Right then when u read up a couple of sections it says the same thing I
posted.
When the trigger is pulled 3 rounds are fired.
With the same URL you gave..
Combination of
automatic and
semiautomatic fire
. Some weapons, designed to fire automatically or semi-automatically, have a
selector
that permits the shooter to choose the type of fire desired.
. Burst control. The M16A2 fires automatically for three rounds when the
selector is on
burst. Therefore, the M16A2 combines both automatic and semiautomatic fire
but is
limited to a maximum of three rounds in one burst of fire.
Then there is another part about burst and then has that NOTE:
At any rate, I have shot the M16A2, when you pull and release it fires 3
rounds. Regardless if you pull and hold the trigger or just pull and release
the trigger.
Although that was quite a few years back so maybe they redid this dunno...
3 sites I went to .org's .mils have the same thing it fires 3 rounds
automatically in burst mode.

Not all weapons fire like that.
Burst Mode on the M16A2 fires 3 rounds when you pull the trigger. Then
fires
another 3 rounds when you pull the trigger again.

burst control device, that limits the number of rounds fired in the
automatic mode to three per trigger pull, which increases accuracy while
reducing ammunition expenditure
You should know better than to expect to get accurate information about
military
weapons from anywhere but the manufacturer's site or a .MIL domain
training-
related site.
According to the U.S. Marine Corp Basic School Weapons Handling and Safety
Course student handout (B2200) notes for the M16 Family page 25 (top):
NOTE: The burst cam is not "self-indexing." If BURST is selected, the
burst
cam does not automatically reset to
the first shot position of the 3-round burst unless the trigger is
released
before the cycle is complete. If the
trigger is released during the burst, and the 3-round cycle is
interrupted,
the next pull of the trigger fires the
rounds remaining in the interrupted cycle.
You can grab the PDF version of that manual at URL:
