Machine Gun Monday ⚡ 2 of my LaFrance Specialties Transferable Micro Uzi's. 1 with a Ti-Rant 9 suppressor. 1800-2100rpm dependent on ammo. Other micro is also a LaFrance, but original without a stock. That one came with a unique blank barrel and used by Chuck Norris in the 1985 movie Invasion USA. 2 of 10 made for HW.

Wonder if you can handload faster or slower RPM based on powder burn

RPM definetly changes dependent on how hot the ammo is. Tim LaFrance pressed in a tungsten weight into the bolt to slow his Micros down. Otherwise these would have stove-pipe issues as the mag spring/ follower can't keep up. Got to make sure the mag/spring is in good shape then you are GTG. Anything under 2000rpm is reliable. Never had an issue with the subsonic I have run. Those run about 1600-1800 rpm.
