Actual ROF of custom pro E?

Not sure if this really belongs in this section but it didn't fit anywhere else so I put it here. Now, everybody has been saying that the custom pro E is capped at 15 bps but if you look in the tippmann catalog, it says "trigger speed up 17 shots/sec". Does that mean that it's actually capped at 17 bps and that the ad where it says 15 bps was just misleading or was that saying something else? Can anybody with a custom pro E clarify? It seems to me that by saying that it should be able to shoot at 17 bps. The ad that says 15 bps doesn't say it's capped there either, it just says "for 15 rounds/second firing".

EDIT: Here is the ad for those of you who haven't seen it. And here is the tippmann catalog that has the ROF listed at 17 bps. Look on page 9 (in adobe reader or 15 and 16 in the catalog itself). It says it by the last bullet next to where it says "150+ ft effective range".

I know the semi is capped at 15bps (tournament limit). And I think the full auto is adjustable up to 15 as well. But the turbo and response modes are capable of up to 17bps.

Interesting. Triggerhappy, where did you hear that from?

Trigger usually knows his stuff, so I would'nt be suprised after digging around in the specs. you'll find that his info. is correct.

i know someone who has tested one, he said ti was very slow

Well, if it was stock then that would be due to the heavy trigger spring. I played around with one at west point when they had it on display and I couldn't shoot it much faster than I could shoot my mech A-5 with a bunch of trigger mods. However, I could tell that the gun could rip with a different trigger spring and maybe a few other mods. The new spring costs only as much as the pen you rip it out of and it'll boost your ROF quite a bit.
