Was the MACO Pulse Rifle ever shown as capable of automatic fire? Or was it simple good fire discipline on the part of the MACOs?

A) It says right in the description which episodes that clip is from (it's the modified opening to the Mirror-universe 2-parter). B) The clip of the MACO roping down and firing looks just like semi-auto, which is nothing like full auto would.

In a sense, all phasers / disruptors are "semi auto" firing all the time. Click / trigger and it fires.

Perhaps the term rapid fire might be a better description.

And how would you know what "full auto" and "semi auto" would look like on a phaser and how do you know they would look nothing alike?

Also I know it's from the mirror universe episode opening you moron, I meant I don't know which episode that clip is taken from originally. They didn't shoot that for the title sequence.
