“Which results in 800 rounds per minute from this gun,”
Quit misstating that statistic. You couldn’t pull the trigger fast enough to fire that many rounds in 1 minute nor could you change magazines fast enough to do so. That stat. is a measure on the time it takes for the action to cycle. 800 is way too fast and would lead to multiple failure to feeds/jams. Action speeds below 600 are preferred. Magazine springs can only feed rounds upward into the action so fast. At 800 the springs can’t keep up.....
My thought exactly. 800 rounds a minute is 13+ each and every second. Even with 30 round magazines, it would take much more than a minute duration to load 800 rounds. Having a drum raises issues of overheating if it was possible to press the trigger that fast for a complete minute.
That alone makes me question what else in this article is wrong. Personally, I’ve had several of both caliber, until my surprise boat sinking, and distance is the primary factor for me.
