[edit] three modes

Hi just wondering, has anyone ever made a selective-fire gun that can fire semi-automatic, burst fire and full automatic? I have heard that there are some, but they are unreliable, expensive, and rare.

I've only ever heard of ones with two modes.

The french FA-MAS assault rifle can switch between semi-automatic and burst fire, which can in turn be switched to either 3-rounds burst or full automatic.breversa 09:56, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Several weapons, including the MP5, can had with more than two firing modes. They are not unreliable, expensive or rare.

Other three-option weapons include the Japanese Type 89 and a couple of Heckler & Koch rifle include the G 11 and maybe the G 36. Does anybody know what the first selective-fire weapon was? Or the first with a limited-burst option? I kind of think the latter was the Beretta 93R, but I don't know. Boris B 08:55, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

"Automatically- is this a real word...

Same for the SIG 550, as can be seen on Image:Caroline-pontet-p1000527.jpg : Security (S), One round (1), Three-round burst (3) and Full automatic (hidden under the metal security which is removed if needed). Rama 14:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Selecetive Fire Shotguns

The definition of Selective fire: "A selective fire firearm can be fired in both semi-automatic and any number of automatic modes by means of a selector." does not agree with "selective fire shotguns": These weapons allow the user to switch between semi-automatic and pump action firing. Either the defintion needs to be changed to include selective fire shotguns or the part about selective fire shotguns needs to be removed. 65.197.192.130 17:34, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
