Automatics fire multiple rounds with 1 squeeze of the trigger. Maybe the AR-15 can fire 13.3 rounds as an automatic?
In any case, civilians should not have automatic weapons. Limit the clip capacity for semi-autos. I'm fine with that too.

You are correct with your rate of fire analysis and your joke.
However, I think it's basically impossible for a citizen to obtain a fully automatic assault rifle (like an M-16). The vast majority of assault rifles you see in the USA are a variant of the AR-15 semi auto. The AK-47 variants you see in the USA are specifically designed for the American market to be semi-auto. I could be mistaken here, but this is what I've come to generally understand.
I don't hate guns mind you. I think it's great fun to hit the range, but I'm obviously a big proponent of controlling the supply chain a lot more.
My dream gun is the Stg-44; the original automatic assault rifle. Next to impossible to acquire, but I guess I just have a taste for the finer things in life
Next on the list is the 9mm Mauser Luger, which can be yours for the low, low price of $10k USD haha. Fairly easy to acquire rare SS versions that were stolen during the invasion and brought to the USA and sold.
