I was just scrolling back to refresh my memory on the context of this discussion, and I have to nitpick again.

"rate of fire" is rounds per second.

"muzzle velocity" is feet per second.

All the full-auto Rival blasters are pretty much in the same league, MV/FPS-wise, but I think the Perses edges all the others out on ROF/RPS.

It's not an inherent advantage of its design, though. ANY full-auto Rival blaster's ROF can be increased just by speeding up the conveyor-belt motor (or gear-drivetrain). The disadvantage to doing so is that feeding balls into the flywheels TOO fast will prevent them from getting back to full speed in time for the next one... and thus your MV/FPS will suffer.

Having a high-power rechargeable power source available lets you push the tolerances further; the Khaos and Nemesis and shackled by their need to support Alkaline D-cells for power, whereas the Prometheus and Perses are both bundled with rechargeable battery packs.
