Original Note:
Semi-auto firearms do not have a set rate of fire like full-auto firearms. They only fire as fast as the user can operate the trigger. In that regard, an AR-15 has the same rate of fire that a revolver does. Claiming they can fire 500 rounds a min is severely misleading https://www.politifact.com/article/2017/oct/02/difference-between-automatic-and-semi-automatic-we/
