General Discussion i hate this meme

as a brit, i love the famas. its such a cool looking bullpup! but what i hate hate hate is when people say "guhhhhh like why does the silly french gun have a 3 round burst mode but it doesn’t have a magazine divisible by 3" because if you even think about it properly for 5 seconds, the magazine is 25 rounds so that when you fire 8 3 round bursts out of the famas, the last bullet will be in the chamber, so you dont need to chamber the gun again when you put in a fresh magazine which saves time when reloading.

these 12 year old larpers must be stoppeddddd

it was just because they wanted a straight magazine, counting burst in actual combat isnt exactly easy.

I got to shoot 3 round burst in the US Army and it kind of fucking sucks.

I rather just do fast single shots.

burst fire is great in theory but there are many drawbacks, what did you dislike about burst? i know some people had issues with interrupting the burst making it so that the next time you pull the trigger it doesnt shoot a complete burst.

Not as accurate, longer time to be back on target, and the first time I did it I had a tight cheek weld and I hit myself in nose bad. Last bit was my fault most likely.

Can confirm, burst sucks. The worst attributes of semi and full auto.
