The BAR had selective fire capability, though I wouldn't want to try and fire an accurate single shot from that weapon due to it's open bolt and weight.

That being said, I would say the BAR is a pretty good example of full auto in an individual weapon, as shown by the use of BARs by Marine walking point in the jungles of the Pacific.
