Those fake full auto devices are crap. But anyone who thinks full auto fire is just spray and pray doesn't know anything about FA and probably has never used a FA weapon. The idea of FA fire is not to "hose down" people (except in very limited circumstances, like a human wave attack) but to increase the lethal effect by placing several shots in the target area. That is why uncontrollable FA fire (e.g., the M14 rifle) is worse than useless.
A little story: When I first got a TSMG, a friend and I set up five silhouette targets at about 50 feet. I proceded to play John Wayne with a 50 round drum and got one (1) hit on one (1) target. He whipped out an Auto Five and put a full load of 9 00 buck in each target in about 2 seconds. Taught me a lesson; I later learned to use a Thompson, but never forgot that putting nine rounds in each target with the TSMG would have taken a lot longer, and that the Browning would have been a lot more effective.
