Pretty cool.  You can see some embers coming out with each spent cartridge.

18,000 feet per second? Damn fast!

18,000 rounds per second? How long until the barrel melts?

;)

Dude, it's a Ghost Gun.  Totally capable of that.

Didn't see it yet, does it have the 30 caliber clips?

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.
