Depends on the roll-out requirements. Sometimes 15-20 is normal.

What isn’t normal is doing a full-auto test on a select-fire (3-shot burst) weapon.

It’s hard to imagine a practical situation where it would be necessary or even useful to fire 500+ rounds in two minutes.

Are soldiers really carrying 17 mags each anyway?
