Rate of Fire

After a moderate debate about the best way to calculate rate of fire, I had a few suggestions, but what I decided on is this:

  1. Start Demo Recording
  2. Empty Entire Magazine at wall
  3. Reload
  4. Repeat until out of Magazines
  5. Stop Demo
  6. Play back demo at 10% speed
  7. Time how long it takes to empty each magazine and record results
  8. Time how long it takes to reload each time and record results
  9. Divide that time by 10 and you get a very close representation of game time.

I had several people recommend recording to avi then converting and then slowing down and checking time indexes. I decided this was not the precise option for me.

I would like to thank Yaz for the recommendation of the timeindex for the slow replay.

Skeptics:

Here are the demos I used for my calculations.  Enjoy.  It took me quite a while to go through them all.
