Best Answer

that would depend on number of rounds being fired. Lets say 10 rounds. I would estimate 10 rounds could be gotten off in about 7 to 8 seconds..................

Which is a better personal carry handgun a revolver or a semiautomatic?

It depends, revolvers are much more reliable than semiautos due to their simple design, however revolvers shoot much slower and have limited capacities. Basically, revolvers will fire 99.99% of the time and are easy to maintain, however in a fire fight or other self defense scenario a semiautomatic will be able to put more shots onto a target leading to a higher chance of incapacitation of the target. My personal preference is a semiautomatic which i clean once a week to prevent jamming and misfires.

What is the difference between different guns like shotguns handguns and revolvers?

Generally speaking, shotguns are designed to be fired from the shoulder. (You place the butt of the gun against your shoulder to fire it). A shotgun is considered a "long gun" and is much longer than a handgun, and fires a different type of ammunition. A revolver is a handgun, but I'll assume you meant pistol and revolvers. A revolver has a rotating cylinder that holds normally somewhere between about 5 and 7 rounds of ammunition in multiple chambers, although some hold more. Each time the trigger is pulled, a fresh round rotates in line with the barrel so it can be fire. A (semiautomatic) pistol is fed by a magazine and has a reciprocating slide that ejects the empty casing and then loads a new cartridge into the chamber (it only has one chamber, not multiple. That's kind of the short version. If you want more information, feel free to email me.

What is asemi-auotomatic machine gun?

There is, technically, no such firearm. Semi-automatic describes a firearms that will fire one time with each pull of the trigger and requires no other action than loading by the user. A machine gun, by definition, is a firearm that will continue firing the entire time that the trigger is pulled, stopping only when the user lets off on the trigger or the ammunition runs out. There are, currently, offered for sale, firearms that were at one time, originally made as machine guns or select fire (either full auto or semi-auto selectable by the user) and have been converted or re-manufactured to fire on semiautomatic.
