100 rounds in 3 seconds = 33.3 per second.
33.3 X 60 = 1998 rounds per minute.

1998 rounds per minute = rotary cannon, NOT a mere ‘assault weapon.”

Nah. Just your old run-of-the-mill MG42,M53 SARAK, or MG3 with the light bolt.

Any single barrel weapon will overheat rapidly under sustained fire near 2,000 rounds per minute. I was not, of course, referring to burst fire.
