"That said, WTF?? 12 magazines - 360 rounds fired in half an hour from the M4? Plus 600 more from the M-249? This is just one of each weapon. Can we assume the other soldiers were firing their weapons at approximately the same rate? That puts thousands of rounds downrange in half an hour, against what - 200 some insurgents? How many of them did they actually hit?"

300 AND 600 ROUNDS IN A "HALF AN HOUR". NO. MORE LIKELY 5 MINUTES. firefights have nothing to do with reality or reason. i am not a john wayne, just a saigon 68 guy.
