As fast as they could in World War II or Korea, though some could fire faster than others. The Browning was medium fast, the Lewis and the Vickers a bit faster, though the Germans had the fastest firing machine guns of all. I don't remember the specific RPM for each gun.

How many rounds per secod could a browning 1919 fire?

The BAR has a selective fire switch, and could be set to either 300 rpm (5 per second) or 500 rpm (8.333... per second). Neither figure is really accurate though as it was fed by 20 round box magazines. And a good BAR man fired in short bursts. The recoil of the .30-06 rounds would throw off the aim after a few rounds, and tend to overheat the weapon.


How fast did the machine gun fire bullets?

Only one bullet is fired at a time from any machine gun. Some machine guns fire more bullets per unit time than others, but they all fire only one bullet at a time. The cyclical rate can vary from 400-450 rounds per minute to 6000 rounds per minute.


Number of shots a machine gun in World War 1 could shoot in a minute?

The cyclic rates of fire for WWI era machine guns was typically between 200 - 880 rounds per minutes. Some examples include: Lewis Gun: 500 - 600 rounds/minute Chauchat: 220 - 260 rounds/minute Maxim MG08: 400 rounds/minute Maxim PM M1910: 600 rounds/minute Browning M1917: 400 rounds/minute Browning M1917A1: 600 rounds/minute Schwarzlose MG M.07/12: 400-580 rounds/minute Schwarzlose MG 16-A: 600 - 880 rounds/minute This isn't a complete list of all the machine used in WWI, but should be fairly representative.


How was the Browning Machine Gun affective in World War 1?

How were machine guns used in WW1?

How many bullets per minute could a machine gun fire at the beginning of world war 1?

The theoretical rate of fire was 400 to 600 rounds per minute. This rate though was rarely achieved and could never be sustained because overheating was a major problem.
