Did BamaAtM make that graphic?

This blatant propaganda infuriates me.
Take heart. From the editorial in today's Shinbone Star:
"It a big graphic that's easily remembered which will embed itself in the hive mind of millions of moronic lemmings who will never question it despite it being bereft of any facts and an example of the most bilious, dangerous and flagrant propaganda of our times. We reply in kind with our own illustration."

What modification makes it shoot 1200 rounds per minute as opposed to the ak47 at 120?
The mini-gun attachment, obviously.

what the hell kind of modification allows an AR15 to defy the laws of physics?
They make it “Fully Semi-Automatic”.

We can own a semi automatic rifle, then we should be able to have full auto guns since they dont shoot as fast. Right?
Years ago, the Brady Campaign published something that stated that semi-automatic rifles were actually more lethal than full auto because the shooter would have more control and thus be more accurate. So semi-auto rifles are too lethal for civilian ownership because of their potential high rate of fire and potential lack thereof...

Semi Automatic Modified - 1,200
What these comments overlook is the difference between cyclical rate of fire and sustained rate of fire.
Every manufacturer on the planet publishes it’s cyclical rate of fire, with full knowledge that no one will ever actually fire the weapon in that manner. With the exception of the crazy AR-15 number (probably inadvertent error), the graphic is fairly accurate with regard to cyclical rate of fire. Accurate numbers were simply used in a misleading manner.

In the army I was taught to shoot a three round burst with one trigger pull.
Same here; early 90s.

that would be about 180 rounds per minute
Assuming 3 bursts per second, and pulling the trigger every second. In my experience there’s a gap of more than a second between the time the first round fires and the next time I pull the trigger.
I’d say an absolute ceiling of 150 rds/second at best. And as you said, that doesn’t even account for the time necessary to change out the magazine and pull the charging handle.

The left is continuing their crusade against the AR-15, the firearm they love to hate. But as is usually the case with the left, their campaign against the AR-15 is devoid of facts. Here are the top five myths about the AR-15.
1. It's an assault rifle. In order for a firearm to be considered an assault rifle, it needs to have the capability of selective fire: switching between semi-automatic and automatic settings. Civilian AR-15s only have the semi-automatic setting, so it cannot be considered an assault rifle. Also the "AR" in AR-15 does not stand for assault rifle, it actually stands for ArmaLite Rifle, the name of the company that first invented the rifle.
2. It's the weapon of choice for mass shootings. A study conducted by Northeastern University concluded that AR-15s and other firearms that they considered to be "assault weapons" consisted of only 24.6 percent of mass shootings, while 47.9 percent of shootings were committed with handguns. AR-15 isn't even the gun of choice for most crimes: It wasn't used in Orlando and is used in exponentially fewer crimes than hand guns. Hands, feet, fists kill more.

3. It can shoot 700 rounds a minute. Rep. Alan Grayson's (D-FL) embarrassingly absurd claim that an AR-15 can shoot 700 rounds in a minute has gone viral because it is impossible for an AR-15 to shoot that many rounds in a minute. Since an AR-15 is a semi-automatic, it can only fire the amount of the times somebody pulls a trigger. It would require a finger with superhuman speed to pull that feat off. Additionally, most automatic weapons typically fire around 500-650 rounds a minute, so even if an AR-15 were an automatic weapon it likely wouldn't be able to fire 700 rounds in a minute.
4. It can be easily changed into a machine gun. It is actually not that easy to convert an AR-15 into an automatic weapon, especially since an AR-15 has a tendency to jam up and stall if it fires too quickly. It is also illegal to convert the AR-15 into an automatic weapon. There are legal methods that can make it easier to fire the trigger, but doesn't necessarily turn it into an automatic weapon.

Same ole, same ole. The left keeps perpetuating their lies
