6. By magazine I was referring to the Surefire ones the LV shooter had

The Surefire magazines the LV shooter had were 100 round magazines while the ones you are using in your video are 30 round magazines.

As his magazine capacity was 3.3 times what you are using in your video, there would have been less breaks to cool down due to fewer magazine changes. Also, due to his bump fire stock, he was shooting faster than you in your video. Lastly, it appears that you are using 7.62x39 which has a pressure of 45k while he was using 5.56 which has a pressure of 55k.

My initial point being that with a suppressor, his gun would have stopped working sooner with a suppressor than without a suppressor is still valid. While you got 330 rounds off, you had the advantages of a lower pressure round, brief breaks while changing more magazines and a lower rate of fire so I would expect that he would not have gotten off nealy as many rounds as you did.
