Gun control debate (merged)

I thought they deleted full auto and just had 3 round. Only three positions on the safety. SAFE, Semi Auto, and some form of Party Mode

I used an M16A1 when I went through basic and it was full auto. We only shot it full auto on one occasion and it isn’t like on tv. Not sure if the A2 was already being used at that time but it’s what was issued at my following duty stations although I carried a 9mm.

Yeah A1 was full auto I believe.
 
From what I’ve read most training tries to deter any party mode selection and promotes aiming and single shot fire. Party poppers.

Correct but fully auto has it's uses. They went to the 3 round burst because of Vietnam and the spray and pray waste of ammunition.

I’d guess an A1, an ammo box, and a six pack of beer could result in a fun Friday night.

And it would probably keep some bastards heads down while others maneuver like the SAW does.

In basic we had the A1s and when I got to my first duty station they had the A2s. I don't think we started getting the Barettas until 92 or 93.
 
Anyone making a comment like that with a low follower account should probably be viewed with some skepticism. Just saying
