Yeah, I tend to think real world.
3 round Burst IS FULL AUTO to the ATF. heck to them even a 2 round 'burst' is full auto, and if done on a weapon that is not papered, you get 10 years in the slammer. I looked at the sentence. He says "many of the military's rifles don't even have that capability." I read it to mean "Military" as an all inclusive word for, well, the military, i.e. people in uniform. But it could be read as exclusively the U.S. Military (only) as well.
I get what he means, but to gun geeks like myself, if he's not very specific, he sounds like a dork. But that's just me
