As Polar Star systems are catching on, we are starting to see these in the airhouse. A few concerns about RPS (rounds per seconds) have come up. We at Kalamazoo Airsoft are going to be making a rule on the max RPS for the airhouse. We were thinking 20rps. This is not set in stone and would like to hear more concerns and feedback on this.

I think his point is that they have spent alot of money for nothing and are going to have to spend more to down grade. I do think that there should be a rps limit, but I think It should be alittle higher, like around 28-30...just my suggestion.

Guns dont have a stock rps. It is the battery power you put into them. In the case of polar stars, they are programmable to do 3rnd burst so rof doesn't matter. Anything over 25 seems excessive though.

I think the burst rule is fine and easy to apply. As long as people follow that rule RPS shouldnt be an issue.

Polar Stars have a beautiful burst fire capability and it should be utilized. I've never really had any problems with this. Most users, like Gunny, know what they are doing and know when to pull the trigger and when to let up. |

I think the burst rule is fine and easy to apply. As long as people follow that rule RPS shouldnt be an issue. I completely agree! When I was last at the air house gunny gave me a brief review of the polar star and how it works. I thought it was awesome to be able to program your gun. Now with being able to program your gun comes great responsibility (gotta love spiderman quotes) just because you can do this doesn't mean you can abuse this privalage. I think 20 rps might be a little low due to the fact that some high-end aegs can tip the scales at 24rps with a 9.6v battery such as the kwa sr10 for example. I personally don't have this problem due to the fact that I own a cyma and a G&G. So rps isn't a major problem for me. I think 26-28rps would be a reasonable limit. My reasoning for this is because if you do own a higher end aeg an you do use a 9.6v battery you can be sure that you can have some lee-way when testing your rps at KA. These are just my two cents. I know I don't come down to the air house often but when i do come down I want everyone to be safe and have fair rules that everyone should follow. |

Just to be clear; I am not in favor of any regulation. I am in favor of players being responsible. Meaning; when indoors you MUST abide by the 3-5 shot burst rule. No exceptions. When outside, one should remember that "full auto" in this case means firing a burst greater than 5 shots is permissible. However, one should not think that shooting someone 20 times is a good or tolerable thing to do. It is not.
I heard from some folks today some complaints that they had been shot by others players an excessive amount at once. I believe the solution to this situation is not more rules, but a greater emphasis on player responsibility and trigger discipline.

Single shot only FTW Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using ProBoards Yes. Win. In my personal opinion. It should be semi fire only indoors. Some guns have such a high rate of fire, you will begin to lose count on how many bb's are chambered, and launched. Semi fire will also imply that you need to stay more tactical and pick your shots. Outdoors, on the otherhand, should allow full auto. That area is much more open, and not congested. Just my two-cents |

another problem with this is with guns like the KWA mp7 (which i plan on getting) has a high rate of fire that isn't adjustable. And since its gas, getting a lower voltage battery doesn't apply. I think this is a situation where people just need to learn trigger control. And if its easier to imply a rule like semi auto-only or bursts only, then that is what needs to be done to ensure people are safe. But setting rate of fire rules are a lot harder.
