just press the weapon select button to toggle fire rate. ie. for assualt

There, that's one item to scratch off the annoying bug list, and put

I could not work out how this mode was changing, I would find my self
in a fire fight, with spec-ops, and click-BANG.... one shot then I was
dead....drove me mad.

hit the key in error and suddenly singleshot mode.


gonna have to rebind that
