What is the rate of fire for an AR-15?

The rate of fire for an AR-15 can vary depending on the specific model and modifications, but it typically ranges from 45 to 60 rounds per minute in semi-automatic mode, as each trigger pull fires one round. Some variants can achieve higher rates in fully automatic mode, if modified, but standard civilian AR-15s are semi-automatic only. This means that the shooter must pull the trigger for each shot.
