I would agree that 50-60rps is approaching the edge of what's reasonable both from a mechanical standpoint and a practical player standpoint. If I had a 60rps setup, I would keep it on semi. Once you throw out the ridiculous uselessness of firehosing that many BBs per second, the one super attractive aspect left over is the snappy trigger response.
That's my official excuse from here on in guys

Well, since we're talking upgrading G&Ps here, it's down to only a few things. Sorbothane, a strong gearset, a metal rack piston, a pack of shims and a MOSFET will run you a total of between $60 and $90 at Stealth's store (choosing between the Core gearset and the Lonex gearset is what changes the price range). You can run a G&P C8 at 35rps between 400-420fps for an almost-every weekend year of play with that setup, no problem.
I'll happily admit it's expensive if you consider tools like a Dremel and a workdesk (or even gun doctor time, which is fair if you don't have the time/skills) to be part of the cost. Not everyone has these things.
