I was careful to note the M16 as the military full auto version. The AR15 was the base platform presented to the military as a "prototype" (please note quotation marks) for the new infantry weapon. But you ignored that, didn't you. Winchester also provided a prototype based on the M14 (known now as the Mini14) as did others. The AR made the cut.

You are here to manufacture some sort of defense for selling a gun designed by the military for the military to civilians without training or instruction by making a small modification to the firing function.

Worse than that you are here to derail any discussion of whether such weapons should be available to the public at large by leading the thread down a rabbit hole of minutea of full vs semi when even the pentagon no longer believes full auto infantry rifles are a good idea. That is why current infantry weapons fire a burst of three rounds and squads are issued a SAW for suppressing fire.

Let us make no mistake about why you are here, okay?
