Even if he considers 3 round burst to NOT be full auto (the ATF thinks otherwise), he is still wrong for most of the other world's rifles.

He doesn't mean "the world"; he's referring to the U.S. military only. And he isn't saying we use semi-autos; he means burst capability. Which is true in part - most U.S. infantry rifles are safe-semi-burst. He is forgetting about the M249 and M240, but I guess he is mostly thinking rifles, since that's what most troops carry.
