Here is what the AF ordered:

In May 1962, following tests led by Gen. Curtis LeMay, the U.S. Air Force officially ordered a batch of select-fire ArmaLite AR-15s. This initial procurement paved the way for the rifle's widespread adoption and eventual redesignation as the M16. [1, 2, 3, 4]

You understand what Select-Fire is, correct?

Understanding the Distinction: Military vs. Civilian AR-15s

It’s vital to understand the distinction between the military M16 and the civilian AR-15. While both share a common design lineage, they are fundamentally different firearms. The M16 is a selective-fire rifle designed for military combat, while the civilian AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle designed for sporting purposes, hunting, and self-defense. Understanding this difference is crucial to accurately discussing the history and use of the AR-15 platform.
