Quoted: 900 RPM!!?? Better bring A LOT of ammo.
And it looks like there is no bolt hold open. The guy doing the mag dumps had to use the charging handle after every mag change.
Otherwise nice.
ETA: I hope the bad guys are not hidding behind a cinder block wall either!

depending on what M16 your using...they are 750rpm...to over 1000rpm for the M231 model.
so whats the difference? If you dont use an automatic weapon properly and fire short bursts, and yes even use it on semi auto except for room clearing ond other extremely close darring doo. you will find yourself holding a hi tech, yet piss poor club.......if you watch films of the navy seals doing room drills...they use fast semi auto fire rather than full auto.
and as far as using the charging handle.......lol you obviosly never shot an HK MP5(it dont lock open on the last shot either) and you have to reach up and yank on the charging handle and lock it to the rear using a U notch in the cocking handle track.....then reach for the magazine...thumb the release.....pull mag from magwell and toss on the ground....then reach for a new one.....insert in magwell till it locks in with a click....then reach up and unlock the cocking handle and let it fly forward, chambering the first round(if your trained on it, there is a fancy slap the charging handle /grasp move)...grasp forward handguard .....then fire.
as far as hiding behind a cinderblock wall.....I seem to recall firing a fair amount of M193 at such things and it didnt much go through either unless you kept shooting the same spot.....and a modern stove like sits in you kitchen is really good cover against M193(tried it....side shots are stopped cold.) Nothing is made for all situations and if you dont have the training to go with the toy...you may not use it to its full advantage and squirt all you ammo up in 2 minutes flat. and you typically dont shoot through really heavy barricades with a submachinegun(any) successfully anyway.
also much past 30-40 yards you use most selectfire light weapons on semi auto anyway...just because something is capable of full auto, dont mean its to be used that way a majority of the time.
exspecially if you are in a LEO situation here,instead of a battlefield in a 3rd world crapfest.
