Ignore old post. I read the OP last night, came on today, and STILL "posted without reading"

--IMO:

I think full auto or a burst has a place in combat. I would imagine it would help you hit a moving target, or one thats popping back and forth. Three dice in the game instead of one.

This is kind of how i feel about things like 5.56 and 5.7, they are multiple hit scenarios, and their effectiveness is based on landing 2-3, or in the case of the 5.7, 10-15 hits.

Im sure people will disagree with that, im not saying either isnt deadly. Im just saying small fast bullets go hand in hand with automatic fire, and currently the armed forces like both.

Give 'em semi auto SCAR's in 7.62 I say!
