I've found that shooting single rockets in rapid succession does the same thing. No typing needed
In certain situations, you are right, but here is my rebuttal to your argument: Few to no one can press their button as fast as 0.05 seconds. The eyelid moves slower than the speed needed press the drop button and it's the fastest muscle in the body. "Eyelid speed can reach as high as 100 millimeters per second."{eHow.com

So, many people set salvo's such as myself; I set my salvos to 6 in any American craft that can carry 2 1000lbs and 6 or more rockets. This is for hangars and while you can argue one could press the button 9 times (remember, gotta change weapon too), I press it 3 times; a third of the time means less needed in the ack. In a P38 with 2 1000lbs & 10 rockets, I have to retype my salvo so when I go for ack, or clean up after my previous hangar run. This, for me at least, is hard to do with people chasing me, or trying to get kill me from the ground. Typing is a hindrance trying to reset the salvo in a combat situation.
My math might be off, but I do believe I remembered the formulas correctly.
