The AR-15 is not an automatic firearm; it is a semi-automatic rifle. This means that it fires one round each time the trigger is pulled, but does not continue firing automatically like fully automatic weapons. The AR-15 is designed for civilian use, while fully automatic versions, such as the M16, are military firearms.
