Are M16 machine guns?
In a way the M16 is a machine gun, but it can also do three round burst and semi automatic. civilians are not allowed to have automatic m16s unless you have an automatic weapons permit, but you can have a semi automatic M16. (an AR-15 is almost like an M16 and much cheaper if you're looking to buy one.)
How were the weapons diffrrent from other wars weapons?
The Vietnam War was the first helicopter war & the first war in history in which every uniformed combatant on both sides were armed with fully automatic assault rifles (M16s/AK47s).

All M16s are AR-15s, but not all AR-15s are M16s. Most parts are interchangeable; however, the inside of an M16 lower receiver is milled differently to accommodate the auto sear.

What materials were originally used to make the M16A4?
Pretty much the same that had been used to make all M16s - aluminum, steel (for the barrels), and plastic.
Is the m16 automatic?
The first M-16's (the M-16A1's) that were used in Vietnam had a fully automatic setting on the selector switch. All other versions of the M-16: the A2, A3, and A4, are only capable of single and 3-round bursts. Licensed M16s are manufactured in other countries, who do not use the three round burst. Canada, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia have all manufactured licensed M16 variants. And to correct a flaw in the first answer, the M16A3 actually is full auto - M16A3 was not a military nomenclature. The designation came from Colt, and it was intended to be an M16A2 for export customers who were not particularly keen on the three round burst limitation. So it used the M16A1 trigger group.
What is the best airsoft rifle?
Any rifle with a version two or version three gearbox. That includes the AR-15 series of guns (M4s, M16s, and anything of the like) or MP5s. These gearbox versions are the easiest to fix and upgrade.
How strong will the US military will be if they replaced all their m16s and m4s with MP5 submachine guns?
They'd be worse off. The MP5 is a very limited range weapon, firing a pistol cartridge. While the compact design may be nice for close quarters environments, the major drawback is that you would only have an effective range of 50 - 100 metres, whereas the M4 has an effective range of 500 metres at a point target, and 800 metres at an area target.
