A 500-round Ammunition Belt, against a rotary machine gun with a maximum rate of fire of 6,000 rounds per minute but limited to 3,000, could actually be emptied in just ten seconds!
Of course, no machine gunner would dump all his ammunition in ten seconds. They would maintain fire while controlling their rate of fire, but even so, a 500-round Ammunition Belt would last no more than a minute in such intense combat.
But one minute was already enough time for them to replace it with a fresh Ammunition Belt.
Even if the 200 machine guns were not firing simultaneously and only half of them were shooting, those 100 machine guns still compressed the entire defensive line. The terrifying metal storm battered the Taotie's bodies like a violent tempest.
Countless severed limbs and green blood flew through the air. In less than ten minutes after the first clash, at least several thousand Taotie had died on the first defensive line, including at least a hundred Guardian Taotie.
Jiang Yan Hai did not fire. He had been observing through binoculars. From what he could see, 7.62mm bullets could penetrate the Guardian Taotie's Bone Shields, though not with a single shot. Those Bone Shields could withstand at least dozens of 7.62mm rounds, and obvious dents had appeared in them.
After all, so many bullets could not all strike the same spot. If they did, perhaps around ten rounds would be enough to pierce a Bone Shield. Bullets had far greater penetrating power than blunt attacks such as large rocks.
The Taotie in the distance suddenly stopped moving. The moment Jiang Yan Hai saw that, he knew they were receiving orders from the Beast King.
After only a few seconds of stiffness, the Guardian Taotie at the very front suddenly lowered their bodies.
