I don't see the point in burst mode. The same effect is derived from simply feathering the mouse button :|

Burst mode fires the shots more quickly and resets faster for the same DPS as Auto.

Besides, if you add remote detonation, you open up a wide array of cheese tactics where you have several M46 mines on the same spot to make big booms and free kills.

I've already thought of that; it was a favoured bombom tactic. M46 remote detonation will only activate one mine per 0.75 seconds. The mines cannot be chained (this is already true.)

.75 seconds isn't much time when you're already spending most of that trying to gather your bearings after the first explosion.

Them being remote detonated would mean the actual mine itself needs to be more visible.

I disagree in fixing something is not broken (M46).... but fix the MARS mine not to trespass walls ... :D

The M46 has very few users, btw.

Firestorm is a fantastic piece of weaponry.

Yes, to kill yourself!!... Please follow rates of suicides that the users have....
I reduced the amount I was using it because I was killing myself more with the weapon than from the enemy bullets... is good in damage but not the self damage...I've complaint about it several times before...
