I've got it, it's a great book. Unfortunately I have the no English version - it's got my M3A1 in it! Looking at Ian's video it appears it's still in there as I saw pics of it. I need to contact Michael and get that version.

I carried one ( M3A1 ) while in the Army...albeit not for general use...but as a special purpose weapon for use in a very specific role...Plus some friendly foreign national troops were still using it , when I worked with them...So I got to "play" with it then as well.

In any event....I found the M3A1 to be accurate enough for what it needed to do , and very controllable in full auto fire ..With practice one can get single shots or a "3 -5 round burst" from a trigger pull.

The cyclic rate is slow enough to useful and as you mention controllable.
