Assault Rifles and their Ammunition: History and Prospects
#17
I had always thought full-auto was used like a shotgun blast. Something for short-range emergencies when you find yourself in the same ROOM as an enemy and you've got to fill him with lead to put him down NOW. This is how I perceive the use of the Suomi SMG in the dark forests of Finland, 1939, and in the rubble of Stalingrad with the PPSh SMG.

Other than that, the iconic image of full-auto is the Marine in Hue sticking his M16 over his head over a wall and blindly emptying the magazine.
