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..

When I used an M60 I only fired it in bursts. Now I think why didn't I go full auto suppressing fire?! I was only shooting at plastic bottles though, nothing fired back.

Shooting M16s and AK-47s same thing. I am a natural burst fire auto shooter. On the full auto setting btw. Again though nothing firing back. Bullets zipping past an ear change one's viewpoint quite well. .

I think I fire three or four rounds and watch the impact. Then fire again and again. If water filled plastic bottles, when one is destroyed, move to the next. A suppressing fire sweep might have been fun. Next time ...
