Here is the formula for autofire, in case anyone's interested:

APs = BaseAutoFireCost + 5 * # bullets / ShotsPer5APs

This is IN ADDITION to the single fire cost, which is calculated as follows:

APs = (( 200 * Soldier's APs ) / ((( 50 + Marksmanship / 2 ) * ShotsPer4Turns ) / 4) + 1) / 2

My bad, I think I misread this. So then how about we make so that BaseAutoFireCost determines the extra AP cost of burst (which is currently fixed at 4 APs for all weapons), as well as the minimum AP cost of an autofire burst?

I would like to emphasize that the way I proposed it, an autofire burst would have a minimum length equal to the minimum length of a fixed burst. So that autofire with no additional APs is the same as fixed burst (except it might be shorter or longer).

An alternative would be to eliminate the minimum autofire burst length (but make it very difficult to squeeze off less than 3 APs, especially for high ROF guns). Then BaseAutoFireCost need not apply to autofire at all - only to the fixed burst. Autofire AP cost would then be determined entirely by ShotsPer5APs (if this parameter is inconvenient, we could replace it with something else).

Example (alternative):

M-16 with BaseAutoFireCost = 3 (3-round burst) and ShotsPer5APs = 5

single shot = 6 APs
3-round burst = 6 + 3 = 9 APs
7-round autofire burst = 6 + 7*(5/5) = 13 APs
