Combat in SE5 will be real-time. So instead of arbitrary, discrete combat turns, you can specify a weapon's fire rate in milliseconds. Thus, you could do something like the machine gun effect you want by specifying a very rapid fire rate, such as 50 ms, which would give 20 rounds per second. Granted, there would be no reloading between clips of ammo, but it's a start... heck, for an example of how this works, check out SJ's P&N mod for Starfury, which also uses real-time combat. (Not his P&N mod for SE4, that's something completely different!)
