I was in an argument with my friend, about the fastest firing machine gun used. I think, that there is some faster firing machine gun, than the German MG-42.
The rules are simple. The gun I am looking for must:
Have fire rate faster than 1200 RPM Can be used as infantry weapon, tank or airplane or even helicopter mounted weapon. And be actually made (no prototypes)
Good luck to all you Jow Forumsommandos responding to this post
Actually we're both wrong, OP is asking for a machine gun, not a canon
David Edwards
would be better to discriminate white from non white

Cute BNKRG Cannon is just oversized gun

The thing is a machine gun shoots bullets, a cannon doesn't
Joseph Miller
Autocannon is technically a gun at least. Not a machine gun indeed.
I found an answer but it was so easy that I'll let you find it out yourself. Just look up machine gun on wikipedia (unless you don't deem it trustworthy enough, if that's the case I have no answer).

Yeah, but what if I need a gun thats open source?

Shells are just big bullets. Cannon is a big gun that shoots big bullets.
... actually you know what? this is more related to technology than half the shit posted here and infinitely more interesting than /v/ leaking out. carry on.

the mg42 was available with a 1500 rpm bolt does this count as a faster firing weapon than yours?
Ayden Thomas
if we go canon its clearly the Mauser BK-27
Easton Collins
The MAC 10 has a fire rate of around 1400 rpm with .380 and certain loads of 9mm.

The answer is the UltraShKAS. It's near minigun speeds. Single barrel aircraft machine gun. 7.62x54r.
