: It's 'Practical' to own a $1400 gun, but not have a mechanical limit on its performance? Umm, okay... I guess we'll buy that one... :/

If it's a mechanical paintgun, than yes, it is impractical to retrofit it to add an ROF limiter.

With a paintgun that has electronics in it, an ROF restriction is pretty simple. Most of them use embedded microprocessors for control - so it's just a matter of the software in them being programmed with a maximum rate of fire limit.

With mechanical paintguns, it's a whole other ball of wax. The Automag RT for example can fire more than 28 times per second. Most blowback paintguns without electronic triggers are capable of firing well over 13 bps, or more.

Designing and putting limiters on mechanical (not electronic) paintguns is not a practical and cost effective thing to do.

See you on the field,
