Rps? Er... rotations per second? On a crossbow?

Oh, I guess that does work.

I think RPS in this context would be rounds per second.

Except that crossbows fire bolts.

Yes, but if you aren't being pedantic, RPS would work for a crossbow.

Even being pedantic, rounds per second applies in the sense that a round is defined as simply: "a measured quantity or number of something, in particular"... Even if you aren't going to say a bolt is a round you could also go by the definition: "a fixed number of arrows shot from a fixed distance."

Maybe I'm stupid, but isn't rounds per second a measurement for how many rounds an arm could fire in a second?
I would call a crossbow bolt a round in this case.
So if you could get a crossbow firing and reloading on a routine basis, a fucking crossbow would have a RPS.

I already proved your point Bunneh, but if it's not enough...


RPS is not bullet/gun specific. It's simply projectile/weapon specific. Hell, a slingshot has RPS.

Ok I'm just stupid, because I don't understand what you meant here:

So I apologize.
