Differences Between Fire Modes

Fire Mode	Pros	Cons
Single Fire	• Less recoil and bullet spread makes shooting from a distance easier.	• Manual firing makes it hard to fight at short-range distance.
Full Auto	• Auto-firing makes it good at close range encounters.	• Bullets spread too much and recoil is hard to control, making it bad at long-range shootouts.
Burst	• Burst-fire can easily delete stationary soldiers regardless of their distance.	• Targets moving sideways are hard to hit.
