Not quite correct. In WW1 machine gun fire was used "en masse" so to speak at long range to attack enemy trenches and repel attacks. They were fired from heavy tripod MG's using water cooled belt fed weapons. They had traverse and elevation friction devices to limit movement. To control muzzle movement when firing.
Bi-pods, when resting on the ground achieve the same purpose.
IMO it takes at least 4-5000 rounds of full auto firing to learn to control the muzzle of a light automatic weapon, unsupported.
Most people get stupid ideas about guns from Hollywood.
