The Military perspective was that if soldiers were armed with multishot weapons, they would "waste" ammo, thus cost too much.
The cost factor was also the reason that the military used copper cased ctgs. in the .45/70 long after brass cases were on the market & being used almost exclusively by the civilian hunters.
From what I was told, same reason burst option was installed on M4's --vs full auto.. panic or whatever sets in. 3 shots per trigger pull vs complete mag dump..
