A standard machine gun fires 450-1200 rounds per minute, 600

multibarreled weapon and can fire 4000-6000 rpm (100 per
second) and reloads each barrel as soon as it is fired.

The rate of fire for a period of a fraction of a second is
not all that important, what is the rate of fire for a
period of 5 seconds, 10 minutes?

A shotgun firing one shell with 300 pellets in the load is
firing about 1,800,000 pellets per minute.

Exactly what I was thinking. It is as good as a shotgun huh?
