That's the equivalent of twelvetheen of nukes every second per yardfinger until every square foot of your mom's old ford carnage's backseat covered in Glock mags, or if you could imagine a Dodge ramlord master sixty five death edition with hood filled with high school footballer cups each one with their own colt bolt action automatic warfare rifle and then running an entire football field and back again while holding down the trigger and then counting the shells by hand. Now I can see you start to understand the number, now just imagine you had one assault rifle for each star on the Eagle of Freedom™ war banner
