Now I may seem real out of place here, but I must say, I have fired semi auto before. And if you laid the latest and greatest bullet hose in front of me I would prefer the same.
I do not ever want to fire an automatic weapon on a serious course. Even if given the opprutinity.
I like the control you have with an semi automatic, being able to choose how many rounds according to what you want to place on your target, squezing the trigger only when you need precisely one round, calling it an disadvatage is trivial.
Even with something as small as a .22 cal rifle, semi auto lets me place the rounds I need at the target I am forced to aim at, and the magazine does not run dry as fast. (lord forbid 500+rounds a minute)
Seems like it just feels better, more assuring, for me at least, knowing you literally call all the shots, and can place them wherever you need be.
Maybe it's pscological?
You folks with automatic weapons experiance, I would more than love to hear your experianced opinions, so please if you can enlight please do so,
thanks,
Yo,
