Stoner 63- most controlable Full auto rifle ?

[stanc]

I would have to respectfully agree to dis-agree with you on this one stanc. If you could ever get to Montana I would let you try shooting a standard full auto M-4 with one hand and see if you think it was controllable.

I wish I could take you up on that offer. However, even if I could, it wouldn't settle anything in the context of my previous post, unless I could also shoot the ArmWest M4 for comparison.

I was very impressed with Sullivan's modified full auto especially firing from an open bolt. The firing impulse looked very controllable.

I didn't say that it looked uncontrollable. I said that it appeared to kick harder and be less controllable to the standard M4.

Like you commented before, the shooter can make all the difference in perception.

Of course it can. The nice thing about the In Range video is that it showed two individuals firing both weapons in the same manner from the shoulder, which eliminates one variable in the comparison.

However, the guy in the In Range video who shot Sullivan's M4 one-handed, did not do the same with the standard M4, so I had no choice but to look for a video of someone else doing the same stunt with an M4. And in the video I posted, controllability in one-handed firing looks relatively the same compared to the one-handed shooting of the ArmWest M4, as did the shoulder firing of both guns, i.e., more controllable, less recoil.
