Dunno. There are ways to turn an AR-15 into an M-16. The kits to do that are sold under the table at gun shows. Illegal as hell, but people do it. There are also kits that are legal called 'bump stocks' that allow you to use the recoil of the gun to squeeze the trigger, turning the weapon into a defacto fully autmatic weapon.
President Obama might actually have more information than us at this point.
There are ways to convert an AR-15 to something that is similar to an M4. However, to do so requires a bit more than a simple, under-the-table kit. Knowledge, expertise, the proper parts and a machine shop are required to do a proper conversion (that is truly illegal and will land you in jail). Otherwise, you're building yourself a weapon that may literally explode in your face.
And there are things like "bump stocks" and Hellfire triggers that utilize the recoil of the weapon to simulate full-auto fire. However, if you should watch youtube videos of this, you'll notice that the method of making this happen practically eliminates all tactical accuracy of the weapon- giving the shooter a more "spray and pray" approach.

OK, so assuming it's a lie, or an inaccuracy-- couldn't you baby killers use it to your advantage? I.e. "Lanza used a fully auomatic weapon-- so we don't need any bans on semi-automatic weapons?"
Quite simply, had Lanza actually used a fully automatic M4 then the media would have gone absolutely ballistic about it - more so that the North Hollywood Shootout in 1997. I mean really, that would be a great opportunity to push a heavy gun ban.
Considering the evidence, this is a demonstration of an outright, bold-faced lie from our president.
"An inaccuracy" is a way out that's palatable for the Obama apologists.
