@Khor: Well, since most weapons with a fixed burst group have it at 3 rounds, you could set the fixed burst to 3 rounds for most automatic weapons. Squeezing less than 3 shots on full auto is difficult anyway, so I think it won't be much of a realism sacrifice to leave out this option. The upshot: you will be able to fire 3-round bursts in the Burst mode, and 3+ -round bursts in the Autofire mode. How does this sound?

Perhaps we could even make fixed burst an option? Most automatic weapons, especially the older ones, don't have this feature anyway. Having automatic mode only means you won't be able to precisely control the burst length, which adds realism and some diversity to weapons.

Valid points but if we're fixing autofire, then G11's burst might as well harcoded back to the way it was while autofire should be like by other rifles.
that's because it fires the 3round burst at around 2000rpm while if in auto it's only 600rpm.

With my scheme you can do exactly that - no hardcoding needed. If you set the burst APs to 0 for the G11, it will fire the first 3 rounds at no additional cost WRT single shot, but if it also has autofire enabled, then subsequent shots will be fired at the rate specified by bAutofireShotsPerFiveAP. The only problem is that you can only specify one burst penalty, so if it has burst penalty 0 for the fixed burst, it will still be 0 for autofire.
