yeah, this kind of spiralling out of control thread happens in
all forums.. they all go this way.
anyway:
The last I fired the M16/M4s, there're only 3 selection of fire
rate. Lock, single & burst( semi-auto ). So unless theres a 4
selection that isn't marked, I've got no ideal where the auto fire
selection is.
you have to specify which version, as certain versions are
indeed full-auto capable.
saying just 'M16/M4' is far too vague.
for the standard us infantry rifleman, theyll be issued the M16A2.
this is fire select in semi and burst only.
one of the latest versions of the M16 series in service is the
M16A3, which is full-auto.
the A1 variant of the M4 is full-auto.
the various 'commando' [generic term] versions come in either burst
or full-auto variants.
so both posters are right and wrong. they just needed to specify
which model theyre referring to.
