What is the MK19 rapid rate and its burst pause?

• A. 60 rpm, 3-5 end burst, 2-3 sec pause
• B. 40 rpm, 3-5 rd burst, 4-5 sec pause
• C. 450-550 rpm, continuous burst
• D. 325-375 rpm, continuous burst

Answer: (D)

The MK19’s rapid rate is about 325–375 rounds per minute. In practice, you don’t fire forever; you deliver short bursts of 3–5 rounds and then pause for about 2–3 seconds before the next burst to manage heat and keep accuracy. So the rate range given matches the MK19’s rapid fire capability, and the idea of a brief pause between bursts is what keeps the gun controllable and from overheating. The other rates shown are far from the weapon’s actual capability, and the typical operation isn’t true continuous fire.
