In a way he is right. People are conditioned to think that full auto is tremendously lethal. Slower, well aimed fire is more effective in most cases.

Slower, well aimed fire is more effective in most cases. True ... but the selector switch on every M-16 I ever saw had the "one at a time" position.

That is why the modern M16 doesn’t do full “rock-n-roll”... it does a 3 round burst.
Spray n pray is less lethal than aimed fire.

Circa 1988-89, the M16 was issued in the A2 version - 3 round burst.
