if I'm right, AR15 has only Safe and Semiauto... M16 has Safe, Semiauto and Burst/Full Auto

On the homepage there are articles which you need to peruse, such as this one: [url]http://www.ar15.com/content/history/evolution.html[/url]
The main difference is one is "select fire" the other is semi-auto only, the M16 is the military designation for the rifle, the AR15 is the civilian designation. Here's a good reference site to read at also: [url]http://groups.msn.com/TheMarylandAR15ShootersSite[/url], with lots of good reading.... Mike |

Quoted: M-16= Fully-automatic assault rifle AR-15= Semi-automatic sporting firearm Made by Colt This is the generally accepted terminology today, but be advised both Armalite and Colt did produce Fully Automatic weapons called/stamped "AR-15" in the early days. |
