These guys bring it and bring it good. I was intrigued by them putting it down. So in-between work and the VA MRIs I had a block of time to head to the range. So I did. I specifically wanted to test this theory against my finger. Well, they were faster than me. However, that did not display their targets. Being an ex-M60 gunner I can say MGs are not accurate and rely on volume. I brewed up an 18" Dissipator to try my theory against theirs.
I loaded 5 rds and hit my timer. I got the first rd down range at 33yds in 0.3s with the remaining rounds pumped out at 0.14s per rds. The rds stayed on the target in more or less a volleyball sized group. Ok, I loaded another 5 with the exact same results. Well, let me try a longer burst since were talking volume of fire. I loaded 11 rds and got the first rd out at 0.31s followed by another 10rds at 0.14s (avg) for a total time of 1.89s keeping them in the volleyball with iron sights. I used a milspec trigger. IF we disregard the getting on the trigger time that's 1.58s to pump out 11 rds. A light machine gun will pump out rds at 0.6s per round. Twice the fire and in my experience a lot less accurate. More so as the distance gets further out. The longer the distance the lower the speed should be to increase accuracy which is not possible with machinguns, it's always wide ass open.
Looking at the cost of this rig is $225 for the bumpfire, $125 for the trigger. So the question is, do you want 600rds of training at engaging targets and running the trigger while prone or do you want to have a semi auto system that takes time to master? Next question is of heat. It was a very Columbian 105 degrees at the range and the rifle was getting very hot, so another factor with high rates of fire is heat.
