That's probably true.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Though I am interested in how fast one can theoretically empty all 10 rounds in the real world.

iirc, the cyclic of a handgun is ridiculous...
Such as is the case of the Glock 17.
Revolvers arepretty fast, though.

What, did they blow their entire ammo budget on the Glock so they couldn't get any .303 for that Vickers?
And you know damn well that the second video doesn't count since Jerry ain't human...

Assuming it takes about a second to pull the trigger, and a half second for the round to fire, that adds up to 1.5 seconds, although that's a very rough aproximation that's probably wrong. So 1.5 times 10 equals 15 seconds, if my numbers are right, which is unlikely.

I have gotten ~0.3 second split times with my Glock 17, and there's tons of competition shooters faster than I am. Especially so with a nice, tuned 1911 trigger. You could easily get to a rate of fire of one tenth of a second or so, but a regular person just smashing away at the trigger is still probably going to be firing faster than one round per second, just quite inaccurately.

The last part is the kicker. I am hardly an average shooter, but it is very easy for my rate if fire to exceed my accuracy.
Now imagine how fast Jerry would be if he decided to cut his accuracy.

I actually had some plans for a 1911 full auto conversion on my old PC (they were very old and just a .pdf scan of some documents), I'm a bit sad I lost those cuz I wanted to try and mess with it at some point.
