The Army put the SOCOM barrel on Leg Army's M4s after they were told the Wanat (Afghanistan) action carbines failed due to the near cyclic rate of fire soldiers used to prevent being overrun by the massive shoulder-to-shoulder, in-depth human wave attacks the Taliban made [insert sarcastic smirk here].
Standard Army carbines at the time had three-round burst trigger groups. If the soldiers were going near cyclic and actually aiming at visible targets the action must have been terrible (and the Hajji body piles must have been high and deep).

In 2005 I formally recommended to the Infantry Directorate for Combat Developments (Small Arms) to improve the M4 for Marksmen would only take 1) replace the standard barrel with the SOCOM barrel; 2) swap the burst guts for the A1 fire control group (to improve the trigger -- they weren't going to buy Geissele Super Select Fire triggers ); and 3) free-float it. ACOGs were already in the system.
Ah, well. 66% is MUCH better than nothing. A Joe can buy his own Daniel Defense Omega 7.0 and not permanently modify the weapon.

Spot on. in addition, conventional wisdom was that after the first three rounds fired on Full Auto the sights were not on the target anymore and any remaining round fired were wasted.
In my experience, the three burst trigger mechanism resulted in a poor and unpredictable semi auto trigger.
