Cyrus shoots out a plane door lock with the M16A2 on full auto, showing it is a fully-automatic gun.

Rubber M16 prop

When Cyrus throws down his empty M16A2, it changes to a rubber prop featuring the M16A1 sights and lacking a forward assist, shell deflector, and magazine fencing. This means that the prop was mostly likely cast from a civilian AR-15 Sporter-1 rifle fitted with M16A2 handguard.

The rubber M16 prop bounces on the floor.
