Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between an AR-15 and a military M16 or M4?

The primary difference lies in select-fire capability. Military M16s and M4s can fire in full-auto or burst modes, while civilian AR-15s are semi-automatic only. Owning select-fire firearms requires special licensing and is significantly more expensive.
