The modern infantry issue assault rifle, is hardly spray and pray. It's highly accurate selective fire weapon. Selective in this case typicaly being burst or semi-auto. Automatic selective fire weapons as you indicated weren't as effective as hoped.

My husband loathed the first M-16s. He wanted his M-14 back (he settled more recently for this):


'cept his is Belgian, not Brazilian.

The modern select-fire weapons are better than the early M-16s, but we're still prejudiced.
