I've been in a Firearms Instructors Course this week and had lots of range time. A bit of classroom was thrown in too.
1st couple of days was pistol only but we added rifle (AR) and shotgun.
A couple of the guys there had their issued M16 and M4. I had never fired a FA before but we all got our turn yesterday and today. Yesterday I shot the FA Colt M16. I don't know if it was an /A1 or /A3 but no burst! 30 round mag was gone in no time! Today was my chance at the Bushmaster tricked out M4. Again FA and no burst. The M4 was much easier to control. But I found that no matter what, FA is basically a waste and ineffective unless you really know what you're doing!
All I can say (within reason) is what a BLAST!
If you've never fired FA, you owe it to yourself to find a machine gun shoot and give it a go. Quite the experience.
