Make a three-round burst that holding the trigger cannot chain

A burst weapon is meant to be tapped, but a held button can make it fire non-stop, and a quick release can cut the burst short. This entry defines when a burst starts, when it can be cut, and what happens to a press made while it recovers.

Why this works

A burst weapon gets its character from being a deliberate, repeated choice. If a held button repeats it automatically, it turns into a different weapon. Reacting to the moment the button goes down, not to the button being down, keeps one press to one burst.

When not to use it

Skip it when players use switches or one-button controllers that cannot tap fast, or when you want a weapon that simply keeps firing while held. Then offer a full-automatic mode or make the burst repeat on hold.
