Italian guy,
I did'nt quite get your question?..what do you mean by "loader"? I take you mean the magazine or ammo clip.
The cyclic rate of fire of the M-16 is approx 750 rounds per minute.
Quote:
Because at the Checkpoint it was 4 weapons shooting. Each loader 30 shots. Two loaders per weapon. 60 x 4= 240.
About the Check point incident. Not more than a few short bursts would have been fired and not two whole clips per rifle (as you have assumed). Please understand that if all 4 rifles (as you have inicated) fired even 50% of their rounds into the car, then none would have survived.
