IT sounded like they were shooting 13bps, because we had not heard 13bps at that time. When you used a mag or cocker and shot 6-8 BPS, anything more than that sounded like a machine gun........
And you hit the main problem with all this talk, tourneys dont allow anything over 13.33 in PSP, and 12 in millenium, so who cares what your gun can do, as long as it can hit 13bps consistently, then its perfect for tourney use. I could see some tourney players going back to revy hoppers to get rid of some of that weight on top of their gun...... |
And regarding what you can do with physical human limitations. It is pretty clear that the limit a human can fire a marker today falls somewhere in the range of 10-16BPS. We can argue trigger setup and how much "help" you are getting but I think people would agree that somewhere in that range of 10-16 lies the upper limit of people.
That alone ends that if you want to talk about what you are ever going to see on a field if you are playing tourney rules. Anything faster is marker/electronics assisted.
It's still a bragging point though... just like buying a Hayabusa. I just don't think you bought it because you needed a bike that would drive 75 since that is about as fast as you legally can take it.
