Going off of those stats for an m3 sherman form earlier, calling it 100 rounds, with a rof of 20rpm.....if you could get every shot off without the gun going down...you'd have about five minutes of fire, at which point you'd have slung something like 150 pounds of tnt downrange. Realistically, you're not going to maintain that rate of fire in combat. If the other guys saw somebody sounding off like that he'd be priority target no-1

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
