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.

What would you rather have an m4 or m16?
It really depends on the situation: The M4a1 carbine is often used by counter terrorist on indoor operations because of their small size and rate of fire. The M4 has a burst fire mode rather than an automatic fire mode. It is very effective in urban settings. The M16 is amazingly accurate and lighter than an AK47. Usually every squad or so has a back up M16a4 incase they are facing an enemy at a long range. Personally I would take an M4a1
