The burst/spray rules originally applied to energy weapons in Rifts unless the rate of fire was listed as "single shot," "burst only," was a pulse weapon (L-20), or had some other kind of preset burst setting (C-12).
This was slowly weeded out, first by nerfing the gun listings, then by the RGMG's alternate rules for double-tapping instead of bursting, then finally killed off completely by RUE.
and about the gun the fires 3 simo shots (microseconds) does the gun rules only apply to guns with ammo or do you just use the ammo rules?
Not sure what you're asking here.

Nah. There are no spray rules not.
Guns only get the bursts listed for them, even with SDC assault rifles and such.
So the JA-10 only has the 1d6x10+10 setting, and the JA-11 can no longer burst at all.
