Someone likes his high horse doesn't he? The A2 was designed and adopted after the failure of the A1 model in Vietnam. The A3 is the full auto variant with the removable carry handle, in service with (and only) the U.S. Navy. The A4 model is the semi/3-round burst model of the A2, serviced by the USMC. There isn't much of a difference but both models exist. people gotta stop skimming over articles. Read that. v v v http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M16_rifle#Variants
