John, we all know you're powerfully enamored of guns and shooting. That 
makes you fairly pedantic about vocabulary.

If a person shoots a semi-automatic as fast as he can pull the trigger, 
that is a "burst" of shots, practically speaking. That's how it would be 
accurately described, even if that "burst" didn't happen with one 
trigger pull. It would have much the same effect on (say) a deer being 
hunted; or a cop being shot at; or a room full of school kids.

And you've _still_ never explained the practical societal benefit of 
that capability in civilian hands.
