If Full Autos were cheap again, and you had your druthers,

[Maverick223]

Hoo boy, no. More like 650rpm.

Found out it was 1200rpm (changed in the above), but later versions were made with a slower cyclic rate.

 

[Deltaboy1984]

I am a simple guy all I really want is a Thompson Sub with a couple of drums.

 

[Maverick223]

for those mavericks who are extremely hard headed and did not answer the question

Hey Doc. why are you always picking on me?

Within your constraints (must have burst) I'll take 2rnd, but only in an AN-94.

 

[2RCO]

By your own admission, you have no clue how practical any type of mechanical burst mechanism is. I mean no offense in this, just making a casual observation.

True--In my jumbled brain 3 round burst seems logical. But I'll defer to real world experience.

I've been lucky enough to shoot a full-auto Thompson twice. Both times I found it very easy to fire pairs, three-round bursts, and single shots.

After a little trigger time I could as well, but in my case this was at a range where it was under super safe conditions and I wasn't under any stress whatsoever. I would think in a combat situation fine motor skills might deteriorate leading to pray and spray. So being limited to a burst might conserve ammo and give you a better chance to engage multiple targets before the ammo is gone.

Once again this is purely hypothetical from my standpoint. I'll always defer to guys that have been there and done that!

私にとっての3つ。

I might not shoot it much, but would just like to have one.

 

[Owen]

i don't see the point of the burst mechanism. I haven't fired many of the super high rate guns, but up tp 900 rpm, I have no problem shooting 1,2,3 or four rounds with the selector on auto.

I think the people that are concerned with emptying the magazine probably don't have a lot of experience with autos.

 

[RonE]

which one would you rather have on your select fire dial, in addition to semi auto and rock n roll?

rock n roll: Hold the gun up over your cover and empty the magazine while squinting eyes and gritting teeth, style points if the magazine/pistol grip is horizontal.

On the other hand when you aim and direct fire, all the time, keeping control of the weapon, you have: "Group therapy"

 

[Eightball]

If the mechanism was setup like the.....is it the ANS-94 with the chain mechanism that allows for 2 rounds at an unusually high cyclic rate? Outside of some off-beat thing like that, I'd prefer a straight up FA, though if given time I'm sure I could think of a few weapons where I'd rather have a burst than a full auto switch, like maybe an M14 or G3 or something, where too many=way the heck off target.

 

[dacavasi]

The Thompsons I used to watch the local P.D. practice with on the police gun range on Monday nights didn't have anything CLOSE to a 1200/minute feed rate. In fact, they sounded more like a de-tuned old Harley, when they fired on full auto.

 

[nwilliams]

With the ridiculous price of ammo right now how about one round burst

 

[Pack]

2 round

Because if I truly could get anything I wanted, both of the guns I'd want most (apart from an MG 42) would have the feature:

1) A real HK UMP (45 ACP)
2) "Abakan" AN-94 (5.45x39)

 

[paintballdude902]

i just want a fullauto .22lr that way i can afford to shoot it

 

[runrabbitrun]

Safety, semi auto, 3 round and full auto would be nice.

 

[Antihero]

I got a chance to fire a UMP in 40 and liked it quite a bit, of course it was the only full auto gun ive ever fired. Bursts were fairly easy as well even for someone who was basically untrained.

If the head isn't exposed, then the goblin isn't aiming. If the goblin isn't aiming, then he doesn't present much of a threat.

Option C) The goblin, having not exposed his head, does not see MTM move to a different position. As goblin comprehends the silence, he gazes around corner, but is surpised when nothing happens. MTM then draws bead on back of globlin's head from flanking position and fires single round...

Option D) MTM simply aims for pelvis/hip/genitals

Option E) [active shooter, non-military] Again, without head exposed, goblin is unable to both lay down accurate and effective fire, or keep track of enemy movement. MTM withdraws to safe area and makes a sandwhich while cops deal with goblin by heavily outnumbering him and flanking him.

As you can see, I had plenty of options.

I would like to see, however, a guy expose his armored body without exposing his unarmored head. That seems like it would be tricky, so kudos to fictional armored goblin for accomplishing it.

MTM, you have a point. It is pretty hard to expose armor without expose unarmored portions.

Still, the ability nearly guarantee 2 shots into the same hole is pretty useful, in my opinion.

 

[sarduy]

safe - auto - 30 round burst

 

[jaholder1971]

Most of us can't find factory ammo right now and reloading component prices have shot through the roof. Who can afford to feed FA stuff right now if they had it?

 

[Roadwild17]

I have no experience with FA or burst guns, but if burst became legal tomorrow, I would be ordering something with that feature and be pretty happy.

I think I would prefer a FA with a slower rate of fire ~600-750 RPM for sub and intermediate cartridges and under 500 RPM for full rifle.

And a 22lr with around 1500 ROM just for fun

This is just my thought and I have no experience with FA

 

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

MT Man fights dirty - he aims for your talley-whacker!

 

[Heck]

I chose three round burst but my choice in guns would be an M2. Nothing says get off my lawn like Ma Deuce.

 

[jhco]

It would depend on the firearm. 9mm carbine 3rd burst 45 carbine 2rd burst, small caliber rifle 5.7,5.56,7.62x39 3rd burst larger caliber rifle 7.62x51 and other 2rd burst.
