They fire roughly 2 kg of ammo per second, that's 32kg in total, against an aircraft that weighs around 9000 kg.
Mr winny 9600 round per minute still makes 160 a second. Yes this is also in theory since I don't have 9600 bullets to divide into equal portions to prove it to you. So in regards to all the arguments I presented, you come up with 32kg compared to 9000kg? Sorry, I’m not even going to comment on how irrelevant this remark is.
Anyway, if you fit the plane all with tracers, this will give you more of an indication of the rate of fire (which is still a bit low considering what is supposed to be spewed)
