Yes in a way. You actually do one Burst of 9 rounds, but the effect
is that you hit A with 3 rounds B with 3 rounds and C with 3 rounds.
Or anny other combination of hits on only one person or two. For the
first "burst" you get a penalty of +3, counting any recoilcompensation
down, the second "burst" takes you to a +6, and the 3rd "burst" takes
you to a nice +9 for the full auto round only.

But then you have to count in the extra rounds if you walk the fire.
Or you have a Smartlink. And then after all, you got the Recoil, if
you have the manpower to handle it, do it. Otherwise burst your way
through any defenses, Fullauto is simply only for Trolls and Vehicles.
And maybe augmented other Metas with a Gyroscope.

That is, if you do not count the others.
