Assault Rifles and their Ammunition: History and Prospects

[nincomp]

If you want controllable Full Auto, there are several ways to do it, but you still want short bursts + low cyclic rate. That then places you in the position of sacrificing some action speed that is very beneficial in close quarters using the Semi mode of fire.

Just to make sure that I understand, soldiers can fire more quickly in semi-auto than the controllable full-auto-low-cyclical-rate rifle. How long can a soldier maintain such rapid fire?

Gee, tell us how you really feel about the AK-47.
