Robust Luger action? High ejection?

27 /sec = 1620/min, correct??? My god.

I was watching a full auto Luger by Werle.

He seems to be able to release no less than 3-4 bullets in full auto with one trigger pull. It is a fast rate of fire.

But i think any full auto hand guns I saw on youtube [ GLOCK, 1911, TREJO] seem to have a very similar rate of fire which tells me that the Luger's action can't not much faster than the rest.



I'm deducing that for safe action the weight of slides/ toggle and main springs + distance and speed of their travel for a single round have to be very similar. Pistols must have much higher rate of fire than long guns in full auto.

I believe the max rate of fire i saw on even open bolt guns was in the range of 1800.[mg45]

Mark Serbu made an incomplete[ no trigger] .22 machine gun that shoots 2000/min( simple open bolt, blow back design]

Just thinking out loud.
