I agree 100%. I would not want a select fire on my rifle, even if it was legal and free. (Esp. with today's military caliber ammo availability hassles.)

Then there is the classic example of the Rhodesian military in the 70s, which had select fire FALs. Due to ammo constraints, their armorers converted all of the military's rifles to semi-only, and their "kills" went up dramatically!

I wasn’t aware of that little anecdote, but it doesn’t surprise me.
