BPS "Showdown" - PRIZES

[Lohman446]

I will settle for the selector switch being in E-mode and the trigger rod not making contact with the trigger while in e-mode, or making minimal contact. I think that is fair.

[yakitori]

the fairest way is to make them remove the trigger rod altogether. It takes about 2 minutes to do. That way the gun can ONLY be used in E mode.

jenarelJAM Thanks for the feedback, i have a feeling that the 22 bps is somewhat incorrect though, because the software is limited at 20. when i take it with paint, i will be taking it outside and shooting into a couple of hanging beach towels(to dampen echo) and it will be louder because it will actually be firing.

I got the same number as rx2 looked like 22 bps to me

Can't wait to see your vid with paint

[Blazestorm]

lets see your vid. .

Im looking forward to seeing that 17-18bps for 8 seconds.

Just waiting on my new empire-b this weekend... I should be able to get a video on saturday...

Watch at like 1:04 (I'm in the green) you can hear me shoot a quick burst at 16-17

couldnt really hear you shoot much, but, nice vid, looks like it was a fun tourney.

Here is a screen shot of the jenarelJAM waveform



There are actually more than 22 peaks present, but a few are of dubious quality. This is exactly one second of audio, and it was take from the streaming video (the downloadable one was blocked due to bandwidth restrictions).

There are a few possibilities as to why the number may be higher than the theoretical firmware limit of 20. One is that the video is actually streaming slightly faster than it should be. Another is that in the process of encoding, there was a rate conversion that led to the video playing back at a higher speed. A third possibility is that there is just SO much echo at such a high volume that it is creating phantom shots, so to speak. Finally, I suppose it is possible that the 20 shot per second limit may be inaccurate.

Anyhow, I will be interested in seeing what you do with paint, and with less echo. Provided that there wasn't an error with the video, you should do quite well.

Looking at the peak of the wave forms I am guessing you are actually seeing 11 shots there. I think you're "seeing" spikes both from the burst of air and the bolt slamming against the front of the breech (that metal ring) - hence the "clank" noise of shooting a mag. I could be wrong, but I think we are seeing double counted shots because of the lack of paint

Does my video count?
It was after a touney and I forgot about the shaking and seeing the emag in e. It was in e with no bounce at all. As I said it was after a tounery

There's no way that was only 11. I'd say it was 19+. That was incredibly fast...

MonsterMag - if you want, I can throw a screen shot of yours as well. I wasn't sure you wanted that to be your official submission, though, since you were probably a little tired from shooting all day.

As for the peaks in that waveform, I am pretty sure that they aren't from the bolt. I ran a quick test with my mag, and the waveform produced had singular peaks. Also, since the peaks are roughly just over .045 seconds apart, it suggests something else, since the mag completes at least half of a cycle (from the end of the shot to the reset of the bolt) faster than that. Actually, does anyone have the actual data as to the cycle time of a mag?

I was also thinking that another problem with the echo theory is that, at that delay, the nearest wall would have to be around 7.5 meters away, and it would have to return enough energy to have the resultant echo be around the same intensity as the initial shot, which is rare in a bedroom. Since the waveform is so uniform, it really does seem like echo isn't what is causing the problem.

In any case, since this was just a test, I suppose we shouldn't put too much time into it. Let us see what he does with a better vid, and paint.

[Lohman446]

I'm seeing why RX is a judge and I'm a promotor... I may through out ideas on "flaws" here but I trust them (him and Steel) to validate the videos and disprove my "flaws" as of course is the case here

[MonsterMag]

I think that will have to be my entery because I wont have access to a digital cam. It was a frineds.

[rx2]

Well, over eight seconds of video, you hit 100 rounds, or 12.5 bps. I analyzed three seperate portions of vid at 5 seconds, and all three showed 63 balls fired, or 12.6 bps. So you average 12.6 bps over five seconds. You missed several shots, so it is possible that you could have gotten just under another bps had you hit every shot. Here is the waveform image:

[MonsterMag]

Yeah , I shot about a case of paint that day so I wasnt to fast afterwards. I will try to get another vid.

Dang rx2 you rock

We need more videos so we can get this contest rolling

Please submit videos
