Best Answer

Yes, the M16 is an assault rifle, and thus has fully automatic capabilities. The XM16E1, M16A1, and M16A3 can fire on completely full auto, while the M16A2 and M16A3 can fire a three-round burst, which by legal definitions, is considered to be fully automatic.

Are M16 machine guns?

In a way the M16 is a machine gun, but it can also do three round burst and semi automatic. civilians are not allowed to have automatic m16s unless you have an automatic weapons permit, but you can have a semi automatic M16. (an AR-15 is almost like an M16 and much cheaper if you're looking to buy one.)

In the truest sense of the definition of "automatic", no a bb gun cannot be automatic. In function, however, a BB gun can be automatic. A good example would be the Drozd BB gun which fires full automatic, but used CO2 as the power source.
