It's funny, because the few times I used one on burst at the range for a simulated 300m target (at 25m), only the first shot from each burst hit. On actual deployment, I never once bothered with burst fire. At short range, I was a good enough shot to hit 2 out of 2 with a ... ahem... controlled pair. At long range, well, those shots take time to aim, so burst would have been wasteful. But, then again... I tend to prefer well aimed shots. Even with my .50, I was off the trigger before a 3rd round left the chamber (often, only one round would make it out). It took conscious effort to fire the full 5-7. I always felt like successive shots would just miss anyway, so what's the point?
