A light infantry company isn't going to have the same rules as a mechanized infantry, which has literally tons of ammo with them so they can shoot at everything.

If you are assaulting a fixed position then suppressive fire is used. If you are performing an ambush, troops in the open, then direct fire is used. Interlocking fields of fire are used for both attacking and defense. It's nothing more then making sure your field of fire is overlaps the next position.

In the defense mech units can do a mad minute firing everything you have. In a light infantry or small units full autos fire last and only if you are about to be overrun. You use grenades, claymore, and rifles first because the minute they can pinpoint the machine guns they're gonna start trying to kill them.
