(18,476 posts)I don't really see a revolver firing faster than a AR. The fact that the AR lacks the full or burst fire is the determining factor. On full auto an M16 empties a 30 round magazine in less than 3 seconds. Find me someone who can fire 30 rounds from a revolver in under 3 seconds. I've seen guys empty a revolver in less than 2 seconds accurately but I'd guess there may be 3 or 4 of those folks in country.
A self-defense firearm, when used for that purpose, may also kill people. Is self-defense wrong?
A Ruger mini-14 fires the same ammo at the same rate as an AR. Since it was designed as a ranch rifle, is it less lethal than an AR?
AFAK an M60 is a machine gun. It doesn't fire semi-auto. IMNSHO rate of fire less than 100 rounds per minute should be completely legal for civilians.
