Life is guaranteed to result in death.
As they say on National Palisimain Radio, “Lets’s do the numbers.”
100 rounds in 3 seconds = 33.3 per second.
33.3 X 60 = 1998 rounds per minute.
1998 rounds per minute = rotary cannon, NOT a mere ‘assault weapon.”
Both great!
Could you make a video of you lighting off that 50 cal BMG and post it? Then tell us how the hand reattachment surgery?
Use to shoot a Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 mag and two hands was mandatory. That BMG would need to welded to an anvil!!
Probably not. They know banning shotguns will never fly in a hunting nation. First they have to re-define (as always) “assault weapons” and get them banned.
So it’s likely they will keep the shotgun thing about Aurora - if it’s true - secret. Their objective for now is “assault weapons.”
The libs/communists are very patient for achieving one step at a time and not over-reaching. Gradual conquest...the old frog in the slowly warming pot theory....works every time.
Look how far they’ve taken us already? They are more than 50% toward their goal of taking us over.....
But putting Obama in office just may have been an overreach......let’s hope and pray so......
I want to read this more carefully later
the term ‘assault weapon’ is not a technical term describing an actual type of firearm but rather a political term denoting whatever firearm the anti-gun crowd wishes to demonize, regulate, and ban at a given point in time.
It’s worse than that – given the definitions:
Assault
1 to attack someone in a violent way
Weapon
1 something that you use to fight with or attack someone with, such as a knife, bomb, or gun
An assault weapon could be any object that could be used as a weapon to assault or attack someone. It could apply to almost anything deemed to be a Weapon.
I wouldn't say that.

Nah. Just your old run-of-the-mill MG42,M53 SARAK, or MG3 with the light bolt.
Any single barrel weapon will overheat rapidly under sustained fire near 2,000 rounds per minute. I was not, of course, referring to burst fire.
Well, the Villar-Perosa of 1914 managed about 1500 RPM, and in a twin-gun configuration was a reasonably effective defensive weapon for the aircraft of the early days of WWI. Barrel overheating was minimalized in three ways: the weapon fired from an open bolt using a pistol-caliber cartridge, from a limited capacity magazine, and rode in the 100 mph+ airflow of the observer's position in the aircraft.
The MG42 derived beltfed guns get around barrel overheating with frequent barrel changes, around every 500 rounds or so per my experience with German tank crews, who run off longer bursts than their Infantry countertparts who have to haul ammo on their backs. The WWI German Gast MG, chambered for the standard German 7,92mm rifle/MG cartridge, managed 1600 RPM [single mechanism/double barrelled, and again, magazine fed [2x 180-round drums.]
By the end of WWII, the Germans had machine cannon for aircraft developed to the point that two or three projectiles were in the barrel at the same time. See Chinn for details.
