That's pretty much what I meant, for a given amount of air you're putting in, there is a given amount of power you can obtain - inefficency means you're not achieving the full power potential
The sounds that the fx produces are just too cool! Thanks for rubbing in the fact that you can unleash 300lb of energy in what, 5 seconds
It actually sounds quite different in real life, I don't know how it came out sounding like that. Ah well, my cellphone camera is now the only one that I have that can record sound too, better than nothing. Actually I can empty the magazine in much less than 5 seconds, as fast as you can pull the trigger really, and with
a bit of tinkering 
(but for legal reasons and becuase I don't have a room full of SCUBA bottles, I'm staying semi with this).
If I had to face a nasty type and had for a choice of weapon - a vortex strafer that fires a hundred 1 ft-lb shots a second or a .32 ACP pistol that could fire one 100 ft-lb shot a second, I'd choose the pistol.
Fair enough, the 0.32 would penetrate deeper and indeed a single shot to the head could be lethal. Still, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the strafer though - if you could keep up the rate of fire, it could chew someone up very quickly, especially if aimed at the face - I wouldn't continue attacking someone while being pelted by 100 BBs per second. Besides, the strafer also has a much, much higher hit probability, it's easier to "hose someone down" with BBs as opposed to single shots at one per second.
A friend of mine at the club also bought a Monsoon, he wants to try it out for skeet
