Yes, but it works in a weird way. If you keep the trigger down, it'll bloom some, but if you lift your finger between shots it won't.
Even fired semiautomatically like that, however, it still does get slight spread, but this spread is much less extreme than full-automatic spread.
However, the spread still isn't totally crippling even at its maximum range (of like 100m or so; I forget the exact value).


This mechanic applies to pretty much all the automatic weapons in the game, although a few are harder to fire at full speed semi-automatically (such as the plasma rifle, which can take a second of trigger mashing to get up to full firing speed). The assault rifle, for example, fired shot-by-shot, can actually become moderately effective at medium range if you get good at it.
