Original Note:
Only a fully automatic rifle (machine gun) can fire 83 rounds in seconds. They are highly regulated. The Firearm Owners' Protection Act of 1986—bans the possession of NEW machine guns. https://www.atf.gov/file/55391/download Previous claims of an AR-15 firing over 10 rounds per second have been debunked. https://checkyourfact.com/2018/02/24/fact-check-ar-15-bullets-a-second/
