APM

The APM, or actions per minute, rating is directly derived from the Piston Reset Speed. It's graphically displayed as a gage when putting together builds in Garage, or on the Challenge Screen. Base for the APM rating is using a 1sec action weapon (without cooldown) like Ion Blaster. A build with <400 kg thus can fire the weapon every 2 seconds (1 sec action + 1 sec piston reset time), so 30 times per minute.
30 APM is the highest possible. Even when using a single Acid Streamer (3 sec action and cooldown) on a <400 kg build, the (potential) APM is still 30.
*Example: A 6050 kg build only has 6.3 APM -> 60sec / (8.5sec + 1sec).
