Is the functionality of any of those 4 guns different from the others, in terms of firing rate?

Yes. It certainly is.

What's the difference between M-16 and AR-15

? Myself, no difference.

Google. It's like magic from your computer.

Yes. It certainly is.

How so? We're talking mini-14 here, not the LEO/MIL AC 556.

Junior,

Too many text boxes to directly quote. It sounds to me as though you trotted out the tired "well the constitution was written over 200 years ago and the Forefathers could not have possibly envisioned the America of today, therefore it is no longer applicable" argument. If I am mistaken, my apologies.

I'll give you the first Mini-14 on that list. Fully loaded.

I'll take the second Mini-14 on that list. Fully loaded.

Let's see who can fire off 20 rounds first. That'd be your requested difference in firing rate.

One is a real "assault rifle" and can shoot fully automatic. The other cannot.

Actually, my understanding is that most M-16s in service are no longer fully automatic.

At this point, you're referring to volume of fire, not rate of fire but I'm sure you already know this.

Yeah, the A4 variant is a safe/semi/burst config. Not what the saturation on those is though.

For simplicity, it's the biggest difference between the two though.

Not really. Firing rate is generally reported as rounds per minute. Unless you're a heck of a lot faster at switching mags than I am I'm guessing that my effective firing rate is going to be quite a bit higher.

You guys are arguing semantics. The on paper RPM/ROF of those rifles is identical, because it's based on a hypothetical number. The real world numbers are obviously different.

That is correct but they are still select fire, just like some M-4s so his intent is on point. That full auto thing didn't work out very well in Vietnam and sucks for accuracy anyway.
