I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

You're usually all over the place unless you just have superhuman control. Always best to fire in semi (single shot). Better control and fire discipline. ~Spaceships Don't Come Equipped With Rear View Mirrors~

I prefer 3 shot bursts followed by a couple of granades to really lay things down.
