anyone know about AR15/m16/M4's?

the M16 A1/A3 are full auto, and the A2/A4 are burst, right?

my question is, is there a fire selector switch for these guns in a safe/semi/burst/full configuration? like on some mp5's?

yes there is a selector switch it is burst/ auto/ safe/ and semi auto. Not sure how much like the mp5 it is. I have only shot full auto mp5s.

Its not an aftermarket selector, its the factory one.

on which ones? ive only seen either semi/burst or semi/full, but not semi/burst/full

there is one out there, but i wouldn't recommend them honestly, full automatic causes lots of Jams.

if you are going to do anything go with the switch (if you can find one) that does the burst.

thats what we use in the Marines!

good luck.

what type of weapon is this going on anyways??? M4?

none, its just curiosity, i hope to someday get approved for an m16a2, but i really want all three options, but if i cant find one i'll probably go with burst selector, it sounds alot funner to have to repeatedly pull the trigger in burst mode than just hold it down to empty a mag. what did they give you? m4 or m16? cause dont you guys use both?

I agree with darren0311 on this one. I can tell he is a grunt (0311) so I know he knows as well as I do (0317) that fully auto is never practical and simply a waste of ammo and will rarely feed as desired. I would suggest just getting a burst. More reliable and enjoyable to fire.

what is 0317? im pondering joining the Marines, i know im not eligible for the Navy, but idk about the Marines, but i really just want to be a grunt, or something to do with tanks

Cody, Im at work right now so if you want me to ask one of my Marines or Soldiers then let me know.

@ Enigmatic, i had the 0317mos as well, i would personally go with the M4, you have more options,ie optics and such.
plus, you can get the M4 version in 7.62, which means, heavier barrel, also, you can def reach out and touch something 500yds+ with accuracy!!! :-)

dont worry, im definantly going to have some 7.62's in my collection:gj:

but lets say i got an M16A2, would all the aftermarket uppers work for it? or would i need some special bolt or something, cause i want an original, bu twas planning on getting a 16'' flat top upper for it also

Scout Sniper (0317) Basically No# for your job title,
But you cant just be an 0317, you have to be in the infantry first, then try out for STA platoon (Scout Snipers) , this is called a "Indock" then they will send you to the Scout Sniper school, after you graduate from school (which has a huge drop out rate) you get the (0317) mos (MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY)

thats it in a short!

you really got to watch alot of the aftermarket stuff for it honestly, if you do get one, I would stay away from the cheaper ones and go with something like a Bushmaster or colt or something like that, they make alot of there own aftermartket stuff. Quality stuff.

thats good to know, cause i absolutly refuse to buy any M16/M4 that isnt a Colt lol, i love colt too much

I personally like colts and bushmasters, ther is a new company out there that makes a half decent one also, there higher end stuff is nice, "Panther Arms" is the name..

FYI, it took me 8 years in the Marines to get into the Scout Snipers if that tells you anything. its the toughest school in the military next to "SERE" school in MY Opinion

damn, 8yrs? how long have you been sniping? and also, how many deployments in those first 4yrs? thats all i would sign at first, then see if i want to re-enlist

I was in for a total of 15 years, did 3 tours over in Iraq.
