A-FIXER:
yes even those in the last link from your post, there are those who also concede that reporting is at best weak and barely accepted as factual in any context. I am not a gunsmith but the AR I own could be made to fire auto with selective fire and modifications. But it doesn't and never will by my hand or desires. Thanks for the news link though.....

AAllen:
From the last story you posted it said he had an MP5 doing a little web search it sounds like it was possible to make some of these misfire where they would fire without pulling the trigger or possibly fire more than one round with only one pull of the trigger.  NOTE: this was uncommon and seems to have happened in unusual situations liek testing labs, there is one case of a police officer carrying one without the safety on and it went off (don't want to say this could not have been an only one situation but it was reported as a firearm malfunction).

Since there was not an attempt to alter the firearm to be auto, and it was not manufactured to be auto, and seems not to have always fired auto (story says they could make it happen); what would you think he should have recieved as a punishment?
