Rather than make the rate of fire as fast as possible, I wonder if it was based on the time a person typically takes to collapse after getting hit, exposing the next guy just in time for the next shot. Nailing that timing would give the best results with the least ammo and require the least skill to use. You could point the thing, duck behind cover and hold the trigger.
