Rate of fire

The speed at which a weapon fires rounds. This can vary depending on the type of weapon and the setting of the gas regulator.

Cyclic fire

A type of fire where rounds are continuously fired at a rate of 600 to 1000 rounds per minute, depending on the gas regulator setting.

Normal or Rapid fire

A type of fire where rounds are fired at a slower pace, with pauses in between. This can be either 100 rounds per minute with longer pauses or 200 rounds per minute with shorter pauses.

Flexibility

The weapon's ability to switch from one type of target to another quickly, like switching from ground targets to air targets.
