I probably wouldn't use it in that mode very often but it would be nice to know that my chances of getting more rounds on target were a little better.

I have to chime in here.The AK-74's and AK-47's recoil is night and day. The 47 has a major muzzle climb and more push to your shoulder. The 74 has almost none, it feels like it has less recoil then a M16 to me. I never gave the 74 much thought, until I shot one. It has better range then a 47 and is more accurate. The damage that it causes is pretty bad from what is said. The 7.62x39mm is just a spray and pray cartrigde with no intention of really reaching out there. Only probelm is it's still not as common in the world or U.S.A. as the 7.62x39mm.
