hmmm.. true, and cyclic doesn't equate to the actual sustained rate of fire, as long as you have a well trained gunner that fires in bursts. It looks like it might have a regulator as well.

So does this fire from a closed or open bolt position? Closed bolt, after sustained firing, will lead to cook-offs, where the rounds fire by themselves due to the excessively hot chamber. BAD.
