ROF slow or fast?

[RiceBurner923]

in your opinion, is 16-17 bps fast or slow? thats about my average speed, and i thot it was slow ever since i saw hornet's spyder vid. He did 19 with paint, which made me think my 16-17 was slow. what do you guys pull and comment what you think is fast or slow.

[Avery_mac]

well since people are rarely doing 17 bps in a game , it doesn't matter

[wordf0o]

For a spyder, sure.

[jdolla]

16 bps is fast

i dont care how many people say "I've done faster than 16, that's slow" 16 bps is really stinking fast

find the nearest clock that has a second hand. watch it tick one second

that's not a lot of time. pulling a trigger on any gun 16 times in that time frame requires a lot of practice, speed, and usually a little help from an illegal board

watch the vid about the LCD conversion

the second guy shooting, (josh, i think), pulled about 18, (i timed it). and he was flying.

16 is fast for anyone, no question

i've done 13 multiple times
and i'm the fastest guy on my team

[Everlight389]

:tup: Pulling 16 is pretty good

[§checky]

Arent those Spyder boards capped at 14... Not positive though.

EDIT: didnt see T board in sig

[etmydst]

17 is very fast.

[RiceBurner923]

yeah, the t board is definately much better than that stock crap board.

thanks for the feedback guys. im trying to aim for 18 bps by June.

[aperson]

to me that is really fast. I can shoot ~10-11. I know, I am really slow. :sulk:

[Blacklight]

play a torunament

16 is average

18+ is fast

14- is slow

[apunkjunkie]

Noone sustains their highest ROF for long except backmen off the break. Even the backmen don't sustain their highest ROF the whole entire game, or they'd run out of paint.

[4THDEGREE]

Everyone seem to be going to the 15 bps cap so it really isn't an issue much anymore. All the practicing I have been doing to shoot fast has gone out the window once I put my new Tadao board in. I only need to pull 4-5 bps and it ramps to 15.

[Kowz_76]

I shoot about 14 or 15 on my BKO when I'm really ripping, and I think anything faster is kinda unnecessary. Running through a stream of 14bps is pretty much impossible.

[CoolT]

Yeah 17 is fast, I can get 15 if I'm lucky and work at it.

[punk_rocker543]

my fastest burst i can remember must have been 17 bps, i only did it maybe twice, i can sustain possibly 14-15.

[jdolla]

no offense meant to anyone, but when i read conversations like this, i start to think of the immortal words of Kampfer, (check the Palmer forum):

When tourney players talk BPS, the P is usually silent

[|GB|]

Faster than me. :(

But it is pretty fast, :tup:

[Blacksheep]

Can you hold it though? I can probably spike 20bps+ in a small string of 3-5 rounds, but can I hold that? Heck no, I might hold 8bps-12bps depending on the gun.

Yep. with no ramp and little bounce, I shoot streams of about ~15 with spikes in the low twentys, although most of the time you fire off quick 13-14 bps bursts.

on my angel LCD i got all the way up to 17. thats with my left hand. im right handed and i can shoot faster left handed than right

yeah, i did an average of 16bps in 10 seconds

[foxracing13579]

Yes I am used to holding the gun with my left while shooting with my right, but i am faster at walking with my left hand. Kinda weird.... Anyways if you think you are slow at 16-17, I am pretty damn slow then. It seems like my ESP frame doesn't respond fast enough or i'm not pressing down hard enough on the trigger?

[jdolla]

the switch on your frame is probably too heavy to walk easily, and the trigger is probably set up right, and the board is probably too slow.

spyders can rip, but the stock frames on e-spyders suck. they need a new switch, trigger, and board before you can hope to walk it

[Caleb98]

Fastest I can get is 14, that's what I get for shooting mechs all my life... :(

[Everlight389]

I think I hit the cap on my Ion earlier because I emptied 50 balls in about 3 seconds :)

I can hit about 17 I guess.

ur board is probably skipping like mine used to. i used to go way too fast for the stock board, causing it to skip so many shots. invest in a t board.

[Blacklight]

or like a new gun

Correct me, but werent all the LCDs and LEDs boards' capped at 14bps??

[CapnCrunch]

My old LED was capped at 20. And the Predator boards for LED's and LCD's are unlimited.

[§checky]

Hmm. Might have to take this to angelowners. I thought the LED and LCDs were capped at 14bps stock

[CapnCrunch]

The ZipChip was in my LED. I thought it was the stock one because I heard somewhere WDP came out with no aftermarket boards for it, dunno tho, never really researched it more than that.
