How fast would you expect a man who can run 12 rounds through a 6-shot revolver in under three seconds to run a "beta-dump" on a 10-round AR mag?

How about 0.39 seconds?

If anybody's counting, that works out to 1538 rounds/minute, almost identical to what his buddy gets with the bumpfire stock.



Somebody remind me what the cyclic rate of the M4 is?
 
I heard that Miculek could actually fire a revolver faster than a semi-auto pistol. He has to WAIT for the semi auto to cycle, and he could cycle the cylinder of a revolver faster than a semi auto pistol could cycle. That is DAMNED fast. I would be thrilled to be able to shoot a semi-auto as fast as it will cycle.
 
M4 RPM is around 800, maybe a little more IIRC. I forget, but that's close.

When Miculek fires the revolver, it actually sounds faster than the M4.

Geissele's 3G and 3GSD (especially the SD with the flat bow) trigger is advertised to fire about that fast, and I can attest it's damn fast. Who needs a bumpfire stock with those available? And it's a nice trigger, if not a bit touchy.
 
Actually on the video he said total time of 1.39 with a reaction time of .25. That's actually .12-.13 splits and about 460 rpm. It looks like Jerry was the first and last shot so that's his actual time. If you watch his videos his revolver times tend to be around .15 - .18 depending on gun and set up. With a pistol he is a bit faster. I shot with him on a super squad at the North American championships a few years back and he ran a string on three targets with a .38 Super Open gun that was .11 on target and .13 transitions. It was fast enough to make the other GMs on the squad run over to check the splits on the timer, that's impressive.
