My POS Kahr Thompson developed a "burst" capability... they fixed it after I sent it back a few times. It made me damn nervous to receive a psudo-select fire "repaired" rifle in the mail not once, but twice from a manufacturer. Of course, they never fixed its horrendous jamming issues (it was a Kahr, after all).

My buddy Art recently made my M11/9 fire a few bursts. I think he may have done it through some sort of one-in-a-million combination of limp wristing, "clawing" the trigger, and spazmatic arm movements. I have been unable to recreate this failure after another 500 rounds so I have postponed sending it off for service. If it happens again, it's off to the smith. If I wanted a full-auto I would have bought one...

These things happen.
