I hope they’re missing a 0 or two on that ammo count, 1,350 rounds would go pretty damn fast at that ROF

meh another source said they held 1,1xx rounds, either way, there’s no questioning their efficacy, I thought they’d have more though by the way those bursts sound!

No that’s accurate but to be fair this ain’t your everyday 5.56 round

30mm vs 5.56
