LMGs still only use 200 round belts though lol

Back when everyone actually ran lowcaps, and had 70 round mags, and LMGs used 2000 round boxes, and the very idea of a gun shooting more than 1100rpm was just laughable fantasy, it all made more sense. Cause then we'd just chastise people who wasted their ammo away in full auto at 900rpm from their 5 lowcaps.
Now with midcaps and 35rps, it's more annoying and more dangerous to just let every tom, dick and assbut use full auto.
In the words of a polarstar user "I have it set to 30rps for faster trigger response" *proceeds to do nothing but 3-10 round burst*

However, that being said, even in games where full auto is allowed on anything (more realistic), I've never felt handicapped using semi-only. More accurate, waste less ammo, if I have to attack a fort full of guys blasting full auto at me, I can just wait till they all run out of ammo.
60rps? Means you gotta reload some time.

The mandatory semi-auto is also a safety measure, but most importantly it forces people to actually aim. Because aiming is milsim. Unless you're playing a force that believes in life jackets and blind firing, then it's totally not milsim.
