On another forum folks are talking about the best rate of fire for subguns. People who shoot subgun matches seem to be most satisfied with rates of around 600 rpm. Those who have "seen the elephant," suggest 900 to 1000 rpm is better because three round bursts don't take so long and will generally stay in a fairly small group. Others fall in between somewhere, or like the sloooooow rate of the M3/M3A1 (Greasegun). What do you guys have to say on the best rate of fire for subguns?

I fall in the 600 rpm camp myself.
