I'm fairly new to airsoft having started in Sept.
One of the things that got my attention was rate of fire, in that it excited me. I wanted to buya fast firing rif.
I recently bought a chrono Purely to see the rps of mine and my sons ( box std) arp556.
His was 15rps and mine is 13rps.
This surprised me as I thought it was much higher.
Given the amount of bb I can get through in a day I don't want anything faster and really can't see why more than 20 rps would be needed?
Infact my preferred rate is now 3 round burst as its plenty.
Full auto is only for non callers now.
I've no problem with those that want to go faster or what propels them.
Only real problem I've come across is the drum mag users.
Granted I use high caps at 350 rounds but they are nothing compared to what seems minutes on end from the drummers, from behind their cover !
Really slows or stops the game some days.
I've also noticed bar post teen walk ons, it's seems the drummers are the ones who don't call hits more often?
I sniped one drummer with 3 body shots Sunday from about 40 - 30m as he did a terminator walk across open ground. On the 3rd hit he turned and sprayed me. I just stuck 2 fingers up at him but also then got head shot by a fellow sniper lol so I called hit and off i went.
