BPS preferences!!!!

[tones888]

hey all,
what BPS setting are you running your bushy at? People have been telling me to set the bushy at around 10 bps for reliability concerns. do you think I can push that up to 11 bps with good reliability (not chopping balls)???:confused:

[AllOleander]

Put it at the max BPS for your board, and then turn it down as you start to chop a lot.

You never know how good your loader is .. Have faith my friend :)

[StudBoy]

You BEST bet is to keep it around 10-11. You will eventually chop if you keep it cranked up. Most people can't even tell the difference between 10 and 12 anyway.

[tones888]

yes, yes, i must have faith!
that's what i'll do. max out the board and then test it. what do you have yours set on?
thanks allo

When i really rip on the trigger, the thing is it looks as if the the LED isn't turning off EVERY time i pull the trigger when i set it to 10bps. When i set it to 12bps, the LED turns off everytime i pull the trigger. does the LED coorespond to the BPS

[simon woodstock]

you can tell if you're hitting the rof cap if the shots are in perfect intervals.
i have mine set at like 11 or so, i find the only time i feel the desire to shoot faster is when i'm in my room fidling w/ my gun. i also like to have to solenoid on (bolt forward) a bit longer because i like the feel.
if you're really concerned about having the rof too low just turn all the switches off, 13.5 bps is VERY fast, especially for a stock bushy trigger. flip it on auto and check it out, that's only 9 bps (if settings are et to highest) then add another 4 blinks every second, that is very fast.

I honestly think my bushy does 13 in F/A

[VeNoM]

i really should turn mine down, just a little. i have all of them off and its extremely fast when i wail on the trigger, but i dont really need it that fast and i catch a chop or a skipped shot every once in a while . . . i think it would be more reliable if i turned it down to 11-12

[splatterpunx]

im not much of a gadget freak,after seeing lots of miracle products come out over the years then quickly go away cause they sucked,this is a high recomendation

if you wanna max out your BPS with a stock board get the wicked
air sports turbo rev board,i cannot out shoot it,i got the 9volt kit
so basically it turned a 9v revvy into a monster.

of course the first thing i did was try to force a chop,couldent do it


cheers

[VeNoM]

i bet i could out shoot it ;) it would take alot of paint though :rolleyes:

[DefiantMan3901]

hey guys, i know it is just a statistic, but having your gun fire at 13.5 balls a second really doesn't sound good, i mean the .5, that would be a chopped ball right?

i really should set mine lower to, but i like the speed, it just feels to wried when it isn't firing at the same rate i pull the trigger (i can feel the difference even with only like a 2 milisecond difference) but i sometimes get chops, but a lot of times i think it is the balls and the fact my revy drains batteries really bad, so if i forget to pull them out i've got a low battery light on for the rest of the day till i can get some new batteries (don't like spending that cash you brought for paint and air on some batteries you just put in a few days ago).

[Richy_C]

13.5 is a rate. I can shoot .5 balls a secound by shooting once every 2 secounds. Think of it as a flow, for a given amount of time. Just cause some on shoots 13.5 a sec don't mean that every time they shoot the shoot for i second. you can shoot 13.5 a secound for 2 secounds, and you'll shoot 27 balls, not 26 and 2 chops, you dig?

[tones888]

so am i right in saying:
an individual paintball will fall fast enough to enter the breech safely when the bushy is at 13bps, but then when a continuous string of balls need to be fed, the regular 12v loaders can't keep up with continually feeding balls fast enough, chopping a ball.
tell me if i'm not even making sense! haha
thanks

[Richy_C]

ehh, kinda, but........ ahh, to hard to explain.

[tones888]

i know, my mind has been going in circles about this. ahh! i'll just set the thing at 10bps and forget about it.

[AllOleander]

Richys got it. its the rate, and that doesn't mean that you will shoot 13.5 bps every second. And is it correct rich that you can shoot faster with the rate higher? Cause it doesn't hold you back.. i dont remember how the stock bm2k boards are (if thats what you hvae :| )

[Richy_C]

13.157894736842105263157894736842 bps w/all DIP switches off. And no i didn't pull that out of my ***, divide one by .076.

probly not, considering it feeds faster than the electron cap on the bushy.
and it also monitors your patterns(or so i hear) so the more paint you shot, the less you'd chop.

i'd believe it.

On warpigs test it didnt do as well as they advertise. wicked air sports said it was because it was on an autococker and the "pendulm technology" doesnt work on closed bolt guns but when i read it a second time recently, it turns out the used it as an open bolt. Ive yet to actually be able to observe it in person though. If it feeds the rate that warpig tested I could easily out shoot it, if it feeds what WAS says it does then I might be able to.

[DefiantMan3901]

yes i dig, but for the uninformed about paintball it might sound bad. but if you could make it so it only cycled for 1 sec then it would only shoot 13 balls, so putting the .5 after it isn't really any good execpt for saying "haha, my gun can shoot .5 faster than yours" and if you shoot contiunisly with semi i doubt many people can hold it at 13 for very long, with out dropping a little. also, on Angels with the LCD thing that tells you how fast you fired, doesn't that only tell you the fastest you got, not the over all? (wondering if that is the same with other means of testing measuring bps)

[Richy_C]

The results are in, i turned on F/A, set to what should be 13 bps, and it was pretty fast. Then i turns so dips to what should be 9 and it slowed considerably. So wow, i can chop 4 more BPS w/f/a. I hardly ever chop (except for low paint, or a bad detent) so i'm content.

[tones888]

is there a bps limit on bushies when they're on full auto? is the limit 9 bps?

wow thats cool . . . id be very impressed if i could go through a whole hopper with out a chop or dry fire

[splatterpunx]

for july..

it works well on both a stock icd board set at max and a impy
both with moded triggers fired as fast as me and a buddy could do with no chops

it was a major improvement and well worth my hard earned $$

on warpig it beat everything except the warpfeed

i dont think it could handle the 16bps claim but it works well
with the 13.5 bps setting


cheers

[splatterpunx]

oh and yea you can see the paddle go faster the faster you shoot
