I would like the option to switch from semi to full auto on a weapon just to be able to do it . Gonna cost a lot of $$$$$$$ to fire off those rounds. Many semi autos are really fast today. That’s why it should be no big deal if you want full auto without having to pay TAXES out the behind to own one.
Even fixed the floating firing pin on my Russian SKS so it WOULDN’T go auto on me if it stuck. Don’t want to be illegal.
Wonder why the US military switched from cyclic full auto to burst? Not soley for logistics, but mainly for controllability and increased hit probability.
Rarely is FA an advantage with an AR. Too light a caliber in 556 for sustained effect, too heavy in a shoulder arms in 762 for controlled fire.
Suppressive fire (semi-ramdom fire in the direction of a threat) is about as effective as tossing a footbal down field randomly in the super bowl.
Sustained fire in SA is the key to successful engagements, aimed, well applied fire wins/hits.
Want supressive ability in short range situations? A 12 ga with 12-15 pellets of 00 buck from a semi/pump combat shotgun delivers more than a magazine fed AR in FA. (9 rounds times 12=108 30 cal pellets in about 2 seconds compared to 30 22 cal bullets in 2 second (at 900 rpm) yeah, range is lacking, but we are talking close quaters anyway-spraying an AR at 200 m is quite rediculous.
Don’t believe all the FA hype in the gun rags.
