a hundred rounds in seconds? Who is asking to make motorized gatling guns legal?
NO assault rifle can fire a hundred rounds in seconds. before you start commenting on policy, I suggest you brush up on the technical aspects of the argument.
AN M-16 can fire about 600 rounds/min. That's 10 rounds a second.
and even with a 60 round clip you run ouy in 6 seconds, for 60 rounds.
Jim's statement was "100 rounds in seconds"
I have never seen a belt fed M-16 that would allow you to get that rate of fire.
M-16s are never "belt fed." You're probably thinking of an M-60." M-16s are true assault rifles that use magazines.
A semi-auto AR-14 would require almost two minutes to fire 100 rounds, so the claim that it would take "seconds" is hyperbole. Furthermore, you couldn't hit anything at that rate of fire.
