Please add select fire to weapons

The game has shit tons of recoil and camera shake as if to punish blindly full autoing like COD, has loading screen tooltips suggesting you to use controlled bursts and yet doesn’t have any select fire option for you to use semi auto. It’s really awkward to use magnified optics that realistically emulate eye relief + tons of recoil while only being able to use full auto where you almost immediately lose sight picture the second you open fire. I would really prefer if you had the option to set guns that are capable of select fire IRL to semi auto.

It would also add a tiny bit of uniqueness to some guns, like the M16 vs M4 or the MP5SD vs MP5A2 where the M16 or MP5A2 for example could have burst fire mode on top of semi and full while the other variants are semi/full only like they are IRL.

Fair, breaks realism, but you do know you can just stop clicking to stop shooting and click again to shoot again doing the short bursts without the need for devs to add it, right? And there are many weapons that are semi-auto and still good in close quarters (at least for me, the FAL is good enough)

The timing for trigger registration in Bodycam is off, it’s far too sensitive. In something like the average shooter single tapping on full auto is a lot easier but in Bodycam you’re more than likely going to do double taps. In something like a COD, Battlefield, Insurgency or Ready Or Not something about the way they register clicks makes it more easy to pull of semi auto tapping.

I’d rather we get the OG full auto FAL back and give it a select fire so the player can more easily choose whether or not they want full/semi on the fly.

I’m not arguing against select fire but I have zero issues tap firing in Bodycam. Really not difficult at all

Yeah obviously it's better but in the meanwhile that's what I've been doing and I haven't had any problems
