==== 1,000,000 rounds per minute ÷ 60 ≈ 16,667 rounds per second. ====

That means:
* In 0.06 seconds, you’ve already fired 1,000 rounds.
* In 1 second, you’d empty 16,667 rounds → that’s like dumping an entire belt of ammo in the blink of an eye.

Some experimental/advanced guns (like specialized metal storm–type systems) have approached hundreds of thousands of rounds per minute in bursts, but those are very short, preloaded, and not practical “machine guns” in the normal sense.
