==Burst mode== [[Burst mode (weapons)|Burst mode]] is an automatic fire mode that limits the number of rounds fired with each trigger pull, most often to three rounds. After the burst is fired, the firearm will not fire again until the trigger is released and pulled again. Burst mode was implemented into firearms due to the inaccuracy of fully automatic fire in combat, and due to suggestions that fully automatic fire has no genuine benefit. Additionally, many militaries have restricted automatic fire in combat due to the ammunition wasted.<ref name="Military.com - Full Auto?">{{cite web|title=Full Auto: Battlefield Necessity or A Waste of Ammo?|url=https://kitup.military.com/2011/12/full-auto-battlefield-necessity.html|website=military.com|access-date=3 March 2017}}</ref>
