At 08:55 PM 5/10/2005, you wrote: >3 sites I went to .org's .mils have the same thing it fires 3 rounds >automatically in burst mode. > >http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/systems/dvic534.htm Link above is not to an actual training manual, wherein one might learn all the subtle nuances of the weapon. Are you suggesting that some random web pages are superior in authority to an actual scanned *US MARINE CLASS TRAINING MANUAL* ??? >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. Did you actually try to make it cut the bursts short ? Why do I find that hard to believe? I shall now quote from page 4 (top paragraph) of the M16A2 MILSPEC document for the M16A2 Assault Rifle: "MIL-R-63997B(AR) MILITARY SPECIFICATION Rifle, 5.56mm: M16A2", which is available from Armalite (the "AR" in AR-15) at the following URL: http://www.ar15.com/content/manuals/m16a2milspec.pdf quote: "... When the selector is placed in the "BURST" "position, it shall permit the automatic sear to engage the hammer, "so that the rifle is capable of burst firing. (One, two, or three "continuous shots the first time the trigger is pulled and held "back. Three continuous shots on the second and each successive "time the trigger is pulled and held back. One, two or three shots "if the trigger is released before completion of the three shot "cycle or all cartridges are expended before completion of the "three shot cycle.)" This is from the DoD manufacturing specification for the M16A2 dated 12 December 1986. Do you think you know more about this weapon than both the USMC and the DoD? Michael A.
