The M-134D and M-134DT fires 50 rounds every second, or about 3,000 rounds per minute. Meaning the six barrels rotate up to 1112 RPM in half a second.

Name some guns that are used in the army?

In the U.S. Army right now, soldiers are issued M16A2 rifles chambered in 5.56x45mm (.223 Remington to civilians) that fires both 3-round burst and semi-automatic. This model was an improvement over the M16A1 by adding a windage sight, changing the auto fire to burst, and adding a shell deflector. Slowly the M16A4 is replacing the A2 because it has a removable arry handle with RIS sight rails so scopes can be mounted. The A4 is also a burst rifle. The M16A3 was the full-auto version of the A2 and was never favored by the U.S. Army because of the full-auto fire. The M16A2 and M16A4 can be fitted with an M203 grenade launcher chambered in 40mm underslung, which adds 5lbs to the rifle but makes it a multi-purpose weapon. The M4A1, the full-auto carbine version of the M16 has a removable carry handle with the RIS rails and a collapsing stock. This is lighter and more versatile than the M16 so soldiers tend to favor it. This gun is also chambered in 5.56x45mm. It is a spin-off of the Colt CAR-15 Commando series, with the biggest difference being the removable carry handle. The Beretta M9 is the issued sidearm of the U.S. Army, which replaced the M1911A1 during the Gulf War. The gun is chambered in 9mm and is basically the military grade version of the civilian Beretta 92FS. Support gunners use the FN M249 SAW (squad automatic weapon) which uses 100 or 250 round belt drums for 5.56x45mm. This gun is the American version of the FN Minimi with a modified carry handle and a heat shield on the barrel. They also use Mk. 46 and Mk. 48 LMGs in 7.62x51mm NATO, which are basically sized up FN Minimis with different barrel lenghts. The M60E4 was also released but the FN M240B is replacing this gun. Other versions of the M240 including the C and G, which are spade grip versions for mounting on tanks. The Browning M2HB in .50 BMG (12.7x99mm in metric) is still in use since WWII mounted on tanks, humvees and other armorer vehicles. On some vehicles, the General Electrics M134 Minigun is mounted for some serious firepower in a short amount of time. Hope this helps.

The rate of fire on an MG42 varied depending on what bolt was used, but optimal settings allowed for 1,500 rounds per minute.
