Very short, very sweet full auto Friday

Just found this video clip on Frag Out Magazine's Facebook page of the 416 A7 in full auto:

For those who don't have FB or want to watch in higher quality:

That's some serious camo... Does anyone know what it's the mag pouch looking things on his back? Are those flares or something? They don't quite look like mags.

That must be a hoot!

Is it just me, or did that cycle rate seem really slow?

The 416A5 and subsequent variants are claimed by HK to have a rate or fire of 850rpm. However, the M27 (based on earlier variants of the 416) is rated at 700-850rpm. Could also be the ammo they used in the shoot. Then again, HK said that the 433 got its rof bumped up to 850rpm in 2018 when the gen 5 version was engineered. But the recent All4Shooters article says it's back down to 700rpm. So who knows here, though I'm betting that it could be ammo related, or possibly it was left in the suppressed setting on the gas regulator.
