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?


Here we used to use two versions of the FN, designated FNC1 and FNC2, (FN Canada), C1 was semi auto with twenty round clips, the C2 was full auto with
a bipod, heavier barrel, modified barrel attachment to facilitate rapid changes, and thirty round clips.

I have fired both weapons extensively, you are correct, on full auto the C2 climbs up to the left something fierce, the idea is to squeeze of a short
burst of three rounds, it takes a bit of practice.

That being said the weapon is ridiculously expensive, complicated, heavy and far too powerful to make a good assault rifle.
