I believe, without experience, that single aimed fire is superior. Yet there could be times a full auto mag dump could be useful as suppressing fire, especially if there are others to move and close. That is why I favor select fire being removed from the NFA and available for sale again.
Back 20 years ago, I got the chance to rent the EXACT HK MP5 that was used in movie Die Hard.
60 rounds were gone very quickly.
Just as quickly you realize full auto is seldom a good idea.
Full auto has it’s uses and places..
This is a “camel’s nose” argument.
If it’s ok to ban one thing because of some reason, then the premise that the government gets to decide is made, and the rest is merely ceremonial.
I don’t want an auto firearm for myself, but they must be (re)-allowed or all rights are just waiting for “you don’t need that” to die.
Spray and pray. 😏
Right there, stopped reading.
The writer does not know shiite about full auto capable weapons.
The M-14 was the only full auto firearm I shot that came close to being uncontrollable, at least before the magazine was empty.

OK. I’ll save the full mag dump for the final Banzai charge.
Just another covert attack to weaken the 2nd Amendment to fix a problem that doesn't exist?
700 horsepower cars that can do an honest 160 miles per hour or more aren't practical in real life either.
And there are about 10,000 auto crash deaths per year attributed to speeding.
Yet there are no Karens or other busy-body do-gooders constantly questioning the legal sale and possession of high powered super-cars.
On the other hand, how many deaths per year are there from abuse of fully automatic firearms in the USA?
"Only two incidents have been recorded since 1934: one was a doctor or dentist
(exact details are sketchy) who used his legally owned sub-machine gun in a
murder. The other is much more well known, on September 15th, 1988, Patrolman
Roger Waller of the Dayton, OH police department, used his fully automatic
MAC-11 .380 caliber sub-machine gun to kill a police informant. Waller plead guilty
in 1990, and he and an accomplice were sentenced to 18 years in prison."
Fun doesn’t have to be practical, but Fun is useful, therefore full autos can indeed be useful.
To say nothing about the cost of all the ammunition you would go thru on a day at the range.
Shhhhh
Gomer here must never have actually handled a real AK: the AK has three safety positions - all the way up, Safe. One click down - full auto. Two clicks down -Semi. Has been that way since the first AK made.
Full auto fire is a great tool in combat for reacting to an ambush, or conducting an ambush, or dealing with a mass attack ("Gooners Galore"), or firing at night when the enemy is not easily visible but you know generally where they are.
The downsides of full-auto are - you use up ammo fast, if you are firing a magazine-fed weapon, when you run out of magazines loading more takes a long time, and your firing site becomes very obvious and you attract a lot of unwanted attention when you open up.
I love these bozos who always spout the "automatic fire is uncontrollable". All it takes is time on the trigger and practice to fire accurately and effectively with Full-A.
I see movies where people fire full auto weapons long enough to have emptied the thing four times over.
Time and place for everything.
In some Cases you’d need it.
In others, not so much.
But I want the option, either way.
This automatic firearm is still practical.
In a firefight, firepower rules. Be the one with the most lead going down range....as the founding fathers intended.
