Special Report BS

“The Skorpion machinegun fires 900 bullets a minute”, a spot of hysterical journalism dressed up as a special report assured us.
    No, it doesn’t.
    The sub-machine gun developed by the Soviet Union for tank crews to use rips through a 32-round magazine in a couple of seconds. Then you have to remove the magazine, slot in a full one, cock the weapon and start shooting again.
    By the time your minute is up, the gun has whizzed through a whole lot less than 900 bullets.
