Friend of mine had one of those and didn't like it much. Said it fired too fast. He didn't even know it had a semi auto selector...

Unfortunately, Ordnance bought into the Russian
method: spray and pray by poorly trained troops. Enough bullets eventually work. They beat the Germans by sheer numbers... whenever the odds were 3:1 against them, the German won. At 5:1 it was touch and go, over that the Russians won. The best history is "Hitler Turns East" by Carrell.
Real men measure once and cut.
