Actually I was trying to make a point. You cannot buy combat ready vehicles in the US, but with the right licenses, you can own anything from a mac-10 to a minigun that shoots 6000 rounds a minute.
The only thing stopping anyone is price.
My, 6,000 RPM is impressive. Almost as high as some race car motors.
Being formerly in the audio world, I automatically recognize this as 100 Hz, or 100 CPS in the old days.
Since we hear power line frequency as an octave above the actual frequency, due to magneto-restriction causing a 'pop' on both sides of the cycle, if one were to fire this gun in Europe, with their 50 Hz line frequency, some audio engineer would say "where in the f*ck is that hum coming from?" Audio engineers hate line frequency hum. I don't care how many "connect shield at source, disconnect at load" or other "ground lift" or other nostrums attempted, I only ever really got rid of hum in the control room or in the PA by voodoo magic.
For the curious, 100 cycles per second can be closely approximated by plucking the 6th string on guitar, third fret, or by the piano key residing at the upper of the two white keys within boundary of the three black keys occurring below the C that is one octave below middle C.
(Equal temperament tuning for that G, per modern pitch reference, is actually 97.9987 CPS, but the human sense of pitch isn't that picky, so anyone with the ear to recognize such a thing at all would call 100 Hz a G and call it a day).
