What’s the perfect Rate of Fire (ROF) in your opinion?

There are no wrong answers here so please post away.
Hold down the trigger and watch that plastic fly, is there anything more satisfying? But to what degree does full auto fire bridge the gap from useable ROF to stupid fast?
In the hands of an experienced player a 35BPS Airsoft gun is no different than a gun shooting 15 BPS. It’s up to the player to choose when to use full auto and make sure they are not lighting up their opponent on purpose.
That being said what do you think the perfect Rate of fire is for your Airsoft gun and why?

My magical number is 20BPS.

20 BPS is fast enough that a quick pull of the trigger means 3-5 bb’s are heading towards my target, but it’s not so fast that I have to worry about accidently hitting my opponent with an extra 5-10 bb’s. (I’ve been there, not fun) With my setup, 20BPS gives me wicked trigger response which is great because I use semi auto 90% of the time.

If I roll on full auto while someone is running, and shoot ahead of them and will generally always hit them (shooting ahead so they run into the stream) my gun is fast enough. Trigger response is by far more important IMO

BUMB, because you people are lame.

I'm mostly in semi or when I'm in full auto I'm just shooting 3-5 bb's a second so 20 is a good number. Otherwise if I'm feeling rich and dumping bbs 30bbs a second will do.

Although inexperienced, I think I wouldnt mind a little higher ROF on my gun. It just felt a little slow in comparison to the people shooting at me.

Im running around 18rps if I was aloud to go full auto but I agree with most trigger response is key. I love my 11.1 well except when it lights my motor on fire lol. Any advice on a good high torque motor?

I will be pickin up one of these sassy little guys...Seems like a good price, for a pretty legit motor. I was going to get a lonex a2 (high speed and torque, cant remember the exact model) But It wasn't cheap, plus shipping....This other m160 seems like a pretty legit motor.

Looks good and maybe I will take the merf off of 100%.

My vfc pdw stock motor has enough bps for me, I think it's around 20. I wouldn't mind making the trigger a little more snappy though. I'm usually on semi.

My PDW shoots around 24 bps, but i use the mosfet to decrease it to about 15. I've considered a high torque motor for it since I mostly use semi or 3 round burst, just debating what grip to buy to put a long motor in it.
