According to my sources the FG42 could fire on fully automatic. In fact the (AFAIK) unique feature of its design is that it fired with a closed bolt in single shot mode and from an open bolt in automatic mode. I suppose the whole idea is no sillier than NATO adopting a full power 7.63 cartridge in the 50s.
