>>>>>[That's why they invented the various devices the give you recoil
supression. You want to rock and roll, put a gas vent on your weapon
and get a bipod. Contrary to what most of what you average street sam
does, most machine guns were not intended to be fired from the hip.
And one more thing, sure, if you mash down the trigger you will get a
stream of bullets but most of them are going to end up on the ceiling.
The way we were taught to do it in CIA bootcamp (and I'm sure all of
you with military service.) is short, controlled bursts. That's they
way a professional does it.]<<<<<
