Negative...
M16A1....full auto, non-removable carrying handle
M16A2...only change was that the full auto was removed and replaced with a 3-round burst selection
M16A3....New picatinny rail mounting system takes the place of the handguards
M16A4....removable carrying handle to allow for newer optics to be mounted on rail system
PWND...jk though...ive never really been a fan of the m16 and ar more so to a G3A3. I shot one that my uncle had "on the low" and that shit will fucking tear you up.
Outside of the militarys weapons I dont know shit about guns but I can tell you anything about pretty much any weapon in the Army. This may be a stupid question but what is the G3A3 and do you have a pic of one??

You just made it look like you knew everything about that gun and then he comes and shows all this info stating that you are wrong. But as I read on it look like in fact you know your stuff, and now he is wrong. So I guess im pwned for stating a wrong pwned-ness...Why am I owned again?. Well you get the picture.
Either way you still know ALOT more about weapons than I do so, ya. Didnt mean to offend just being funny.
Hmmmm
One wonders why go with an M16a4 when you can have an M16a3. the M16a3 has the ablity to full auto unlike the M16a4 which has the triple burst firing option of the M16a2. Going full auto is something that would very useful in a CQB style engagement which happens very often in MOUT situations.
The trigger/hammer group is basically similar to one, found in M1 Garand rifle, and, actually, traces its roots back to the early 1900s, when the great John M. Browning developed his famous Auto-5 semiautomatic shotgun. This basically consists of a hammer, a trigger, a disconnector, a full auto sear and some springs. The fire selector / safety switch is located at the left side of the receiver, above the pistol grip, and is easily operated by the right hand thumb. This switch has 3 positions: "safe", "semi" (single shots), and "auto" (full automatic on M16A1 and A3) or "burst" (3 rounds bursts, on M16A2 and A4). In the latter case (on the M16A2 and A4 rifles), the trigger unit also includes the ratchet device to count the shots fired.

Where did you get this info from because we have about 10 M16A3s in our company and none of them are full auto, Im not gonna say that none of them are because Im no gun expert, I just know that all the M16A3s that Ive ever seen have not had the burst option.
