there are 60 seconds in a minute, 6060 rds per minite = .02 seconds / round
.2 seconds / round ain't the same as .02 seconds a round

it's 10 times slower

the link posted by the OP, states it was done in .02 of a second, and i'm saying it can't be done with a pistol
hell, no man can move his finger twice on a trigger in that amount of time, even if a pistol could .
