I hate making machine guns go “RATATATATAT”, but there’s not much else you can do.

Tadashi, what makes you think he’s going to tell the truth?
What’s wrong with “RATATATATAT?” It may be a touch dated, but it is a classic sound FX. The only other sound I can think of would be “B-B-BRRRAAATTT” & I don’t know that that’s really any better.
Agreed. Rat-a-tat-tat implies a slow rate of fire, around 600 rpm or less, that is appropriate for a magazine fed rifle that you don’t want to reload only a few seconds after you squeeze the trigger.
I’m in the Ratta-tat-tat camp. There’s always Dakka-dakka-dakka, but that might be best for a heavier automatic weapon or machinegun. For me, B-b-brrrat is a higher rate of fire, like a submachinegun.
And here I was hoping to see the Slate guy holding a Tommygun and wearing a Fedora. If he looked like Edward G. Robinson, all the better…
“Take that, you filthy Copper… er, Ninja!”
Oh George, not the livestock!
