That's right commie, this laser needs a mere eight D batteries to pinpoint your location.

Read that as "2 ISO rounds per minute" and that made it even better.

Looks like the times before semiconductor lasers. Gas lasers take up space.
-
Honestly, just lie and say 36 rounds per second. Or go whole hog with 129000 round per hour.

Wiki even has a pic of it amazingly enough.

These Am-180s fuck tho, affectionately nicknamed 'a swarm of angry bees.' Forgotten weapons has a good video on it

How quickly do you need to reload to keep up that rate of fire?
-
The 180's drum mag can carry about 180 rounds of .22lr, so if you held the trigger down you'd dump the mag in around 5 seconds.

5 seconds of fun for every 10 minutes of reloading.

That's a big fuckin' laser.

Would we say a megahertz-pulsed laser fires a million rounds per minute?
Because if that drum is full of bullets it has less staying power than Juicy Fruit gum.

Once, I actually had my hands on a German WWII-era infrared targeting... wand? Scope? ... It was a huge shoulder-mounted flashlight with optics that were used to illuminate aircraft using IR. VERY sophisticated for the time. According to the declassified doc that came with it, the power requirements were insane. Basically it had to be plugged into a mobile generator - probably on a truck or half-track - or the grid, to use it.
So it's not out of the question. G.I. Joe in an alternate WWII timeline could have had laser sights on machine guns, provided they were tethered to a "mobile" power supply like that.
Less "electric rifle," more "optical flamethrower."
