Fire mode

s are a function featured on several fully automatic guns in Call of Duty which allow the player to choose how the gun is fired. The player has complete freedom on whether or not it is used as it doesn't have to be used at any point in the game. There are two variants of this:

Single Fire Mode
This version stops the gun from being fired fully automatically, and on most guns increases hipfire accuracy. It is the most common version found on guns. Overall this is better for long range whilst should be avoided in close battles despite the better hipfire accuracy. Guns which use it are:


 * MP-44
 * FG-42
 * Thompson (Note that this is one of the few instances where recoil is increased instead.)

Slow Fire Mode

 * Found only on the BAR, rather than making the gun semi-automatic, this instead reduces the rate of fire. Whilst reducing its overall DPS, it helps save ammo with more accuracy and lower recoil.

Trivia

 * Select Fire is more or less the spiritual successor to this, however has never been implemented in the final version of any game.
