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.

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

It's semi-auto or with the flip of a small switch becomes a 3 round burst (which is worthless).

the thing with full auto is when you nee dlead down range you need alot of lead down range be it a 2 inch group or a 2 foot group
i think that is why there is little to no reason for a person to have a full auto or even a 3 round burst
we as civilans do not need to go out and shoot at a group of people
But with that side i support peoples want or right to own these weapons

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

If you've ever handled full auto weaponry, then you would understand the value of a burst selector. I'll take the burst over unlimited full auto any day, as I find myself trying to make controlled bursts with manual trigger control. The problem is a lot of rounds get thru fast even when you try your hardest.
