What attachments did you have on the gun?

The ability for a gun to fire burst relies on its firing speed. The firing speed of the M41a isn't quite there, so you need a burst fire attachment or a quick fire to actually obtain burst with the rifle.

Burst fire attachment gives it 5 round burst. Which would be the 2 round upgrade it is supposed to give.

If you have any attachments that decrease firing speed, like a bipod or barrel charger, burst fire will not work properly.

M41A burst fire should work on a default rifle, with a three round burst.

Burst fire attachment should increase it to 4 round burst.

I've never had an issue with it, so this may be something recent, for whatever reason.

Did you toggle burst mode, or toggle fire rate?
Fire rate = Fire one shot when locked on, then lower weapon OR keep firing while locked on
Burst mode = Fire 2-round burst

Just tested about 5 times, no problems.

m41 fires only 1 round when you use a bipod, maybe you were using one? i guess thats intentional.

Well, I'm resolving this.

Noone else has the problem, and your steps don't allow for re-creation, as I followed them 6 times with 6 different weapons.
