Because they're video games you dumb fuck.

Realism is boring as shit. Play ArmA 2 and find that out for yourself.

yea, why the fuck are games unrealistic

>mfw i always try to fire in 3 round bursts or single shots for better accuracy and conservation of ammunition

Because your hands would burst into treats if they did this.

Cos it's Klobbering time!

Why are people made of polygons in games?

In real life people are made of flesh and blood.

>>78128445

>Very few guns actually have the ability to go full auto, most have the ability removed to stop troops wasting ammo.

Those are called battle rifles, son. If it's an assault rifle, it almost always has full auto. It's just hardly used.

>>78128655

> yfw most games don't have this feature

>>78128805

this be my face when that shit happens

>>78128784

Nope

Most M16s come with full auto disabled.

>>78128805
Every game has this feature, just don't hold down the button like a mong.

Black had the ability to switch from semi to full auto

So you guys talk about how immersive and realistic your favorite shooter is, yet when this gets called out you guys go back to "LOL ITS A VIDEO GAME HURR"?

>>78128954

I actually play ArmA 2 all of the time. However the game can be stupidly boring when you're sitting on a server waiting for your teammates to get their shit ready.

>>78128955

There is no need, guns in games never have recoil and spacing out your shots in mutiplayer just gets you killed by a faggot going full auto.

People fire in full auto in real life? Even in games I fire in short bursts. It just seems prudent. Better accuracy, less ammo usage, and all that good stuff. I can assume people who didn't figure that out on their own were trained to do it.

>>78129213

unless you're a jap shit or sandnigger with an AK-74, no. You don't fire full auto. It is there, though.

>>78129162
Most games have blooming recitals even if they don't have much recoil.
If you were playing tactically instead of running at your opponent then he wouldn't be killing you like that.

>>78128891
I don't know many games that feature M16s as fully automatic rifles, bro.

>>78128784
An Assault rifle is marked by being chambered for a rifle round, and having SELECTIVE fire. If it can switch between 3rd and Semi Auto it's an assault rifle. Does not need auto.

Pic is my rad battle rifle.

>>78128784
Battle Rifles are rifles with 308 round or what we know call "Sniper" round because we're all pussy nowadays
assault rifles are vauge description of a semi-full auto rifle that isnt used for long range or close quarters
most military service rifles dont have full auto and only come in standard semi and burst
you have to be really specialized to get a full auto weapon from the military (Spec ops, People who guard shit etc)

Canada, China, Israel, Germany, France, and Switzerland (Just to name a few) all have assault rifles that have fully automatic fire as their standard issue, and the m4 and it's variants have greatly gained popularity for US forces in the last few decades. I would bet rifles with semi/burst as their only selections are actually less common world wide.

>Worried about wasting ammo

Ammo is cheap and in great supply, no one cares about wasting it.

>>78128784
You're an idiot kid. Please, at least learn that most guns have single shot and 3 shot bursts without full auto before spouting off random crap that make confuse children.

>>78129394

Only shit retarded console fpses that have about 6 buttons don't have full auto on M16s.

>>78129516
if your stuck in the middle of a hostile city and keep blurting ammo see how long it will last. Stockpiles are in large supply not the actual ammout that can be carried

>>78129516
Yes they do. You especially do in areas where you can't always expect a streaming supply at all times, which happens often enough in any war.

>>78129516
Also, weapons like the ones in OP's pic have large clips, so I really don't see the issue.

OP, to make it more realistic, I just pop the trigger button instead of holding it down. :)

You're wrong as well, good sir. A battle rifle generally fires a larger caliber round where assault rifles generally fire medium caliber rounds. Without getting technical, that's the main difference. Also, most modern assault rifles have a burst function. It increases accuracy while decreasing ammunition costs.

>>78129746
>>78129764
This isn't WWII or a movie, the army keeps a supply line going and makes sure they never get cut off from troops.

>>78129516
not really
they actually make you pay for bringing more than the standard amount of ammo you can carry(USMC atleast)
its not that bullets are expensive its that its more expensive to ship it to Afghanistan or Iraq than to produce 500 bullets

in S.T.A.L.K.E.R you can switch between firing mode. i keep most rifles on single-fire when roaming or 3-shot-burst if the gun has it. it's only when i need to clear a room or i'm in cramped conditions where accuracy is less important that i switch to full-auto.

When it comes to video games, full auto and no recoil is on all rifles because enemies take ludicrous punishment before going down. Realistically, you take one good shot and you're gone.

>>78129569

Name an assault weapon besides the M16a2-a4 that does not have ANY ability to go into full auto.

>>78129964
Doom called them clips.
Doom is always right.

>>78130045
Thats wonderful, because there is no chance, in some future conflict, the army might have people cut off from supply on occassion, so there is not reason for anyone to care about supplies because it isn't a problem RIGHT NOW.

>>78129493

My brand new M4 I was issued this year is semi/burst, you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about so shut the fuck up.

Most assault rifles have full auto mode. Yeah it's barely used but possible.

What happened to switching the firing mode in games? I want that shit back. CoD1 was awesome for it.

>>78130359

>M4
>M4's have the ability to fire full auto

I'm not talking about individual modded guns. I mean a rifle family that simply can't no matter what.

>>78130483
What's the point?
You can control how many shots you're firing by not holding down the button like an idiot.

CHECK THE CLIPS BITCHES!!!

>>78129794
Large as in 20-30 rounds. Gone in a few seconds.

>>78129516
You care when you have to worry about resupply.

>>78129213
Short bursts are encouraged. But sometimes soldiers need that full automatic capability. Also- guarding shit does not warrant full automatic weapons.

>>78129451
Battle Rifles fire high-powered rifle cartridges. Generally semi-auto only, but they can occasionally fire full auto (M14A1, FN FAL, G3, ect.) And no military uses the .308. They use the military version called the 7.62x51mm. It is not a "sniper cartridge". It just tends to be used in rifles equipped with optics and such, although there are battle rifles that use it too ;)

>>78130626

Again, this M4 was issued to me, I am a US Marine. You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. M4a1's fire full auto and are only issued to special operations.

Apparently your dumb ass confuses the word "issued" with the word "bought."

You can get away with giving full auto to more disciplined troops like those because they won't spray their entire magazine ineffectually into cover.

Just because the woefully underpowered 556 M-4 won't fire fully auto doesn't mean there aren't an assmetricfuckton of guns in the world that are fully automatic.

>>78131078

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M16A1#M16

>The M16A3 was a fully-automatic variant of the M16A2 adopted in small numbers around the time of the introduction of the M16A2, primarily by the U.S. Navy for use by SEAL, Seabee, and Security units.[59] It features the M16A1 trigger group providing "safe", "semi-automatic", and "fully-automatic" modes.

Really? Strange. I don't recall OP's post saying "military issued" anywhere.

>>78131514

You don't use full auto for covering fire, semi-auto is sufficient to get the enemy to keep their heads down. Your mags wouldn't last long enough for the maneuver if you used full auto.

>>78131704
Because 90% of FPS' nowadays involve the military, which is what we're talking about?

Reading Comprehension?

>>78129493
Yeah most rifles world wide more commonly have 1 Round shot mode or Full Auto fire selectors. Kind of rare to find a military AR15 type rifle to be in full auto The C7, C8 and M4A1 are the exceptions but if the Army went and bought the colt branded not a real army designated M16A3 then they would have had a full auto assault rifle once again.

But hell I don't even think the US Army uses M16A2 past basic anymore it's all M4s now by M4 I mean the 1shot with 3 round burst model not the M4A1 full auto carbine used by special forces with some limited use by regular infantry.

>>78131514

That's not ineffectual then, now is it?
Also are you saying that the US army doesn't use covering fire? Because they aren't issued fully automatic weapons.

>>78131878

The m249 and the m2 are machineguns you fucking idiot.

>>78129451

Wrong, bitch.
There's a very set definition for an assault rifle:

1. Selective-fire capability(from semi to either burst/full auto)
2. Chambered in an intermediate caliber as opposed to a pistol or rifle (9mm or .308, respectively)

A Battle rifle is a firearm chambered for a rifle cartridge that is general-issue to a military force (M1 Garand, M14, SVT-40).

In the US military, there is an automatic rifleman in every squad, who is usually given an M249 SAW, which, as you kiddies probably learned from MW2, is fully automatic.

>>78131897

>Why are guns automatic in games?

So, what? You can't have an auto weapon in say, SOCOM, because cowadooty takes place in the military?

>>78132007

NIGGER, ITS EXTERMLYH EFFECTIVE.

>Also are you saying that the US army doesn't use covering fire?
>Because they aren't issued fully automatic weapons.

How about because it's a FUCKING VIDEO GAME!

>>78128445
Of the guns in modern games, the G36, AUG, M4A1, and L85A1 Enfield all have the ability to go full auto.

Basically this entire thread boils down to OP not being OK with the M16A2 being portrayed as a full-auto weapon in video games. Cherry picking much?

>>78132121
I'm not even sure what you're going on about anymore. What do SOCOM or CoD have to do with my point other then prove it?

>>78129442
That looks like a shotgun that ate a rifle

Australian Armyfag here, the Austeyr we use has a selective fire trigger for full auto or semi-auto.

Don't most armies only have guns that alternate between one shot/full auto?

>>78130946

>DAT PING

>>78132452
Most standard-issue rifles will either have the selector as you mentioned or be semi-auto only. One of the notable exceptions is the M16A4 (the US Army assault rifle) which has 3-shot burst and single fire.

>>78132393

My point is, OP said that guns in games don't go full auto (while ironically posting a picture of a machine gun). You're trying to say that they don't because military issued weapons don't.. I'm trying to argue that they do. I know it's not realistic in a game that takes place in the military, but many rifles have full auto.

>>78132576

>he thinks the m16 is a machinegun

>>78132760
Technically the Saiga 12 is semi-auto and the AA-12 is full auto.

All russian AKs and saigas are made by Izhmash, but RPKs are made by Molot, and the AKS-74us were made by Tula.

The Saiga 12 is fucking cool, but the AA-12 is fucking cooler. The AA is fully automatic.

With a drum of thirty fucking shells, that's a lot of Goddamn power. I mean, shit, you could clear a room in a casual sweep a few seconds long.

Reloading would be a bitch, though. That's one strength shotguns have--you can be highly versatile with their ammo. Want limited rifle capacity? Eject a round and switch it with a slug and manually load that motherfucker. Similarly you could quickly switch ammo types for anything else--like the pyrotechnic rounds, the ones that shoot ten-foot flames or shit like that.

TACTICOOL.

>>78133223

Exactly. While weapons you use in games like Call of Duty and Left 4 Dead are directly obtained from the military, it's a game. I doubt most devs actually care whether the MP5 shoots in 2 shot bursts or whether it shoots napalm filled clusterbombs, as long as they're making lodsofemone they're fine.

His head just asploded when he read that

OP, you dumb fuck, the M16A2s/A4s/M4s that are issued today do have the ability to fire automatically. The soldier is trained enough to know how to conserve ammo.

Also, the 5.56 round allows a single soldier to carry even thousands of rounds of ammunition without being weighed down

In a combat situation, you need auto fire, no matter what. Whether it be suppression or just standard engagement, trust me, automatic fire comes in handy and soldiers know when to go from semi-auto to full auto.

That being said, full auto is not always required considering in modern units there is usually a man with an M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) that handles suppression and high volumes of fire.

The need for rapid, automatic fire is essentially the reason why, in the late 50s the US military invested in a 5.56-firing modern assault rifle instead of sticking with the M14, which still operated on the 7.62 Garand platform.

THE MORE YOU KNOW.

Say what you want about the AA-12, but the capability of firing these babies is awesome beyond anything. Comes in variants of: Fragmentation, Incendiary, and Armor Piercing.

This weapon is just a few steps off from being a real-life Boltgun.

The word Squad Automatic Weapon is a American term for Automatic Rifleman.

But more or less the role of the Auto Rifleman is to put down large amounts of fire to pin and or suppress the enemy to allow flanking movements for your assault element while also inflicting massive causalities.

But still you can still give one hell of amount of suppressing fire with just m16s and M4a on semi auto

Richard Machowicz loaded a new clip of explosive rounds into his custom Desert Eagle. It was a ballistically enhanced model, with a powerful scope and extra strength silencer. He needed both the stopping power and silence to infiltrate. A year ago this former SEAL SNIPER was called back to service in the top secret Epsilon Force to become the greatest operator known to man. This was his first mission - to infiltrate a right-wing domestic group and take no prisoners.

Machowicz snuck around the corner and took out the guards with the Eagle. Instant decapitation. With a Tae Kwon Do kick he learned as a SEAL, he kicked down the door, rolled in and ducked behind a wooden table. Two gunmen opened fire with AR-15s, but alas their stopping power was not enough to penetrate the thick wood. Mack was struck twice but the tiny bullets had little effect, being only 5.52. Machowicz pulled out his Barrett REC7 and double-cocked the receiver. This weapon had the stopping power he needed. He fired through the table and the rounds hit the gunmen, knocking them off their feet. Richard dove around the next corner and was met by a massive guard. He was so big Richard would need maximum stopping power to take him down. He pulled out his Colt Anaconda and did a Mozambique drill, two shots to the head and one to the chest to finish him off. With the sheer power of the magnum, neither region remained when the gunsmoke cleared.
