An Full Automatic continues to fire so long as the trigger is held down functioning like a machine gun until all rounds are spent.

This is not the AR-15. The AR-15 is a Semiautomatic, every time the trigger is pulled it fires 1 round.

Yup. It's sloppy reporting like this that gets the media and the public saying things like "The kid who shot up the school had an AR-15! That's a machine gun!! He was probably firing 300 bullets a minute!!!! We need to make AR-15s, or anything like them completely illegal! Who goes hunting with a machine gun?!"

If the public understood the reality, there would be a lot less anti-gun fervor.

I saw a new terminology for A-15s.

They are now called Modern Sportsmans Rifles.

Sure, that is your standard manufactured AR-15, but remember that the AR-15 was designed as a fully auto weapon and can easily be converted back into one. This guy is printing his own receivers, so he could have easily and legally done just that.

The patents for Eugene Stoner's AR-15b rifle developed for Armalite asa subsidiary of Fairchild Industries subsidiary of Fairchild Aircraft, were for a fully automatic weapon.

It wasn't until around 1962 that Colt Industries, by that time manufacturing the AR-15 design as the XM16 rifle for USAF and U.S. Army contract consideration, began the manufacture of a semiauuto-only version, known as the SP-1.
