see the sticky at the top of the list mate

covers all manner of markers, with and without eyes, electric or manual

Theoretically means jack sh!t in the real world. In theory, under the right circumstances, with the right programming, under the perfect atmospheric pressure, with the right temperature, and the proper amount of gravity, it's been said that just about every marker out there can do about 10 million CPS, but with the restrictions of circuit board programming, anti chop eyes, firing and recocking time, hopper feed rates, and even human reaction time, what they could "theoretically" do, under all the right circumstances means nothing, because you will never be able to operate your marker under all of the conditions that need to be met in order for theoretical CPS capabilities to be possible. Think of it like this, there is "theoretically" enough energy in a glass of water to power every car in the world for the next billion years. If friction didn't exist, if markers weren't powered by air, if you could have an unlimited feed rate, if, if, if, if :rolleyes:

I think he means, what’s the fastest the markers could mechanically cycle, if the electronics where un-capped, and the trigger pull was done by a machine.

there is a physical limit to how long 1 cycle takes, and this would be different for different types of marker. hence different ROF

ok working on the theory that the marker in question was uncapped etc then you would theoretically be able to fire as fast as your finger can move.....im sure if you researched this a little you could dig up some info on muscle responces etc that would give you the answer your after

what im talkin about is if you had a machine pullin the trigger how fast could it shoot?

like how fast could you theoretically shoot a tippman or mag?
theoretically using a mchine you should be able to shoot as fast as the board will let you

you cannot shoot a mech marker faster than a electric one.....so therefore the only restriction has to be the board

if you wire a laptop to a race frame and set it to full auto, full speed it will only do 200 cps (as stated by TOOLE)

the biggest problem you have is the hopper feed, as the fastest is only 22bps

yes but can the internal workings of a raced cocker actualy move at that speed. i seriously doubt it, so its more limited by the mechanical components.

for example: the 44 MAGNUM RAM has a maximum cycle of 19.2, regardless of how fast the electronics are.
