the m16a2 has three modes of fire safe, semi-auto, and three round burst.
In the military environment, the military safety standard applies, regardless of what the OSHA standard might be, unless there is a formal military policy specifying that the military will meet or exceed OSHA safety requirements.For workplaces outside the military, the military standard is irrelevant.

.223 caliber or 5.56mm.
Yes. The M16A2 and M16A4 have the same delta ring and handguard cap, therefore the railed handguard from an M16A4 should fit on the A2.
It was invented by the usmc in 2000 to be a replacement for the m16a2
550 Meters at a point target, 800 meters at an area target. By the way, M16A3 is not a military nomenclature - it was coined by Colt when they made an M16A2 with an M16A1 trigger group for export customers.
CAR-15 is a commercial marketing name coined by Colt. The original CAR-15s were simply shortened versions of the M16A1, and tended to be a bit problematic. The M4 was a revamped version of the CAR-15 models ordered by the US military (namely, the XM177). The receivers were based on the M16A2, rather than the earlier M16A1 receivers, extended feed ramps were added to reduce failure to feed stoppages, a 14.5 inch barrel with a standard flash suppressor was chosen in place of the 10 inch barrel and long flash suppressor used by the XM177, and there were some other improvements. Being designed in conjunction with the M16A2, the M4 has the same three round burst limitation as the M16A2. The M4A1 is more the same as the regular M4, except it is capable of true full auto fire.
