"One, that semi-automatics only single fire, per trigger pull ---- except that as has been demonstrated, that frequency of fire, particularly with the various means of bump firing, is so similar to full auto as to have virtually no difference"
You can aim a fully auto weapon firing properly in FA mode, if you're strong enough to control it. By the very mechanism by which a rifle is bump fired, you cannot control the weapon with anywhere near the precision. You have to hold the gun loosely in your hand and let the recoil jack the weapon back and forth against your trigger finger.
Hard enough to control FA weapons without holding them like that.
