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.
