Does anyone know the "typical" cyclical rates of the following M16 machine gun configurations?
300 Blackout, 10" barrel, 187gr to 220gr subsonic, suppressed
5.56x45mm, 16" barrel, 55gr, supersonic, suppressed
From what I've read, 700 to 950 rounds per minute is "typical" for M16s shooting 55gr supersonic ammunition non-suppressed. Suppressors increase the cyclical rate due to an increase in back pressure but there are a bunch of other variables too. Maybe a stop watch is the only way to really know.
