So, I'm planning on running a WW1-themed oneshot utilizing the modern gun rules featured in Reign of Winter: Rasputin Must Die!. What I want to know is...while automatic weapons fire in "bursts" that call for individual attack rolls against any enemy in a line, would this apply to an automatic weapon that fires spells using the Arcane Gun class feature? I'm assuming that I can't just shoot a huge volley of scorching rays, right?

Depending on what Paizo has to say on the matter, it might determine how viable the "machine gun mage" is as a class specialization.

Arcane Gun doesn't actually "fire" spells. It allows him to use a firearm as a focus for his spells, adding its enhacement bonus to save DC's and attack rolls and possibly improving the spells critical bonus. So the burst abilities wouldn't apply to spells because you aren't actually using it as a firearm in that instance, you're just using it as a spell focus.
Oh.
Okay! :)
