There's two ways to start this process. The first is to obtain a Class III NFA tax stamp with the purchase of a registered Class III lower receiver or trigger group. The second is to obtain either a Type 7 or Type 10 FFL with Class II Special Occupational Tax Stamp. Those are the first steps to go about it the legal way. Guides on how to go about it in an illegal fashion will not be provided on this website.
AR-15 is a manufacturer's designation. When Armalite designated the rifle the AR-15, both fully automatic and semi auto only rifles were dubbed as such. M16 is a military nomenclature. Now, the AR-15 rifles you can buy at your local gun store without having to obtain an NFA Class III permit - those are semi auto only.
The M3 is the semi-automatic version of the Ar-15 (M4).
Potentially, they could be. The AR-15 is available in the calibre .223/5.56 The M16 is the military nomenclature for a particular model of AR-15, and is only available in 5.56x45 chambering as a semi or a fully automatic.

Yes! You can have an ordinary rifle and you don't have to have a license. But a Full-Automatic, military issued rifle needs to have a license. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A LICENSE FOR IT!

The lower receiver will be configured so that the weapon can be fired in full auto or burst.
The AR 15 is a semi automatic firearm- it fires one shot with one pull of the trigger. It can fire as fast as you can pull the trigger. However, that will NOT be accurate, aimed fire.
The answer below is false, the AR-15 has no "automatic fire mode", the M-16 (to which the AR-15 looks like) has a rate of about 800 rpm (however that's more of a representation of how fast you can empty a magazine in relation to 1 minute, it would be impossible to successfully fire this many rounds while managing to reload every 3 seconds 20 times in said minute) and also has no "automatic fire mode," it has a 3 round burst. The AR-15 (if you're actually aiming at anything) is close to about 60 rpm, similar to the average hunting rifle.The AR-15 rifle has a cyclic fire rate of 800 rounds per minute. However, this is only in fully automatic fire mode. When firing on semi-automatic, the shooter can expect to put 45-60 rounds downrange in a minute depending on how fast he/she can pull the trigger.
