Light Machine Gun inf (RA)

[AchromicWhite]

Here he is, not only does he have a blue belt to help ID him as NOT a regular rifleman, but also the firing animations show him using his weapon as a fully automatic gun.

Frames replace the Flamethrower inf.

RAR contains the 566 frame SHP and the lovely smooth icon.

Neat! A real automatic in C&C

 

As for the basic riflemen, the M16A2 section of the M16 wikipedia page gives the answer to the question why they did it like that.

 

The action was also modified' date=' replacing the fully automatic setting with a three-round burst setting. When using a fully automatic weapon, poorly trained troops often hold down the trigger and "spray" when under fire. The U.S. Army concluded that three-shot groups provide an optimum combination of ammunition conservation, accuracy and firepower.[/quote']

Yup, I know, the M16 does a 3 round burst

Note the gun in this picture is the M249 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M249_light_machine_gun, which is used as a machine gun for squads (SAW, Squad Automatic Weapon)

So now you can make realistic American squads (boo ya!)
