It is capable of semi-auto or 3 round burst mode.

However the M4A1 and Diemaco (now Colt Canada) C8 do have a full auto fire mode, rather than the three round burst.

How come the M4 carbine in CoD4 is fully auto isn't the m4 carbine the three round burst version of the M4A1?

Perhaps they just forgot to add the "A1" to the nomenclature in CoD4. But yes, you are correct - the standard M4 carbine has the three round burst feature, while the M4A1 and the Canadian variant of the M4 (the C8) have full auto capability.


Does the M4 carbine have a selector switch for full auto AND 3 round burst?

No, it does not. The M4 carbine has a three position selector - Safe - Semi - Burst, while the Diemaco C8 and M4A1 also have a three position selector - Safe - Semi - Auto.


Are the M16A1s and M16A2s semi or full auto?

The M16 rifles have three selector settings. On the M16A1, they are Safe - Full - Auto, and the A1 series rifles are capable of unrestricted full auto fire. On the M16A2, M16A4, and M4, the selector settings are Safe - Full - Burst, and they are limited to three round bursts.


Is an m4 semi automatic?

M4 is a nomenclature which was coined by the military. Is is a select fire weapon, with both semi-automatic and either burst of full auto firing modes. Civilian legal lookalikes which fire semi-auto only can be purchased, and some (such as Bushmaster's) are even marketed under the name "M4". However, most of these "M-forgeries" do not meet the specifications prescribed by the Department of Defence for the actual M4 carbine.


Is the m4a1 carbine gun automatic?

The basic M4 carbine is limited to three round bursts, but the M4A1 does indeed have unrestricted full auto capacity, as do the Canadian variants of the M4 (Diemaco [now Colt Canada] C8), and the unlicenced Chinese copy of the M4 (Norinco CQ-556A).

Can a civilian own a M4 Carbine?

Yes. There are many versions of the M4 Carbine available for civilian purchase. But you have to have a permit for it to be full automatic. Semi automatic AR-15 style rifles are very popular. Note- the full auto M-4 Carbine was created after May 1986. In the US, only those full auto firearms already registered to private citizens on that date could be transferred to a private citizen in the future. So while a semi-auto AR-15 style carbine is legal in most states, the full auto version cannot be transferred to a private citizen- too new.

What is difference between ar-15 and m4?

The AR-15 has a longer barrel, and is semi-automatic. The M4 is a carbine (short barrel) and is capable of fully automatic (burst) firing. The M4 cannot be owned by a private citizen in the US- they were made after the May 1986 cut off date to register full auto firearms.


What is better m4 or ak47s?

An M4 carbine would be better under almost all circumstances. It is lighter, more accurate at range (Assuming both have their stock sights), and more controllable in full auto mode. However, the AK47 is a cold war-era weapon while the M4A1 are much more modern. A more debatable and relevant question would be "Which is better, an M4 or an AK74?"
