Fire bottles are fired arround engines not into them so I don't understand your linkage to RPM in your question.

The fire bell is linked to temperature differences and not directly to flame so there is a need to be patient to see the effects of firing the first bottle. It's not like seeing the flame with your eyes, you are relying on the time it takes for heat sensors to change in order to assess the effects of the first fire bottle.
