The 3-round burst is what the very high cycle rate is for. It's very
effective.

Once upon a time while roaming around at a shooting event on a military
base, I got a chance to try out a couple of select fire military arms
(including a Galil and an FN-FAL) with 3-round burst. It is a huge
advantage over timed fire.

BTW since our gov't in it's wisdom will not let us have such dangerous
toys, the Glaser "safety" slug is a good close approximation. Loses
accuracy at range, but really kicks ass close up.

If I ever get shot, I hope it's with a Glasser. And the FBI
agrees with me.

I doubt the FBI would shoot you. Perhaps one of your boyfriends, but
Hoover is dead.

Why would you hope to get shot with anything, much less a specialized
antipersonnel round?

Some years ago, various agencies were using Glaser loads but it wouldn't
surprise me if something better was out there now. Why do you and the
FBI think they're ineffective?

I never fired a modified FN (i.e. with full auto) but the recoil was
quite large and seemed (to me) to make the semi-auto about as much as
one would want. Could you keep it anywhere near a target on auto? How
did you make it fire a 3 round burst -was it a further modification?

Cheers

I didn't fire it on full auto from the shoulder. With a bipod it's no
problem.

There are a lot of weapons with worse recoil, and not as good a balance,
as the FN. The roller lock makes the recoil-reload action relatively smooth.

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.
