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?

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.

Depends if they have artillery or air support or not but yes this is correct

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.

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.

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.
