During my Army service I managed to fire off 60 rounds with my semi-automatic rifle while my partner with the machine gun got off 50 rounds. His fire discipline was better than mine!
My point is that you can lay down a lot of fire with a semi-automatic ... and it's fairly straightforward to convert most semi-automatic rifles to fully automatic. Such weapons are really only intended to be used against other humans (and some feral animals) and it is a mystery to me why they are so freely available in the USA. I wonder how many more lives will be lost before they bring in sensible gun laws. The current POTUS is in bed with the NRA and I can't seem him doing anything to upset them
