As CIWS go, thats actually a relatively slow rate of fire. The 50 cal, while a great round, doesnt go as far or hit as hard as a 20mm or 30mm as is common in other CIWS. Even 20mm is on the low side for sure one hit kill. Most CIWS favour 30-40mm. Not only heavier but flatter trajectory means greater engagement range
