No shit. 50 rpm from a Colt 1911. That's at least six reloads.

Bet Jerry Miculek can do it, and still hit the target every time.

I have no doubt he can. He can also fire that AR-15 at the rate stated, as a burst.
Yeah, but it's a bitch carrying 40 mags.

When the Army was evaluating the M1 Garand a member of the team fired 115 aimed rounds in one minute.

I don't know of a video, but, in Scott Duff's The M1 Garand: World War II page 9, there is a line in the general description that states, "One hundred and fifteen aimed shots have been fired in one minute."Now that’s a video I’d really like to see!

Where did you find that information?
Ahh... that explains it. So on the wishful video: ......never mind.
Allowing half-second per clip reload, that’s a new clip reload about every four seconds. An aimed shot every half second. It’d make for an awesome video!

That's actually a funny show.
Back in the day when I was active in competition I have fired 24 rounds in 25 sec using turning targets and a box stock S&W Model 64. Pie plate sized group at 15 yds. After my practice (their lunch) was over a rookie class was brought back to the range. Some loudmouth rookie was complaining (loudly) about how there was no way to fire 12 rounds in 25 seconds (part of the qualifying course) accurately. The head instructor asked me to load all my speed loaders(4), the pistol, and fire as many rounds as I could at the B27 target in 25 seconds using the rookies pistol, starting from the holster. When the targets edged back he handed the rookie his pistol and asked the entire class, "Any Questions". Could have heard a pin drop. Could I do it today, nope. Those were fun times. Practice almost every day.
