If you have used the G36E as long as I have, you would know how godly the XM8 is. The tap-firing capabilities, which are almost as good as the G36's, the sniper scope which is on target unlike the G36E's, and the capability in CQB, where you can just own them with short bursts, or full auto, if you can control the recoil. Do you really need a feature to 'burst' fire, when you can either do it manually or tap-fire? Can't you combat the 'high recoil', which isn't really a big deal, at all? Just go tap-tap-tap and the gun doesn't jam and fire in 2 fire bursts, like the AK74M does! Treat it like a G36E, and get good results.
