In you writing you stated, "what makes a firearm more deadly is the amount of rounds someone can put down range in a short amount of time". This is a joke in my opinion. I have an AR15, a Beretta CX4 Storm carbine, and a Winchester 190. I can put 100 rounds down range in short order. If those rounds don't hit any living target they are no more deadly than a cap gun. What makes a gun deadly is being able to hit living targets in such a way that it causes death. One hit does more damage than 100 misses.
