I have done military service, but it was a long time ago and I have never heard a shot fired in anger. We used Heckler & Koch G3A3 battle rifle, which can fire in either semi-automatic or fully automatic mode. As far as I can remember we were trained to mainly use semi-automatic mode, and possibly we used burst for suppressive fire. Anyhow, what I remember or not is of less importance since it was a long time ago and I was an army engineer, so we were better at building bridges and blowing stuff up than firing our rifles.
My question to all veterans is: Based upon your experience, in what situations do you use your rifle to fire burst/full auto instead of single shots?
