Now that that usless uneffective ban is gone we now need to focus on
getting rid of the ban on fully automatic weapons for law abiding
citizens.

Glock make an awesome fully automatic pistol called the model 18. It
can fire 1200 9mm rounds per min. Comes with a 32 round clip.

Cyclic sounds a bit high for a hand held antipersonnel weapon, 600 rpm
would be more appropriate;
this was one of the good points of the old Thompsons and "grease" guns
(same with Patchets and Stens).
1200 rpm is more suited for anti-aircraft use,.... anyone for hang
gliding?

The Uzi pistol has roughly the same cycle rate, and would empty a 30+ round
magazine in a bit under 2 seconds. Not terribly worthwhile as a defense
piece, except of course in Hollywood where such guns rip off several
thousand rounds before necessitating reloading..
