Not really. The amount of combat vets I’ve talked to ranging from Vietnam to Syria and I’ve yet to find a guy who actually switched his M16/M4 to 3rd or full.

There’s a a reason the Brits and Australians declined to order their FAL’s in auto.

Thank you, the Hughes amendment is still fucking gay.

Gay? Yes. But nonetheless I think people fetishize full auto because it’s basically forbidden fruit. It’s got almost zero use besides wasting ammo outside of a rifleman company.

There's a huge difference in a rifle shooting an intermediate cartridge and a full powered rifle cartridge in full auto

into min-maxing and shit flinging?

I feel like Taser and I were being perfeftly cordial. Utilitarian tryhard vs enthusiasit discussion is in pretty much every hobby (tryhards are right though btw).

Not really.

Not in US doctrine indeed. Euro armies love the full auto for CQB.

In a PCC/PDW though you are rittling them with as many holes as you can as fast as possible to cause drastic loss in bloodpressure or cripple your target. Its like, a big deal, and why the MP5, P90, HK45, etc had their day in the sun.

Get the timney trigger for your MP5’s - you can shoot fast as fuck while being infinitely more accurate than full.

I’ll take your word for it I guess. I’ve only interacted with USMC, Army and Australians.

Are we acting like modern 9mm JHP’s are just nothing now?

you have, but that's rare in these sorts of debates. it always devolves into "yer gonna get kilt in the streetz!" etc

No sir, not even close. Thats the magic of full auto submachine guns. With a proper rifle this could/would be true.

Modern JHP 9mm *now* is going to be better then bullet when you pull it from your pack/trunk/night stand. If I'm pulling from a pack/trunk/nightstand then:
1. Holy shit!
2. I want a rifle.

I may just do that when I pick up an sp5 whenever that happens

Its a whole new world boomer, ask the zoomers in ukraine how things are now. Almost everyone now has some flavor of thermals/NVG/Armor/Arty and suicide drones. Shits fucked

It is but I frankly don’t think the Ukraine war is actually reflective of normal American self-defense situations or small arms in general.

@Romulus augustulus regarding what you said about boomer fudds on forums regarding deer hunting. You really can’t find a worst source of advice. Guys like that work entirely off vibes and anecdotes and refuse to ever accept they might of just made a shit shot. Every boomer is convinced they’re a scout sniper.
