Not engine related, but firearms instead. Going back to the 1stWW and till now on rounds per minutes have changed or close to. While it's good for cover fire how effective is it for HOT (hits on target)? Distance plays a part in the equation of course along with stability it's being fire from. From a training video showing troops the mg42/43 vs the m2 and the 1917/18/19's and HOT difference. While the mg42/43 has an incredible RPM/FOF it was a spray and pray moment. Are full autos (SFA's
) really a good deal other that just fun to shoot? Recoil management or the lack of recoil in that firearm will surely increase HOT for sure. BUT are they really necessary for the military on ground troops (vehicle mounted excluded)? Depletion of rounds can be costly when you're out of ammo and a long way from nowhere and without support. Either burst or slower RPM/ROF would/could be a better choice, but then again it's not my A$$ on the line.
