Reply to comment by RedSonGamble in TIL that World War II Spitfires only had about 20 seconds of 'gun time' before running out of ammo, making most movie depictions wildly inaccurate by TimmyIsBaller
You may only get a brief chance to actually get a good shot on an adversary and basically the more rounds you can put downrange in that fleeting moment the better odds you have of hitting.

The F-14 also does in fact have a firing speed selector switch, allowing the pilot to choose between 4000 and 6000 RPM
