How many rounds do a m16 shoot per second?

The M16 rifle can fire at a rate of approximately 700 to 950 rounds per minute, depending on the specific model and configuration. This translates to about 11 to 16 rounds per second. However, the standard M16 used by the U.S. military typically operates in semi-automatic or three-round burst modes, which affects the effective rate of fire in practical use.
