Welcome to the furry fandom, bro
I often feel a bit out of place as an American that actually has a modicum of understanding about France and the bravery of its people. So much of it goes back to a misrepresentation of what happened in World War II. None of the Allies were prepared in any way for the kind of warfare the Germans were about to unleash-- it's just that France was closest.
It's weird. American stereotype of the French is a bunch of liberal intellectuals and cowards. The British stereotype of the French is a bunch of people with more bravery than sense, a bunch of loonies lacking the calculating nature of the Briton. All this is, of course, hooey.

I'm a little bit of a war nut and I can tell you two this. the only reason france lost to the german blitzkrieg in ww2 is because they difn't have radios in there tanks so they couldn't cordinate effeciently. their tanks could kick german ass any day but it was because of the lack of technology. so the pssibility that they started losing after 1871 is that their were more technologicly advanced than the french.
A lot of transferable full autos are quite high priced. Many going for $50k+. It is just that they needed to be registered before may of 1986, when they stopped registration of new ones.
It is a $200 parts kit, but the papers that go with it are biiig money.

I've often wondered why a lot of fully automatic weapons detail their fire rate in rounds per minute. As far as my knowledge of guns goes (which is minimal at best), it's unusual to sustain fully automatic fire due to severe loss of accuracy unless you're providing suppressive fire, in which case the point isn't neccessarily hitting the target, but keeping them pinned in a location. So why bother listing how many rounds it could shoot in a minute? I think 20 rounds per secone (what that gun comes out to) is an easier measure, unless he's just using the higher number to sound more impressive.
I didn't find a lot of information on the topic, but I honestly think that the reason a lot of weapons refer to rounds/minute instead of rounds/second is simply marketing. Practical or not, it sounds more impressive to prospective buyers that a gun could (theoretically) fire a ludicrous amount of ammunition, and can help make the sale.
Yeah, that's about what I thought. Bigger numbers always sound more impressive. Heck, there aren't likely many weapons that aren't mounted to vehicles that even have the ammo capacity to be on full auto for a minute. Not to mention, when it comes to numbers like 12,000 rounds a minute, that adds up in weight quicker than one might think.
Oh sure, put enough lead in the air and you're bound to hit something that isn't blocked by solid cover. I've never been a fan of "spray and pray"; I'm more a precision and finesse kinda guy in matters like that; skill over brute force. Marksmen and snipers are my sort of gunners for the most part. Unless we're talking low realism, then it's dual wielding pistols. That is by no means an accurate way to shoot, but when you take realism out of the equation, it is pretty cool.
FA has a nice, pretty easy system for this:
you may notice that each submission has a number, like 47773207 for this one. Copy the number of the pages you want to link to in the following order
(#of 'previous' page) , (# of 'first' page) , (# of next page)
separate these three numbers by commas, then put the whole thing in brackets. A sample:
[ 00000002 , 00000001 , 00000003 ]
