Re: How do you shoot so fast?

Another thing to consider is reducing the amount of energy lost per ball. If your system compresses the ball a lot during a launch, more energy will be lost - which needs to be replaced.

Fuel weighs about 0.0707 kg, launched at 6 m/s will have an energy of 12.73 J

Shooting five of these per second is only 64W - ignoring other loses. Those other loses could be hampering your shooting rate.
