The only one that I can think of off the top of my head is the Russian AN-94. The 2rnd burst it shoots is at a 1800rpm rate, so basically it seems to the shooter like just one shot is going off.

Some HK rifles and submachine guns have trigger packs available in 4 position safe, semi, 2 round and auto

The idea of the two round burst the Russians use is to hit the same spot, or very close, twice and defeat body armor. That is why it fires at such a high rate. My understanding is it has proven quite effective in tests.
HK33 and HK G36 do have variants available with the two round burst. I don't think they are close to the most popular variant and I wonder how popular they are or what major organizations have purchased them. At 700RPM there is not the same double hit effect.
For reference I believe the fastest cyclic rate on an AR type full auto put into service was a little over 900 RPM and that was slowed down as it was thought to be too fast.

The AN-94's two round burst is a cool idea. I think I read somewhere that the mechanism is rather complex though.
