Post; Three round burst with M-16


Sounds fun..

Field training can be fun..

if the weather is good!

Still the American infantry is issued with the three-round burst M-16,

won't that be a problem when trying to shoot multiple near foes when a single observer (with M-16 only) tries to down the enemies before they get near to the platoon?

Or when fighting in built up areas?

Seconds count in such situations. You can't afford to pull and let go the trigger and pull again.
