MSGL is capable of firing how many rounds in how many seconds?

• A. 8 rounds in 3 seconds
• B. 4 rounds in 2 seconds
• C. 6 rounds in 5 seconds
• D. 6 rounds in 3 seconds

Answer: (D)

When you think about firing capability, the key idea is controlled bursts: how many rounds you can deliver in a short period while still keeping the weapon on target and avoiding recoil spoiling accuracy. For the MSGL, training emphasizes a short, controllable burst rather than continuous fire.

Six rounds in about three seconds is the best match because it represents a practical, controllable burst length—enough rounds to suppress or threaten the target area without losing sight alignment or letting recoil push the muzzle off target. It translates to a pace of roughly two rounds per second, which you can maintain accuracy with during a brief burst.

The other options push for faster or longer bursts that are harder to control, or present burst lengths that don’t align with the typical training standard for a single, well-aimed suppression burst.
