      Roughly $1 per bullet, roughly 20 rounds per second in the Predator movie, so only about $14,400 for 12 seconds minutes ($240 for 12 seconds). For $200k, you could shoot it for almost 3 minutes hours.

        Wait, I don’t get it. 20 rounds per second for 12 seconds is 240 rounds, right? So at $1 per bullet, that’s $240, right?

        What am I missing?

          I accidentally did the math for minutes instead of seconds. You’re right, it’s $20 per second, $240 for 12s.

      Chris Rock: “You don’t need no gun control, you know what you need? We need some bullet control. Men, we need to control the bullets, that’s right. I think all bullets should cost five thousand dollars… five thousand dollars per bullet… You know why? Cause if a bullet cost five thousand dollars there would be no more innocent bystanders."
