As you know it quickly adds up when you count ammo per range day by thousands. Last big shoot I went to I did 750 rounds of tracer from the bren in 2 hours including mag loading time aka letting the gun cool down

    Understood. Insane round count man! I shoot just 100 rounds a time - this prevents a meeting with the minister of home affairs when she checks the balances end of month.
