Army studies found that full-auto generally puts fewer rounds on target — and that’s with guns designed to shoot full-auto.

To create a true “beaten zone” at long range, you want a real machine-gun, with a real tripod and a real “T & E” mechanism.

You simply hold the rifle loosely, not set against your shoulder, and hook the finger trigger in front of the trigger. But do not grip the rifle with the trigger hand or squeeze the trigger. Push the rifle forward with your off hand on the guard (better with a front post) to fire the rifle. The recoil resets the trigger, and constant pressure forward with the off hand continues the discharge.

Very difficult to control, and only useful in close quarters.
