    1 round every 20 seconds because anything else is considered rapid automatic assault fire mode.

    >tfw when Texans can only shoot at the same rate as well-drilled Napoleonic infantry.

      Well drilled riflemen, even. Elite musket regiments were expected to consistently shoot 4 or even 5 rounds a minute under optimal conditions, and 6 wasn’t unheard of for individuals. Which is of course why they used muskets and not rifles, another 300 rounds has an accuracy all of its own.
