Trust me. Having fired plenty of full auto, it is very much overrated in any platform designed to be fired off hand.
When I was in, we were issued the the M16-A2 with the notorious 3 round burst. Which we quickly understood was 1 hit and 2 misses.

If it is not on a bipod, tripod, or a mount, half of your rounds will not be on target. And even those platforms ( M60, MA2) experience serious muzzle rise in full auto. In the military, there is a place for this. Suppressing fire will keep Hadji's head down.
In boot they preach one shot, one kill. You get into the fleet and they say, " Lay down suppressing fire and keep their heads down" Then try to drop mortar fire or call in artillery.
If we wanted to actually score hits, we flicked the switch to semi. With my best AR I can ring steel at 100 yards with every round, and empty a 30 round magazine in about 15 seconds. Fast enough for me. Jerry Miculek can probably do it in 5 seconds
