  • Very high rps... What's the point?

    What's the point of having an insanely high rate of fire?

    If you can't aim already then why waste twice as many bbs shooting at nothing? If you can't hit then don't shoot, if you can then one shot should be enough, surely? Or am I being obtuse?

    :-p

      Oooo, must be a good week since we had this one :D

      The answer is:

      - Short bursts
      - Quick Trigger Response On Semi
      - Fear Factor

      And as always, it's not how fast, powerful or whatever you gun is. It is how you use it!

      I have a high(ish) ROF weapon, and I've had a lot higher. Both hardly ever come off semi auto, unless it's covering / movement firing!

        Fair enough! I've just put a 9.6V mini in my ICS and that, to me, is very fast! I'm just wondering why people want more lol

            As Jag said trigger response and the fear factor is great with a sound hog!

                  If you ever new Jags P90, you'll know what fear factor is

                  My team mate has his M4 set up faster than he can pull the trigger for CQB as its single shot only

                    However a gun with very high ROF(30+rps) firing at 320 is more likely to cause injury have a 500fps rifle firing at close range.

                    If you want fast trigger response get a mosfet fitted, I have been on the receiving end of very high ROF guns and it isn't pleasant.

                      I love high rof....Any one visit ASM?

                      A snippet from one of the gun techs web pages...

                      I have done it all from pushing 35 rounds per second at 700+ feet per second to over 70rps at 360fps and everything in between. Naturally not everyone wants such high performance.

                        high rof has its place, from simply learning gun tech to cqb...

                        When you put a restriction on power it force's people to upgrade in other ways..

                          Exactly. Deans Connectors and a 9.6 NiMH and it's nice. Fast, but not stupid. I really have never understood why people go for ridiculous rates of fire. Maybe to see if you have the tech skills to do it, but then why keep it that way?

                          Kills your gearbox quicker, wastes bbs, hurts people needlessly, and for the people who do it to the WRONG guns (I saw a guy with a lipo'd up 35rps SPR), makes you look like an idiot.

                          Range and accuracy I can understand, but beyond having it nice and fast, I don't see the point. If you want to launch that many bbs in that short a time then get a revolver launcher or just throw the bottle at someone.

                          It's so much more satisfying to just be firing on semi popping guys from nearly 60m.

                          As for the fear factor.. my RPG scares the shit out of people much more than any lipo'd up M4 ever will. And it only spits bbs about 10m! lawl

                            I am an advocate of trying to get rof to match real steel. It just sounds better. Having said that it is hard to do if you get a gun like a CA M14 which on standard setup fires nearly 1300 rpm. But my Inokatsu M60 fires at around 750. That is still faster than real steel but sounds much better than a buzzsaw.

                              I like them on support weapons as it will then do what a support weapon is supposed to and keep heads down but on other AEGs then it will get you that snapy trigger response.

                              A mate of mine is in the process of deans ing up all his gear for lipos even though he never uses full auto, just for that reason.
