3 questions:
1. 2000 rounds per second? That can't be right. I think the M-61 20mm gatling gun mounted on US fighter jets fires at a rate of roughly 6000 rounds per minute. Smaller multibarreled guns firing rifle-caliber rounds actually have lower cyclic rates of fire, probably due to control issues and the fact that people don't really want to lug around that much ammo. Speaking of which...
2. What sort of ammunition does this thing fire?
3. Who needs a laser scope at 200 yards, even firing 2000 rounds/minute (which roughly translates to somewhat over 30 rounds/second)?
