Geraldo on Fox this morning said that semi-auto rifles can easily shoot 4 to 5 shots per SECOND. That would require a VERY fast finger. One per second is the M16 specification in semi-auto mode of operation. Of course, none of the Fox talking heads knew enough about guns to call him on it. So Geraldo’s point was that semi-auto are basically machine guns.
I had a Bersa .380 cook off seven rounds in a second. It was so fast that I only felt one recoil. It was repaired and it would only cook of threee round bursts so they replaced it.
He never lets the facts get in the way of his reporting. Am I the only one who remembers him getting busted for carrying his own gun during the gulf war? He probably dose not need that anymore because he is rich enough to hire an armed guard. If he’s on tv I change stations.
Evidently Jerry Rivers is an expert on weapons just as he is on Al Capone’s treasure hide out.
