Miculek Makes 16 Shots in 4.01 Seconds with 9mm Revolver
How fast can a human shoot a revolver? The legendary Jerry Miculek answers that question in this video. Using his new, 9mm model 929 revolver, Jerry shoots 16 shots in 4.01 seconds, with a reload*. His splits between shots were running 0.16-0.17 seconds. That works out to a peak rate of fire of 353 rounds per minute, faster than some early-era machine guns. Even counting his reloads, his sustained rate of fire would be 239 rounds per minute, faster than a 19th-century Gatling gun. Note: If you are attending the NRA Annual Meetings in Indianapolis this weekend, you can meet Jerry Miculek at the Hornady booth (#6361) on Friday or Saturday at 4:00 PM.
| 16 shots w reload | Split Times | Peak Rate of Fire | Sustained Rate of Fire |
| 4.01 seconds | 0.16-0.17 seconds | 353 rds per min | 239 rds per min |
Smith & Wesson 929 Eight-shot Revolver, Jerry Miculek Edition
Jerry really likes his JM Signature Edition model 629 revolver. Produced by the S&W Custom Shop, this 9mm handgun features a ported, broach-cut barrel plus a titanium cylinder. Jerry says the low-mass titanium cylinder reciprocates very fast, making for a responsive rapid-fire revolver.
*This was time on target. Total time including initial reaction time was 4.88 seconds.

Thats quit a pick with the two bullets out of the muzzle!!
Can see the bullets leaving the barrel in the the slo-mo. Any idea what velocity he is getting as there doesn’t seem to be much recoil.
Love the reload btw.
@Rikky lee he said a 125 power factor. I think that would be 147 grains at 850fps.
JM said that the loads were 125 power factor. He also said that the bullets were 147 grains. So, the velocities should be around 850 fps.
Why does Smith & Wesson destroy all credibility of this video, its new 929 revolver and Mr. Miculek by faking two bullets less than a foot apart in the opening screen shot?
Editor: That’s a screen shot. It’s the same bullet, captured a few mili-seconds apart. Nobody tried to fake anything. This is an artifact of the filming process using very high-speed cameras running thousands of frames per second.
