So a Springfield 1861 has a fire rate of 100 while a Springfield 1855 has a fire rate of 125. Is it reasonable to say that in the time an 1861 loads and fires 100 rounds an 1855 will load and fire 125 rounds?
Is it reasonable to say a Henry, which has a fire rate of 50 and a magazine of 15, could theoretically load and fire 750 rounds in the time it takes an 1861 to load and fire 100 rounds? (50 complete reloads x 15)
