I see.
Am I right in thinking that some assault rifles, like AK-47 or M16 or the shit one that UK troops use, have the option of being semi or full auto?

Yes
That's the primary difference between assault rifles like the M15 and automatic rifles like our own SA-80.

I believe the version of the SA80 issued to UK troops is only semi automatic.
In encourages aimed shots and saves ammo.

Doesn't it also spit casings directly into your face if you're stupid enough to be left handed?

I don't know exactly
it was a problem when I was in the cadets about 15 years ago. I seem to remember they made a variant with the breech on the other side. I haven't exactly been keeping up since then.

Nope, still right-handed only.
Stupid.
