Im going to side with M77man If want to smoke somebody....controlled pair or failure drill.

burst just wastes ammo.

IF you want to surpress/kill the enemyby means of a high volume of firepoweruse a SAW better yet a 240 or M2.

It's semi-auto or with the flip of a small switch becomes a 3 round burst (which is worthless).
I wouldn't call the 3-round burst worthless. Its puts 3 rounds into the chest of the enemy much more accurately then full auto. I'll take 3 shots in a 4 inch target with one trigger pull than 3 shots in a 2 inch target with 3 trigger pulls. JMHO
And how is the M249, M2, and M240 not a waste of ammunition!?!? Especially the M249 in a standing or kneeling position? I beleive they teach you in basic to use short 5-10 round bursts out of those, not only because it keeps the barrel cool but its also more accurate. I'll take the 3 round burst of the M-16A2 over full auto of the AK. But we shall agree to disagree
