3 round burst

[the_ganman]

Just wondering why was the US weapons chosen to have only single or triple burst unlike all the other weapons in the game? I realy think adding full auto capability would make it more realistic cause the M4 being used are not in RL limited to 3 round burst

Yes the M4 is limited to semi and burst, the M4A1 is full auto.

Actually, yes they are. The M4 and M16 variants issued to the basic combat soldiers of the USMC and US Army are the burst fire variants and the M4A1 is only available to special forces which PR does not depict.

Also this has been suggested before and is not in the suggestions forum.

to extend on what outlaws has said.

the US army use the m4 which is semi - burst
US special forces use m4a1 which is semi - full.

M4A1

The M4A1 carbine is a fully-automatic variant of the basic M4 carbine intended for special operations use. The M4A1 has a "S-1-F" (safe/semi-automatic/fully automatic) trigger group, while the M4 has a "S-1-3" (safe/semi-automatic/3-round burst) trigger group

Not to be an "ass" or anything but i'm starting to grow a little bit tired of so many people asking why the M4 is not Fully automatic.

Maybe a Sticky post should do the thing?

Please not. There are way too many stickies anyway. Noone reads them if there are more of them than there are other threads

A) The US military uses rifles that are designed for marksmanship, not blasting away and hoping to hit something. a 3 round burst puts 3 very accurate rounds downrange. its an extremely effective firing mode.

B) The M4 is Semi and 3 round burst. the M4A1 is semi and auto. yes there is a difference and it does matter. Plus most M4s deployed right now are the M4, with the 3 round burst fire select.

Don't count my words as true on this one, im not Bob_Marley
But I recall that the M16A1 (Nam era) was a fully automatic assault rifle, with single and auto firing modes. However, put a crap load of scared soldiers in a hazardous and hostile environment with a crap load of automatic weapons and you got yourself one, very long ammo receipt.

From the few vids I could find on soldiers on the ground during the Vietnam war, soldiers would generally appear to be blasting their way through full magazines in full auto.
Dont take my word for it! Requesting rienforcements(Bob), over!
