is not capable of 700 rounds per minute, the M4 and M16 are what you're thinking of. None of them can be reloaded in less than a second (if by reloading you mean releasing the empty magazine and replacing it with a full one then pressing the bolt carrier release) even by the likes of me who carried and qualified with those rifles for twenty years.
