My last build shoots 1550rpm (25-26rps)...that's a pretty fast ROF. Personally...I think it's stupid fast and actually counter productive. Reasons...the risks that something is going to go wrong in your mechbox goes up...everything wears faster...and you basically suck mags dry really, really quickly...you start to get blank shots because your mags can't keep up..etc...

The biggest reason why a really high ROF is silly (in my opinion) is that you shouldn't need to blast someone with a "quick burst" of 20+ BBs. 20+ BBs impacting basically simultaneously is not a nice thing to do to a shooting buddy (it fucking hurts).

I'm going to downgrade on the motor to actually slow it down.

Now I'm working on a build that should shoot ~40-45rps (2400-2700rpm) @ 400fps...but that's just for fun and I can't imagine actually ever shooting someone with that.

You'd actually be better off with a Crane style stock that can hold a large battery pack...i.e. a Classic Army Crane Stock and 9.6v large sub-c battery pack.
