How to slow rate of fire

[supercrimp]

How do I go about slowing rate of fire without putting too much pressure on the gears and the motor?

And can you retain trigger response?

I asked this not long ago.
What parts are you using because maybe you could put something like a TM EG700 motor in your gun to slow down the ROF.
Also what gun do you have?
+1 to auto freak mosfet would be the best way to go if the gun is standard.

Mosfet

This is the best option.

And don't, under ANY circumstances, listen to anyone telling you to just put a resistor in the power line. While it will work for a short time, it's VERY wasteful of power, generates a lot of heat, and is just plain stupid to do in an AEG.

On the other hand, the microcontroller MOSFET units that have motor speed control settings use a technique called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), which will actually increase the battery life. It pulses power to the motor. This makes the motor turn slower, but reduces battery consumption because the motor isn't turned on 100% of the time.

The best option is too is a lower voltage battery. Someone must have noticed when using an 11.1v lipo is fires faster than a teenager with his first porn mag.

Re: How to slow rate of fire

using a lower voltage battery is another option but not the best. If the OP has 3 or 4 batteries for this gun he would have to change them all and would end up with a lot of batteries he does not need. Get a cheap inline mosfet for 20-30 quid that has a RoF limiter. Burst Wizard LV is the one I have and you can get it down to about 13-14 bb's per second. Any lower than this and it just doesnt fire at all though.

He wanted to retain trigger response though, so as others have suggested, MOSFET is the way forward

Lower voltage battery. Only problem with doing that is trigger response will also be greatly reduced. Get a mosfet installed.. :D

Re: How to slow rate of fire

if you want a good trigger response stick a lipo in it, and use semi only.

Re: How to slow rate of fire

Microcontroller MOSFET is the only way to keep the first-shot response, and slow down full auto.
The way they do that is fire the first shot at 100% power, then drop to the lower setting for the rest. No other method can do that.

Why do you want a slower rate of fire anyway ? I know there is people that do it but for what reason ?

Most reasons are that people use way too much ammo. I slowed my M60 to 13 RPS because its how fast the real thing is...

Re: How to slow rate of fire

tou'll need a microcontroller based mosfet to do his. Rather than a pulse width modulated one, you vould go with one that locks the rate of fire. The do this by a number of methods, such as detecting the bb leaving the hop, opto reflector on the piston head, switch on the cut off cam or current load sensing. I think the ascu ( or something like that) controller has prigrammable rate of fire. What it does is pause the approprate amount of time between shots.

lower rate of fire is useful for ammo conservation ad more milsim type rof, in addition its useful to prevent overkill where 2 or 3 rounds is more than sufficient.

Ahhhhh...... Thanks
