"I think there's one that's newer still. It has a high cyclic rate for 3 rds then cycles lower.... neat stuff..."

I can't remember the nomenclature for that weapon, but it was featured in SGN a while ago. The system for cyclic reduction is coupled to a system that uses a cable and pulleys. Longevity isn't known yet. They aren't issued to anyone except for FSB agents so far. Not exactly a front-line battle rifle.

I'll weigh in on the side of the FN/FAL Para 1st and the M1A second. I use my AR or my AK for plinking, not serious shooting.

See my post #70

P.S. it's not a 3 round burst, it's a TWO round burst! Supposedly, the first two round fire so fast that you only hear one shot and only feel the recoil of one shot.

"In brief, the AN-94 works as follows. First, let's assume that the full magazine is inserted and the chamber is empty, receiver / barrel assembly is in the forward position. When one pulls the charging handle, the bolt carrier goes back, unlocking and retracting the bolt. At the same time, the rammer, which is linked to the bolt carrier via the thin steel cable and a large pulley, goes forward, stripping the first round from the magazine and placing it into the feedway in the receiver. Another action that takes the place the same time is the cocking of the hammer, which is also located in the recoiling receiver. When the charging handle is released, the bolt assembly goes forward, slamming the cartridge from the feedway and into the chamber, and locks the barrel. Now, the gun is ready to fire. "
