For example an Uzi can fire 600 rounds per minute but the magazine only hold 32 rounds which is pretty typical even for fully automatic rifles as well.  So on full auto you have to reload after a burst of a few seconds.  That's great if you happen to hit at what you're aiming at but in general full auto is used more for suppression and cover fire than anything.  But as I said above a brown bear which may or may not be killed with a single bullet from a hunting rifle is only a CR 1 monster.  Most monsters we fight are far more deadly and resilient than natural animals.  Another example of a monster in a movie would be American Werewolf in London.  Yes in the end the werewolf is killed by normal weapons but it's several people with full auto shooting at it on an otherwise empty street.  So an ordinary bullet in the movie can kill them but good luck unless you have a small army to back you up.  If that monster is closing fast and intent on ripping your face off it would not be that simple.  If you require silver bullets to harm supernatural creatures for example they would be far more expensive, less accurate and do less damage.  Guns work well against normal enemies because most humans are likely CR 1/8.  Unless you're Angel Alvarez who in 2010 was shot 21 times during a gunfight but survived.</blockquote>
