I'm learning java

Hah.

Let's mod a crossbow that acts the same as the old bow! Or, like, with less rps?

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

Oh, I guess that does work.

[kiddten]

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

[Kayar]

Except that crossbows fire bolts.

[kiddten]

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

[Excend]

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."

._.
what?
-_-
wait nevermind, I'm sure I'm wrong.

[Yarok]

Crossbows with bullets. Oh wait.

[kiddten]

>.>
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.

[Excend]

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

Rate of fire is the frequency at which a specific weapon can fire or launch its projectiles. It is usually measured in rounds per minute (RPM or round/min), or per second (RPS or round/s).

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

[kiddten]

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

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."

So I apologize.

I was about to write APS, but then i thought you guys weren't gonna be so punctilious about it.

…how wrong was I.

[Kayar]

It's all my fault!

[draconic74]

Here, lets just use a universal term.

ROF

Done.

[TaxiService]

ROF! YES! i wanted to write that but i couldn0t remember!


anyway DERPPPP let's mod guyss!! Who knows java?
