You should almost always be on semi anyway. One can fire more than one
round on semi. <g> Just shoot until the guy goes down.

And how many real weapons do you think an infantry platoon lugs around?
Maybe a pair of  AT4s. Several M203s and some MGs. You open up on
targets
(even vehicles) with everything. Keeps the bastards buttoned up. About
the
SAW, exactly my point. A heavier caliber squad MG would punch holes
through
an APC has 300-400 meters. A SAW won't. Still I'm not dissing the SAW.
Before it you just had an M!6 AR (witha  cheesy bipod) at the fireteam
level..
