Comparing the AR with other Legal Firearms

[M14 Shooter]

Using Military terms, a Battle Rifle is usually a 30 Cal or larger that isn't exactly light. The Military calls it an Assault Rifle.

The military doesn't call the AR15 anything.

No....the Thompson was a big, heavy gun....modern guns are much lighter and smaller....that finished off the Thompson

What killed off the Thompson was that it was a finely crafted, expensive weapon. It had tons of parts that had to be machined included the receiver that had to be machined out of a block of steel. It's weight made it more accurate than other .45ACP sub machine guns.

Moron......you are a moron....

The AR-15 is virtually the same gun without the fully automatic capabilities. Not to mention, that legal options exist for the AR-15, making it even more similar.

Now go and talk to morons like yourself.

The military doesn't call the AR15 anything.

I first qualified on an AR-15 Model 601. It was later restamped as the AR-15 Model 601 (M-16). I thought I was qualifying on an M-16 but the charging handle is slightly different on the 601 versus the 602 and up. The M-16 (ar-15 model 602, 603 and 604) all had the t handle. While the 601 had a wedge shape. Up until about 1968, the AF called theirs the AR-15 Model 601. On that year, the Army wholesale purchased the rifle, made some consmetic changes and it was renamed the AR-15 Model 602. But all rifles had to begin with the M designator so it was stamped the M-16A-1A. The AF had no choice but to upgrade their current 14,000 601s to the 602 specs and added the stamp of M-16 at the end of the AR-15 Model 601 in parentheses.

Even today, the manufacturers model number is the AR-15 Model 604 but it's stamped M-16 for the Military. So EVERY M-16 is really an AR-15 and always has been. Much like the AR-15 Model 750 ( no longer made) and the LE6920 are also both AR-15s.

All but a handful of parts are completely interchangeable between the M-16 and the AR-15 Model 750 and the LE6920.

Anyone who really knows about firearms knows that what are called AR 15 STYLE weapons are simply everyday, run of the mill semi automatic rifle that have features installed that are for optics, not function.

Below is a ban compliant AR 15 style rifle:

And if you know about the history and development of the AR-15 (which you do know) then you are also aware that it was initially designed for the US military and (even though in very small number) it was also introduced and used by US military forces - aka US Air-force.

That you are one of those being afraid that a possible future gun law might lead to further regulations or even to a ban towards the AR-15 is understood.

You mean it is exactly like every other semi-automatic firing rifle....yes.....you are correct....it is, however, firing an under powered 5.56 round.......

It is no different than any other rifle out there...you dumb fuck.

Moron.......it's first use was as a civilian rifle before it was ever completely changed for the U.S. military.......as my links show over and over again.

 

[BoostedHayabusa]

Moron.....the AR-15 is under powered as a rifle......

Anyone with any gun makes any gun free zone into a killing field... you dope.

The AR-15 is a human killing machine. Makes easy work of humans.
Yeah, underpowered for a bear. dope

No you dumb fuck - it was developed and designed for the US military:

The AR-15 was designed in response to a request by the U.S. Continental Army Command for a smaller .223 rifle to test that could replace, all in a single rifle, the Browning Automatic Rifle, M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, Thompson Submachine Gun, and M3 “Grease Gun.”

The AR-15 rifle was nixed in favor of the M14, despite the fact that the AR-15 performed far better in testing.

- then ridden of it's auto-function by Co. Colt, and sold to wanna be military gun nuts. People who resort to foul language wander into ignore.

Believe it or not, the M-16A1 is not banned. It's fully auto and anyone that can pass a normal Background Check can also pass the EFL firearms license to own one. But it's going to cost you. The last time I checked, pieces of junk were starting at 30K. You will be closer to 35K for a good one. Of course, there will be some rules you have to live by.

No...dumb ass.......have a 3 year old read this to you, they will understand it, since you obviously do not, and then they can try to explain it to you.....

The FOIA request itself was prompted from a Nov. 2017 article in The Atlantic in which the magazine, unsurprisingly to anyone familiar with its anti-gun bent, attempted to bolster a claim that “these rifles were meant for the military, not civilians.”

“Colt sent a pilot model rifle (serial no. GX4968) to the BATF for civilian sale approval on Oct. 23, 1963. It was approved on Dec. 10, 1963, and sales of the ‘Model R6000 Colt AR-15 SP1 Sporter Rifle’ began on Jan 2, 1964,” one critic of the article contended. “The M16 wasn’t issued to infantry units until 1965 (as the XM16E1), wasn’t standardized as the M16A1 until 1967, and didn’t officially replace the M14 until 1969.”

Original ATF AR-15 Classification Refutes Claim that Rifle ‘Not Meant’ for Civilians



Colt's then produced two firearms lines from the patents.



The semiautomatic AR-15 rifle was introduced to the civilian market in 1964.





The M16 was an automatic (machine gun) version for military use; it was sold in large quantities to the U.S. military and became a standard infantry weapon during the Vietnam War. The M16 and AR-15 look the same, except that the M16 has a selector switch that allows the user to choose automatic fire. Internally, the M16 has components for automatic fire and the AR-15 does not. Today, the military has adopted an improved version of the M16, namely the M4 carbine. (A carbine is a relatively short rifle.)

The M16. Yes.
Not the AR15 widely sold in stores today and the subject of so much nonsense from the anti-gun left.

In 1959, Maylasia purchased a few thousand of the AR-15 Model 601 and fell in love with it. Yes, it was full auto.
