'bout as fast as you could pull the trigger would be my guess

That's why I said practical rate of fire.

It depends...
If the gun doesn't jam... and all the rounds fire properly, and I have unlimited belts linked together...
Probably 300 rounds per minute (in a perfect world). (TNW MG34)

We were able to get a .22 second split according to an IPSC timer....

What's the target? How far away is this target? How big is this Target? Is this target moving?
Are you noticing a common occurance in this line of questions?
I shot my Reising at steel 8-inch plates at 50 yards.
Of course, that was back in The Olde Days when Canadian Citizens were not being treated worse than the criminals.
Now, of course, Free Citizens can't take them out of the house.
The criminals still seem to manage, but they don't get charged for "transporting a Prohibted Weapon without a permit", nor for "Firing a Prohibited Weapon". They just shoot at each other whenever they want to...... and WE pay the penalty for them.
PRACTICAL rate of fire with a Reising (semi-auto) at steel 50-yard plates: I would call it about 12 rounds a minute, which is the mag capacity, anyway.

Only the MG34 had the Semi/Full auto rocker trigger.

I have the M1919A4 with the tripod and fire the swede 8mm as well.
I did a match where we were required to run up to the firing point, shoot a head sized target at 400 yards, then the remainder of the lane (15 targets up to 300 meters away) unload and move through an obstacle course, climb up onto a bunker, reset up, and fire off another lane of targets. At the end of that run, my team's time was just under 6 minutes and I had 3 rounds left on the belt and one in the chamber.
Shooting at the 400m head size target was the most fun. Basically, you sighted in the target with a few rounds, then sat up and just kept putting rounds into the dust cloud until the target went down.
