In fact it could probably do so about twice before the barrel became too deformed too compromised firing.
This in no way take away from the ridiculous statement the Politician made about the gun used it this terror attack, just pointing it out before someone says "well technically it can".
Fred was most likely talking about the quote from the board member; however that board member's and this politician's motoves were the same and equally humorous.
The Army has these things called TMs. Technical manuals. They contain technical information like cyclical rate of fire, sustained rate of fire, max effective ranges, muzzle velocity, etc, etc. Surprised you seem to be unaware. Why don't you look in the TM for the M4 and tell us what cyclical rate of fire is listed in the TM? Then tell us the max effective rate of fire and the sustained rate of fire. Finally, explain the difference. Thanks in advance.
