The difference is the M-16 is a fully automatic weapon where as the AR-15 is a semi-automatic.
Nah, the standard M16 used by the military hasn't been fully auto since the A1 during Vietnam. The military found that fully auto was just wasting ammo in modern wars. The A2 which is still the most widely used version does have burst mode which lets off 3 rounds automatically but they really just did it to make soldiers feel more confident in the weapon. The A3 is fully auto, but rarely used and then only by special forces. The Marines have started using the A4 which also utilizes a 3 round burst mode rather than full auto.

I know. I didn't use the different versions for simplicity sake. I just wanted to point out the simple difference.
