I wish they had a slow motion of the first shot out of a well oiled rifle to see the droplets of CLP hitting the glasses. :laugh:

Not fair. You changed the thread title from "fps" to "frames per second". Takes all the fun out of it.

Awesome. One thing I think is cool is the gas coming out of the piston on it's way back. Also how the piston kind of bounced back when it closes.
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben
