So I know fuck and all about guns, but this sounds like a good way to ruin an AR-15.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video where military personnel are using full auto unless it’s mounted on top of a Humvee and they’re just trying to suppress the enemy.
My understanding is that full auto on most firearms will lead to a loss of control, wasting ammo, wearing your gun down quicker, and not really gaining much unless you’re really close firing into a crowd.
Which would mean that this modification is essentially beneficial in mass shootings and in no way beneficial to armed resistance?
Essentially yes. The amount of times I’ve switched off of semi (and not to safe) during my service is probably single digits. Full auto is for suppressive fire and novelty. Even for suppressive fire, controlled bursts are usually preferable.

I’m not sure how to take this comment as my sarcasm receptors have been burned to a crisp before leaving reddit. Did I say something wrong?
Omg I reread it out loud and it does sound sarcastic! I was being sincere. I agree with your assessment.
No worries mate, thanks for the clarity.
