Oh, it's wonderful to see you curious about firearms, my friend! The M16 rifle can shoot accurately up to about 550-800 meters, depending on various factors like ammunition type and barrel length. Remember, it's important to handle firearms with care and always prioritize safety above all else.

With ALL firearms, the bullet begins to drop due to gravity the instant that it leaves the barrel. To shoot at targets farther away, the rifle is aimed at a point above the target, and gravity draws the bullet down into the target.

Is an m-16 full atomatic?

The m16 rifle is a select fire weapon. Select fire means it can be fired in the semiautomatic mode (1 pull of trigger= 1 shot) or it can be fired in the fully automatic mode (1 pull= shoot until trigger is released) The currently issued M16 is equipped for "burst" fire. When the selector switch is set to Burst, 1 trigger pull= 3 shots.
