Talk:Magstrike (ICON Series)

Can you stop this, youre just undoing my edits without reading them, i changed wrong information that anyone will agree on, and i removed despite being part of n strike series because we dont know that it is.Monkeyman0490 (talk) 19:37, July 2, 2019 (UTC)

I don't understand why you're so concerned about this. If the Stampede can be listed as N-Strike and everyone's fine with it, why not the Magstrike?

Because the stampede doesn’t have an elite logo.Monkeyman0490 (talk) 02:50, July 3, 2019 (UTC)

I still don't agree with this being N-Strike Elite, but I won't edit the page because I don't want to risk another edit war.

@JetCell: Here’s the Youtube link of me performing a clip dump on the ICON Series Magstrike (https://youtu.be/OzSU7zu5juU). Comparing this to any other video featuring older Magstrikes, the ICON Magstrike fires noticably faster. In the pinned comment, I listed the cyclic rate of about 925 RPM (or about 15.4166 darts/second), done by slowing down the video on my PC, then starting my phone timer from the instant I start shooting to the instant the last dart is shot. Jared Guynes, who also did a video on the ICON Magstrike (https://youtu.be/-pc83SnCHYI), listed the fire rate of the ICON variant as 10% faster than the older N-Strike variant. Doing some math, this would mean that the older Magstrikes shot at about 832.5 RPM, or 13.875 darts/second. Still faster than the “8-10 darts per second” this site was claiming. As this ICON Magstrike was updated to Elite standards, it’d be safe to say that a faster fire rate would be a by-product of increasing the air pressure to launch the darts further.

While technically it can’t shoot above 10 darts/second given the nominal capacity, it definitely, DEFINITELY does not shoot below 10 darts/second. The Prometheus, for comparison’s sake, is advertised to shoot at around 8 Rival rounds/second, the low end of the Magstrike’s claimed fire rate here. Play those videos side by side, and you’ll see why my OCD radar was going off in relation to the Magstrike.
