It's possible to make it full Auto, but it'd take like a ****ing month to get the right Automatic trigger grouping, new springs, and a new barrel, which is why they made the M4.

Dude, people, cut it down on the freakin language, will ya?!

Yes, M16A2 is an assault rifle, idiot! Just because it cannot fire full auto doesn't mean it's excluded in the Assault Rifles.

Why don't you use some common sense, huh?

We look back into history.

Assault Rifles:

Sturmgewehr 44, yeah, I would say that was "THE ASSAULT RIFLE", but that's from '44.

M16A1, first used in the Vietnam War(We all know that), was generated as a Semi-Automatic. But if you held back the front trigger along with the main, you'd place it into BURST fire rate.

The Vietcong: AK-47 (Avtomat Kalashnikov, '47, a fully developed semi-automatic rifle invented by a Russian Dude. The Chinese manufactured them and provided them to the Vietcong. American soldiers were known to pick them up during the war. It had 3 firing rates. Semi-Automatic was used frequently.

M16A1, a later developed M16 Rifle.

M4A1, the modified version of an M16. Shorter muzzle, it could provide a better performance than the M16. However, it has its drawbacks. The fact that the M4 Rifle was more compact(mid 90's), the barrel would obviously become a lot shorter and the muzzle velocity, don't even get me started on that one...scale of range lowered in 0.004%, but still faced great usage.

M60 machine guns: CLASSIFIED

AKS74/AK74: CLASSIFIED

Uzi 9mm: CLASSIFIED

THATS ALL I HAVE FOR NOW
