Yes. The M4A1 is a variant of the M4 carbine that replaces the three-round burst mode with fully automatic fire. Both rifles can also fire in semi-automatic mode.

Does the m4 have a full auto option?
It is capable of semi-auto or 3 round burst mode. However the M4A1 and Diemaco (now Colt Canada) C8 do have a full auto fire mode, rather than the three round burst.
Where can you buy an m4A1 gun?
If you are reffering to the current US military rifle that has a burst fire capability, in the US, you cannot. Only full auto (includes burst fire) guns that were already registered with the BATFE by May 1986 can be transferred to a private citizen. The M4A1 was developed after that. You COULD get the shorter barrel of an M4 mounted to a currently registered full auto- price for a LEGAL full auto M16 series rifle is about $12,000, plus a $200 registration tax.
Can you own a M4A1 rifle in Canada?
Only with a Prohibited Licence can you own a full auto firearm (which the M4A1 is). A semi-automatic AR-15 would require a Restricted licence.
Is an m4 automatic?

Is a M16 full auto or 3 round burst?
The M16A1, Diemaco/Colt Canada C7, Diemaco/Colt Canada C8, and M4A1 have fully unrestricted automatic fire. The M16A2, M16A4, M16A5, and M4 are limited to a three round burst.
What is the difference between an M4A1 to an M4 carbine?
An M4A1 has semi and full auto capabilities, the M4 has semi and three shot burst capability, both are used by the modern U.S. Military. An M-14 is an infantry rifle used in Vietnam and Korea.
Can a person own a M4A1 or AR15 in California?
The M4A1 is a select fire weapon with full auto capabilities. Unless you owned an NFA permitted full auto lower in California prior to 1989, you won't be allowed to get one. As for AR-15 type rifles, it is possible. They must be a brand not on the CA DOJ's list of banned receivers, and they must either use a "bullet button" (thus legally making them fixed magazine rifles), or they must be featureless (no collapsible or folding buttstock, no pronounced pistol grip, no forward grip, no flash suppressor).
How come the M4 carbine in CoD4 is fully auto isn't the m4 carbine the three round burst version of the M4A1?
Perhaps they just forgot to add the "A1" to the nomenclature in CoD4. But yes, you are correct - the standard M4 carbine has the three round burst feature, while the M4A1 and the Canadian variant of the M4 (the C8) have full auto capability.
Can civilians purchase an M4A1 automatic rifle?
Sort of. If you're in a state which will allow you to obtain a Class III permit to own a full auto firearm, you can buy a full auto pre-1986 AR-15 lower receiver, then purchase the upper receiver and other components.
Is the m4a1 carbine gun automatic?
The basic M4 carbine is limited to three round bursts, but the M4A1 does indeed have unrestricted full auto capacity, as do the Canadian variants of the M4 (Diemaco [now Colt Canada] C8), and the unlicenced Chinese copy of the M4 (Norinco CQ-556A).
What is the rate of fire for the M1 carbine?
On full auto about 850 rounds per minute. However, the M2 was the full auto - the M1 was semi auto only, and the rate of fire was as fast as one could pull the trigger.
How much is a m4a1colt assault rifle?
It has no value to a private citizen. The M4A1 was made after May 1986, and is capable of fully automatic fire. ONLY the full auto firearms already registered with the BATFE by May 1986 can be transferred to or owned by a private citizen. Since you cannot legally own it, it has no value.
