Greater ability to stay on target gives the shooter a higher probabilty of hitting the target. Thats what Charge 7 was saying. Sustained fire in auto with the A1 caused muzzle rise which caused all but the first few rounds to go high.
As far as the amount of rounds fired in 10 seconds it's possible with a reload. But I tend to go with sleepyscout. There were probably crew serves involved as well as M249'S.
