Now that was a question *I* had. Why, why, WHY is everyone so hung-up on
full-auto mode as opposed to burst fire? IMO, the lower damage of the burst
fire setting is *far* offset by the recoil penalties: the Troll street sam
in my game has a natural recoil modifier and a Gas Vent III, and she can
nullify two bursts but not, I think, much more than that. Who'd be nuts
enough to use full auto?
