Home > Spray and Pray


 

Spray and Pray is a military doctrine that states that automatic gunfire can often not hit a single target in the desired area. The preferred strategy is to use controlled, aimed bursts rather than spraying an area with automatic fire. The US military is the only major military to no longer issue rifles with fully automatic capabilies, and have instead added a 3-shot burst to compenstate for lack of training and lack of confidence in a soldier's ability to control his fire.
