Is there a practical use for automatic fire?
You could easily hit someone with a single bullet if you were accurate enough, so a machine gun just seems like a complete waste of precious bullets in the battlefield.
Supressive fire while moving to flank

suppression, it hugely increases the enemy's chance of taking a stray bullet to the face if he dares to peek out behind cover, thus keeping him there

What branch/mos is that guy?
>>34242295
Looks like the SWCC guys

You're a fucking idiot. A trained private with a belt fed weapon wins firefights, especially with a decent NCO to give him fire commands. Real war is not air soft or a fucking video game.
MGs are what kill people in firefights

What all does SWCC entail?

Small boats, lots of guns

Drive a speed boat shooting machine guns to infil/exfil SOF in inland waterways. Littoral is the word they use I think.
>>34242312
Depends if they have artillery or air support or not but yes this is correct
>>34242339
>>34242330
That sounds amazing. Are they SOF or what?
>>34242251
We're gonna put precision slow firing rifles on top of combat vehicles and in aircraft? Man you are not smart.

Holy shit. How have I never heard how cool they are?
>>34242396
Because SEAL/DELTA are fame whores hogging all the attention.
>>34242396
breddy cool
>>34242251
If it were up to you we'd still be using fucking muskets. Luckily you're not, and never will be, in charge of anything.
>>34242410
Those aren't SWCC, they're Navy Riverine Squadron guys.

You're an idiot, in both those places it's better to use full over semi auto 99% of the time.
Bad examples anon, poor form.
Spitting a burst at a target greatly increases the chance of a hit, especially when your time to aim is limited.
