Gibson told the blog that the semi-automatic carbine is capable of firing a three-round burst ...

This is reported on Military.com. What did the reporter omit or is this misleading?

IIRC, in Vietnam they decided that full auto can be a waste of ammo, and added a selector on the M16 that limits a trigger pull to "three round burst". It may still have a full auto selection, but "three round burst" is an option.
