Real sustained rates of fire are far better. That's why I'm a fan of 
the Vickers family of MGs (water cooled of course).

250 round belts
450-550 rounds per minute.
Water jacket for keeping that barrel nice and cool.
You can keep a vickers running four hours with a few good crews and 
enough ammo and water. You'll eat through barrels in the MG42 long 
before then.
