Smile Automatic Weapon's Fire Rates

I just returned to Twilight2000 after a long hiatus. I like your formulas. I have done a great deal of competitive shooting using timers. I currently use a newer generation Club timer and have discovered an interesting trait of the class 3 weapons used in some of the matches I have attended. I have discovered that experienced shooters who are trying to hit targets are using a rate of fire that kind of matches with a Twilight2000 rate of fire based on a weapon's cyclic rate. To match rates of fire in Twilight2000 with real world rates, all one has to do is divide a weapon's cyclic rate by 100 and round down. So an AK with a 600 rpm cyclic rate would have a ROF of 6. A MAC 10 would have a ROF of 10 (.45) or a ROF of 12 (9mm). This is an easy way for a GM to vary his automatic weapons' rate of fire and still have realism in the game.
