The term is more commonly known as "ramping," though I have heard it called "rampage mode." There are many different settings for ramping, and on some boards those settings are customizable. Most settings that tournaments allow are rebound, and PSP ramping, they are both capped at fifteen balls per second. I'm not exactly sure how rebound mode works, but I know the ball per second rate goes up accordingly with the speed at which you are pulling the trigger, (EX. you pull the trigger at 3 bps, the gun shoots 5. you pull the trigger at 8 bps, the gun shoots 12.) PSP ramping is more common. When you use PSP ramping, the first three shots are semi automatic (one pull, one shot.) But any shot after those three is a burst of 3 shots, this will not exceed 15 balls per second.
