I'm looking at my HPA VSR and wondering how it's so bad. Sure, it's really quiet and the bolt pull is effortless, but getting a high ROF out of it is proving to be quite the challenge. What am I doing wrong?
Modding the bolt to being straight pull will get you there ?.

you're meant to chrono it at 2.5j on .2g, then put .5g bb's in it joule creeping up to 3.5j, then adjust the reg after chrono to get you to 4.8j and only engage inside MED
because everyone that runs hpa does those things dontyaknow

i have to say i agree that there is no need for a gun to have a mini-gun level ROF (unless its actually a mini-gun) regardless of HPA/AEG etc...
that said, banning HPA is the wrong way to sort the issue... my tippmann is HPA, and while i can turn up the ROF, i abide by the number 1 rule in airsoft (dont be a dick) and leave the ROF at a realistic level. i have no idea how high i can turn it up, nor do i have any intentionof finding out.
as has been said above, the issue isnt the kit, its the dick using a high ROF HPA setup to hose someone.
the only way (i believe) to resolve the issue is to have chrono stations also check the ROF on HPA and DSG guns and having a ban on binary triggers that allow people to bypass single shot limits, especially at CQB sites where they are often implemented for safety or game balance reasons

I'd also say, @Skara aside, this forum isn't really the place the moan about folks being clowns with their RIFs. And Skara is far enough away that we don't have deal with his 'you're all pussies' antics on the field 
.
Folks that tend to frequent here all sing from the same hymn sheet in the grand scheme of 'twats are twats, and will be twats with whatever toy they're using'.
More than within your right to find the hose and tank harms your personal immersion, but enforcing your preference on others only serves to put further barriers on what is already niche hobby. That latter of those statements doesn't exist to devalue your opinion, it simply runs parallel to it. It's a shame your work around is to limit the sites you attend, but I'm glad you've seemingly found a 'solution' that works for you.

can't speak for the other brands, but the polarstar fcu doesn't have a facility for a binary trigger.
it does however have a facility for limiting the semi-auto rate of fire......

you are right of course.
but it's fun to have a rant every now and then, and if we clear up some misconceptions while we're at it then that's worth the while?

for starters that hpa's have binary triggers, can't account wolverine and redline solenoid systems but the mechanical and polarstar systems don't.
also that all hpa users are cnuts, because they aren't......
to add to the list lets address the 3 main arguments that tend to get levied against hpa:
high rof- just have an rof site limit- the hpa guys can turn their guns down, not so easy for a dsg build without a fancy mosfet......
joule creep- chrono on joules, gbbr's and heavy piston'd boltys have the same problem, also if i had a penny for every site that didn't chrono green gas pistols.......
reg twiddling- a lot of hpa regs can be tournament locked, the qc spring on a scorpion evo (other qc spring guns are available) can't, jus' sayin.......

Well in my experience I've only come across one or two dickheads...using HPA. Now ARP9 users, i've come across quite a few of those acting like dickheads as well...should we ban ARP9's? just saying... (few of my mates run ARP9's..and they ain't dicks)
We get it... You don't like HPA users, but why complain about it on a forum?

You do realise that dickish behaviour is caused by the flesh coloured squishy bit, rather than whatever powers the rif?
