When using a long magazine with ten rounds, the rifle's theoretical maximum firing rate can exceed 30 rounds per minute. As long as the soldiers are familiar with the process of changing magazines and firing, achieving this rate of fire is absolutely possible," Maxim introduced with a smile.
The design of both long and short magazines is actually intended to respond to different logistical circumstances.
When logistics are relatively abundant, the long magazine can be fully equipped, allowing soldiers to pour their bullets onto the enemy at will.
When logistics are not very abundant, the short magazine needs to be used to reduce the rate of bullet consumption.
Don't underestimate the few bullets saved by a single rifle. Imagine if there were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rifles? The bullets saved would reach millions, making this design quite meaningful.
