If you wanted to make a point you simply could have like you were invited to do in post in post #8 instead of playing 20 questions in an attempt to illustrate something that I was sure someone would try; as I touched on in post #5.
I re-watched the interview and did not see where the Politician compared rates of fire (cyclic, effective, whatever). But at least Pat thinks you are graceful.
You never told me the rate of fire, you wrote I could establish any rate of fire I wanted. You could have explained everything I have. Before I explained it. And I gave you ample opportunity to do so. But, you didn't. Why?
You didn't see the rate of fire comparison? Okay . . .
Q: How many rounds did he claim an AR-15 could fire a minute?
A: 700 rpm
Q: For an AR-15, 700 rpm would be the ________ rate of fire.
A: Cyclic
Q: What other weapon did he compare an AR-15 to?
A: A Glock.
Q: He claimed a Glock would kill how many people in the same scenario?
A: Two or three. (I might be fuzzy on that one because I only watched the video once, but I'm 99% confident I quoted the correct numbers.)
Q: Why would a Glock only kill 2 or 3 victims compared to a rifle with a cyclic rate of fire of 700 rpm?
A: Because he assumes a Glock's rate of fire is less than 700 rpm.
Q: Is the effective rate of fire of an AR-15 less than the cyclic rate?
A: Yes.
Q: Is the effective rate of fire of a Glock less than the cyclic rate of fire of an AR-15?
A: Yes.
Q: If you have an AR-15 with a 15 round magazine and a Glock with an extended 15 round magazine, the effective rate of fire is going to be pretty similar because that rate is determined by the operator's skill level. There isn't going to be a difference of more 600 rpm. So did he compare the effective rate of fire of an AR-15 to the effective rate of fire for a Glock?
A: Absolutely not.
Q: Did he make a misleading comparison based upon a false equivalency of the cyclic rate of fire of an AR-15 and the effective rate of fire of a Glock?
A: Yes.
Since you prefer spoon feeding, I answered the questions for you ahead of time. You're welcome.
