Actually, burst firing is less accurate than single firing, overall, even with more lead down range. But, it's the least inaccurate multi-fire mode. Autofire is extremely inaccurate Wastes lead and gets little return, unless you're covering/suppressing. (I'm talking hand-held weapons, not crew-served. The M240 and the M2HB on an M1A1 can put a belt of rounds in a very nice pattern at obscenely long ranges).  To be 'realistic,' single shot should have no changes, burst firing should incur a slight penalty after the first shot, and auto should incur big penalties after the first three shots. Everyone's first shot should not be penalized for a regular attack (i.e. not engaging in covering/suppressing fire). Of course, that's a level of detail that could bog a game down quickly. All of these can be mitigated by bracing, using two hands (in the case of handguns), using a bipod/tripod for long arms, and aiming. I'm still leaning toward Dragonstar with V for Victory's suppressing/covering fire and Spycraft's bracing/aiming rules. Just haven't played enough modern to know how it all comes together.</blockquote>
