It is not necessary to know the firing power of a particular gun 16 rpm, 47 rpm, 3000 rpm ... all way to much for a private citizen.

This appears to be a new tactic of the crowd that adores their guns ... those of us that do not have a gun fetish are not interested ... just as I am not interested in other fetishes. Those that do not have a potential to impact (or kill me or others) are of no concern to me ... gun nuttery, now that is an entirely different subject. The fetish of others has the potential to impact me and other innocents.
