What do you need?(bps)

[buzzboy]

Actually how much BPS do YOU as an individual need. Today I was out watching and everybody has all this firepower so they "can compete". Do you really need that much. I found today that with my mag and my friends cocker that I was averaging about 8-10 bps. Not to shabby. I though that it was plenty and I could hold my own with it. More would make me feel uncompfortable. So I ask the question


What do you have? and How much of that do you actually need to hold your own?

pump=1 bps and pwnage.

[stop whining buy a mag]

You weren't doing 8-10 on a mech.

15.3 during tournaments.

1 against n00b kids.

[Dark Frost17]

11-13with my mag on the xball field
1 with a pump.....
5-7 small woods

You weren't doing 8-10 on a mech.

The big red chrono and my friends eyes beg to differ.

I used to have fast guns but I realised I can get the same job done on my mech mag with 7 bps as I used to with 15. I found the way I play all I needis a burst of 7-9 balls at a to keep heads down and my mag delivers I really dont think anything above what a mech can put out is needed but shooting fast is fun so electros are here to stay :)

Pumps about all the time so 1-2 bps and less.

When I get angry I may pick up a semi and maybe in the future when my mag will be back from Coolhand an electro. But I feel bad for some time when I waste that much paint...

i need every ball i can have coming out of my gun. I play back and from one side of the field to the other my freak is not accurate enough for me to hit every exposed part. and when im shooting and a guy dives im thankfull for the extra balls that might hit him rather than bounce.
but i set my bps cap to 5 when playing aganst friends just because there is no sense in ripping 15+ bps in a friendly game. speed has its place, as long as you can control it it is a usefull tool. walkons with 17bps ramping ions generally dont have the bps under control.

The big red chrono and my friends eyes beg to differ.

Chronographs arent very accurate when measuring bps.

[buzzboy]

It seemed close enough. About the same as Spyder F/A which is about that same speed.

[OneEyedPimp]

Generally 5, mostly less.

[1992Balla]

Yeah I was at the field with him and I shot the cocker 10 bps myself

[AGDlover]

my cocker-19bps(ubber bounce though)
Angel- 15
My BM5- Lol never used it in semi
My Emag- 15sih


Lol I love my guns fast!

[Zeruel]

I find that the 13bps my hypermag spits out is more than enough for speedball. Heck, I played one game with a gravity feed(aka i was shooting about 5bps), and that was enough for me. But when I play back I much prefer my revy, as the more paint i put in the air the better chance i hae of hitting someone.

Matters where I'm at generally I can compete fine with a LVL7 classic without issue. Today I was holding my own with a phantom/pgp & the hotrod.
