Issue started today after about 2 hours of play - when firing a full-auto weapon, the gun will randomly stop shooting and then start and stop again at random intervals. Tested in both firing range and in match - in firing range, it happens about 1 in every 10 sprays, in matches much more often, practically every time a full auto weapon is fired.
Additionally, when using a wingman, the gun will fire twice when I only click once and burst weapons (hemlock and prowler) will fire two rapid bursts when only clicking once.
I know the issue is software related and only in-game/firing range because i have no mouse problems or irregularities outside of apex or in the apex lobby.
