was sustain it for 5 seconds, that is not average out to. That being said, if you averaged 15BPS for a full five seconds to the rest of the terms I'll still give it to you. That being said, I do not expect Beemer or Bound for Glory to be obligated to it, the terms were very clearly sustained not averaged.

If you in fact did it, and met the terms, then I'm going to need your paypal. I do expect you to acknowledge somewhere that it is not something that everyone who claims they do it, do. I do not have the ability to analyze it myself, I will try if you want to send me the video to [email protected].

This was not the entire 15BPS bet as has been done elsewhere - the one that has so far proven impossible. What I asked for is possible, for a very select few people I imagine. You would have to look up the original post to make sure this is what I said, but if I recall it was something like:
1) I required to be able to see the trigger pulls and attribute them to a shot fired. (basically a verification that it was not rebound mode or enhaced, or bounce).
2) I required it be sustained 15+ BPS for 5 seconds. Now there is some question of sustained or averaged - the terms were sustained, but for Yak here I will honor averaged.
3) That it be with paint.

oh, come on, lohman! we both know yak IS NOT going to hit 15. and when did it drop to 5 secs.? but in the very unlikly event yak does hit 15, not only will he get $50us from me, i'll also laser ingrave his name on my devilmag and i'll give him a great big wet kiss boy, the length people will go to make idiots of themselves...

Sweet. I don't know if I should start hollering "Someones got a plate full of crow sandwich coming up" or pull up a plate myself.

And for what its worth, my understanding of the conditions from the earlier bet were

1. NPPL robot legal trigger settings
2. No enhanced rate of fire settings
3. paint
4. I had thought it was 10 secs. But whatever the time, it was >15 bps sustained. As in; at no point during the sequence does the gap between shots drop below 15 bps.

I emailed the file to you lohman at your AOL addy. I hope it works. It didnt seem to take as long as I though to send it, so Im not sure if everything went through good. Let me know.

Paging Leatherpant....
Leatherpants to thread 4.

I recall LP being the generally accepted fastest fingers on AO.

I made the bet simpler... for various reasons. 1) I can't test it on the NPPL robot 2) I required to see trigger pulls, to avoild enhanced 3) I required paint 4) I dropped it to five because Yak told me how "easy" it was to do for 5-8 seconds on the break 5) I did require it to be sustained, but as I have said, if he averaged it on this video (and this is your one chance for the average) then I'll still pay it.

I can sustain 15bps for what I need it for. You can sustain it for about 5-8 seconds on a break? If not you need to practice and youve used ramping too long.

When I challenged him to an 8 second video he waffled it down to five, so I challenged him to a 5 second video instead. He MAY have done it... I doubt it but I admit he may have to some degree. I doubt he sustained it

This thread is fun to watch, because it is the stereotypical "Yo, I can walk my My DMfizzle 20 bps no problem" funny/sad thing is that some people really think they can..usually it comes close to 10-12.


For those interested, this discussion started here: http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...2&page=1&pp=30

THere has been a fair amount of back-peddaling going on from Yak. He went from being able to hit 15 bps for "as long as he needed to" off the break or 5-8 seconds, to "well over" 15 while using the illusive "raking technique", then being able to sustain 15 for 5-8 seconds, but "more like 5", and now it's hitting 15bps on an average within 5 seconds.

Can he do it?! Some claim it to be impossible, but not me!

I say: Go get em' Yak! don't let them tell you what you can or can't do, you can do it!

I did not get any e-mail to AOL yak... I have all SPAM guards turned off to

[SCpoloRicker]

Just to be fair abunkerer I'm pretty sure that others have had a standing wager on the whole 15 bps thing.

yakitori is just the latest and greatest. Hopefully we'll get a soundwave done and we can be done with this.
