I am referring to Tony Shalhoub's "Monk" in the thread title. Why is it that a lot of 3-round burst weapons are standard for a 20-round magazine? As someone OCD for numbers, this honestly baffles me. I know if I were the one designing the gun, I'd have to opt for a 21- or 18-round magazine, just so all of your bursts are the same.
I *could* see the argument that multiples of 5 are better, but how many guns don't? Most high-capacity pistols have something like 13, 17, or 19 rounds, and I see 26-round magazines offered for the 6.8 SPC ARs. So why can't a weapon with 3-round burst have a 3X round magazine?
I'm sorry if this is kinda out of left field, but I'm on a break at work and was looking up machine pistols on the mother-of-all-reliability (wikipedia) and saw the Beretta 93R, and my OCD flared up...
