We did recently have a firearm ID discussion to do with length; it's how we established that that HMG that the infiltrator Terminator uses in Terminator couldn't be an M1919 as the old ID claimed (comparison of the reciever versus Charles Bronson holding an M1919 in Death Wish 3). I'd say the minimum information about a firearm should include the three major dimensions (length, weight, calibre) anyway.
I'm not saying firemodes aren't useful, don't get me wrong on that, just that they're situational in use for ID'ing.
Country of origin you could probably work into the introduction. "[Weapon] is a [country]-designed [weapon type]" (ie "The M16 is an American-designed assault rifle").
