Single shot rifles for classes other than infiltrator?

I guess it might depend on the faction you were to determine the settings:

TR: Three round burst and full-auto
NC: Single shot and three round burst
Vanu: Two round burst and five round burst (because they are lasers, no full-auto; Have to recharge)

Well like others are saying its possible they already have these kind of toggles on the current Assault Rifles. But that doesn't really add I think what the OP wanted. Which is unique guns that have this lower rate of fire in general but are more powerful. Basically a more powerful but more skill based infantry rifle that wouldn't be as useful in close quarters. I think there is room in the for both personally.

An while you could do it through attachments/customization potentially that runs the risk of making it hard to tell what your opponent is actually using. It's already bad enough that as a pilot you will never know whether its safe to approach a tank or if it will have an AA turret that will shred you in seconds.
