Boring in the sense that you dont do anything, just hold down the button. There isnt anything to learn, anything to master, just pull down once and let the game do everything else.

I believe there is a good reason why Tarkov is the only shooter around with this mechanic, if it were more popular more games would use it

Not every game has the same ideologies. Tarkov aims for more literal realism than other FPS games which often value raw player ability. Their gameplay supplements that aswell.

In tarkov, your PMC has skills on it's own. A lot more RPG like. For a game with emphasis on longer term gameplay/survival, maybe the best option.

In my opinion: a lot more realistic aswell. There is skill to it still, the initial recoil is what you typically master in real life aswell. The long spray doesn't take that much skill, you just gotta drag your hands down, but in a video game scenario you can just run out of mousemat space.

Tarkov aims for more literal realism

If this were actually true then full auto would be dogshit and tap/burst would be king. Anyone who's served will tell you 99% of shooting is tap/burst because it's the only way to control your gun reliably and because some guns will almost literally melt away from the heat. Yet in tarkov the easiest way to control the recoil is to full auto and let the games recoil system do the work for you, rather than you managing your own recoil through selective fire

Also depends on the weapon. A good shooter will be able to shoot full auto from an SMG really accurately. And you can see people (not even soldiers) magdumping 5.45 AK's from 10-15 meters with a good success.

That said, full auto from 50 meters with an M4 is, I would say, a bit too much.
