Interesting. I read somewhere that, when the Brits were fighting the MauMau in Kenya, ammo was in short supply, so they were told to switch from automatic to semi-automatic. Their results were far superior when they stopped spraying. I guess sprayng is good for covering fire for an advance, but not much else.

I spent many years in Africa, where the incredible volume of expended ammo never ceased to amaze me; a seemingly inexhaustible supply for the insurgents, who rarely used a weapon's sights. They simply hosed a target in a shower of lead. Some places must be ankle deep in spent brass to this day.
