M14 Shooter
The Light of Truth
Feel free to illustrate how any of what I said is wrong.Conservatives generally make their own definition for everything, and most of the time it doesn't match up with reality...So?The AR-15 is the civilian version of the M16.
The standard .223 round is designed to tumble and cause a lot of damage, generally to wound an enemy HUMAN in combat rather than kill them as it takes two people to carry a wounded person, putting three people out of the fight. It was designed to fit a bayonet.
The M16 was designed as an assault rifle. Making it semi-automatic rather than full-automatic only means you can shoot less rounds per minute.
"Assault rifle" has a specific technical definition, based on operation and function.
An AR15 is not an assault rifle.
An "assault weapon" has a specific legal definition, based on cosmetic attachments that scare anti-gun loons.
An AR15 may or may not be an 'assault weapon".
