They don't do it in real life. That was a little feature that's hung around since WWII. It's EXTREMELY rare to fire on full auto, and generally only idiots do it. Good for holywood effects though.

you guys must be thinking of the vietnam era M16, THAT was a real POS gun, fully automatic, but only 20 round magazines? however modern day M16s are far more reliable and do not fire full auto, but semi and burst

on topic: i think he mustve picked up a PPsH for many reasons
1. better personall defence weapon
2. souveneir
3. automatic weapon
4. to confuse opFor (sounds like their guns)
5. M16 ran out of bullets


has anyone else noticed the high rise of interest in PPsHs lately?

Fact of the matter Assualt Rifles are fired on full auto for extended bursts of 5-8 rounds.

Maybe the guy picked up the ppsh 41 because he wouldn't to show it off to Red Orchestra fans. Or he could have seen it as a legitmatly effective weapon in close quarters and decided to pick it up.

if i had a choice, id go into battle with binoculars and a radio, then i could have a couple hundred pounds of explosive falling on a target instead of a few KG of lead

Fact of the matter ARTIE! Is that assault rifles loose all ACCURACY after 5-8 bursts. After your third round your barrel climbs! This isn't Rambo where you can just lay down an ocean of lead and still hit your target.

You forget the fact that their are hundreds of videos of people firing assualt rifles full auto maybe not accuratly but your statement made it seem like they cannot be fired on full auto.
