“Rapidly fire.” What the hell is that? My blackpowder flintlock rifle can fire about two rounds per minute, is that rapid fire? Just more bullsh!t symantics.

I think the military rule for flintlock muzzle loaders was you had to load and fire 15 rounds in three and three quarters minute.

I seen OLD Winchester74 and Remington nylon 22 rifles that can shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger.

And I still get a thrill out of a Remington Model 8 made in 1906. Enough to make an anti-gun radical lose bladder control!
