It's one of the settings for select fire. Pull the trigger, it squirts
out 3. Usually a pretty tight group even from the shoulder, too.

All the NATO infantry arms I'm familiar with have full auto, some have
3-round burst.

As for 3-round burst selective fire, you could learn a little about it
with a very simple Google search.

... To
modify it to full auto was, I believe, a courts martial offense.


I didn't realize that any national army didn't trust it's infantrymen
with the option of full auto fire.

... I must
admit that I don't see how the simple firing mechanism could be modified
to make a 3 round burst -full auto is simple the selector just needs
filing down so that when rotated further it can't recatch the mechanism.

Why do you try and bull**** everyone when you ought to realize you don't
have a clue what you're talking about?

And to think, in this great modern age of the Info Superhighway, you
could become an expert of at least Jaxxian proportions very simply.

As far as balance, I'd say the muzzle tended to kick up about 4" so that
by the time you've let it fall and the next round is chambered it would
be hard to be accurate if the next shot were fired as soon as the recoil
mechanism closed the breach. In that sense I'd say it was a bit muzzle
end light for accuracy on full auto.

IIRC the 3-round burst fires from open bolt.

You don't know what that means either, do you?
