An 800-round magazine makes me think of the super-heavy tanks like the Panzer VIII Maus and the Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte. Having such firepower sounds awesome until you realize how impractical such weapons would really be.

So that's almost 45 lbs of ammo in a minute. That's just too stupid for words. The M-16a4 can fire between 700-950 rounds per minute, depending on the source. So what? What does that rate of fire do to the shooter's circular error probable? There is some number, (I don't know what it is) where more rounds per minute don't suppress you any more than a few rounds per minute less.
I'm pretty sure that one round, or a three round burst impacting in my immediate vicinity every 5-10 seconds is going to make me wonder if I am right with Jesus. And you don't get any better suppression than every time a round is fired, one of the enemy is hit.
Additionally, accuracy is not a function of overall length of the service rifle, or barrel length. With a scope, I'd assume my zero is off every time I hit and roll. With Iron sights, accuracy is a function of the distance from rear sight aperture to front sight post.

I think the rounds per minute this weapon can fire is just click-bait. The Tavor is also magazine-feed, making the maximum rate of fire even more irrelevant. (Imagine trying to fire and switch-out twenty-seven 30-round magazines in a single minute!)
