the m16a2 has three modes of fire safe, semi-auto, and three round burst.
Being an assault rifle, the M16A1 has two modes of select fire. It can either be fired in semi-automatic, or fully automatic. The M16A3 shares the same trigger group, while the M16A2 and M16A4 have semi-automatic and three-round burst modes.
Yes and no. The M16A2 assault rifle has semi-automatic and three-round burst fire modes. Legally, three-round burst is considered to be fully automatic, as it uses the same principle as fully automatic fire. However, the M16A2 is not capable of allowing the user to hold down the trigger and empty the entire magazine, so it is not a true fully automatic weapon.
The M16A4 is a select fire weapon, but is limited to three round bursts, the same way the M16A2 is.
What is the maximum effective range of the M16A2 and M9?
@3100 meters more like 500 meters for single target effectiveness though.

Yes, it's a fully automatic version of a M16A2, which has only semi and 3 shot burst modes after some people realised that full auto wasted ammo, but can be much more helpful if there are many enemies around.
The M4A1 is a variant of the M4 carbine, now capable of fully automatic fire. The M4 was in turn derived from the M16A2 assault rifle, which has rear sights adjustable for elevation and a brass deflector for left-handed users. The M4 and M16A2 share the same receiver and trigger group.
@ 1m
if it fires more than one round (or BB ect.) it is not. By definition semi-automatic means it will fire with each pull of the trigger.
.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.
