Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

It's automatic. That's why it's called a sub machine gun.

He's just letting up off the trigger..

It seems fully-auto. Short-bursts is probably just how he played while demo'ing the game.

You can shoot it in bursts though it does not have a burst mode.

Light trigger presses just make it look like it has a burst mode.

The player was probably just doing burst fire by pulling the right trigger. I do the same with the SMG in MM sometimes.

I don't know much about it myself, but my dad is at E3 and he says its like the old smg but with controlled shots for more accuracy. And yes it would be awesome if it could change bursts.

That's how it's supposed to be used.

but having the silencer on the end means you can't fully auto the smg. thats why in real life no-one can put a silencer on heavy machine guns because they're too powerful. thats what they might of done down graded the power of the smg so the silencer can go on.

yeah, its actually pretty d*mned accurate and medium range if you fire in between 2 and 4 shot burts, but it takes so long to kill somebody that there is basically no point. But I know what you mean... in the heat of the battle... we all get a little trigger happy

=D

Wrong, you can put Suppressors on pretty much all machine guns now days. AAC and KAC both make suppressors to fit on the M240b and the M249.



On a side note, did any of yall notice how the SMG has only 48 rounds in the magazine instead of 60?

nowadays you can I'm thinking about the older war games soz.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

It's automatic. If you want to fire in bursts all you have to do is hold down the trigger for a second or two, then release.
