Wrong again. You’re not doing any research. . Colt took over the contract to supply the AR15 now M16 for the MILITARY IN 1964 Prior to that, 8500 AR15s by Armorlite were contracted and issued to the air force for testing. The positive experiences with the AR15 by Armorlite as a military weapon led to the rights being sold to Colt because of their superior production capability…..The m16 was then born. Colt then sold the civilian version under the AR15 / name.Nope. Armalite was founded and designed the first ARs before they sold out to Colt, who then got the first contract to supply the military
The first armalite ARs were designed and built with no military contracts and input. And it doesn't matter anyway. You leftist fag.Wrong again. You’re not doing any research. .

Hey dufus. Armorlite provided at least 8500 to the military under contract to be used by the Airforce dumbo. The govt requirements are the input dumbo. You can’t fking read can you ? The govt had no input ? Boy, you are feckless.The first armalite ARs were designed and built with no military contracts and input. And it doesn't matter anyway. You leftist fag.
An AR 15 is not an "extremely powerful" rifleThe only reason AR 15s are bought in the quantities they are is that they are identical in look to the "real thing" and, indeed, are the "real thing" save for minor details.
Rights are directly tied to responsibilities. Too many irresponsible people own extremely powerful weapons (and other things, such as cars, for that matter) based on having a "right" without any assurance of being responsible. That has to be addressed.
How many of the tens of millions of AR platform rifles chambered for the 5.56 NATO round that are currently owned by civilians are used in crimes annually?Doesn’t have to. There are tens of thousands of full autos out there too. Few if any are used in crimes each year. Well written Regulation stopped their frequent use cold.
Not that many full autos were ever used in crimes number wise before legislation. But as soon as they started to involved the slaughter of the most vulnerable, including our children and began to put law enforcement at risk, dumbo, THEY WERE REGULATED.How many of the tens of millions of AR platform rifles chambered for the 5.56 NATO round that are currently owned by civilians are used in crimes annually?
Red Herring. You are a military illiterate. The AR15 was designed to kill people more efficiently with small arms. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH HUNTING BEAR VS varmint. The same dumb arguments from the rightAn AR 15 is not an "extremely powerful" rifle
I own 3 rifles that are more powerful than that small caliber varmint gun
How many is "not that many"?Not that many full autos were ever used in crimes number wise before legislation. But as soon as they started to involved the slaughter of the most vulnerable, including our children and began to put law enforcement at risk, dumbo, THEY WERE REGULATED.
The high cap 9mm handgun also needs more regulation, especially from you gunners.
Not it wasn't.Red Herring. You are a military illiterate. The AR15 was designed to kill people more efficiently with small arms. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH HUNTING BEAR VS varmint. The same dumb arguments from the right
You’re reaching.Not it wasn't.
In fact the the military knows that a wounded combatant is more costly to the enemy than a dead one.
The 5.56 round was a compromise between power and quantity of fire. It was decide that a smaller LESS LETHAL caliber round that could be carried in higher quantities by soldiers was the best compromise.
Before the 5.56 round was adopted the US used both 7.62 and 6.8 mm rounds
In fact the 5.56 mm round is going to be phased out and most likely replaced with the 6.8 or the 7.62

This is why the US military uses 5.56mm ammo instead of 7.62mm
A common debate among veterans and gun enthusiasts revolves around why the U.S. chose the 5.56mm round into service instead of the 7.62mm.www.wearethemighty.com
You’re reaching.
Only because the military is facing more heavily body armored enemy . Sissy boys like you will not buy a heavier recoil firearm. The 5.56 will still dominate with you sissy boys, few of whom have ever served in the military or been under fire or been a cop facing mass shooters armed with AR15 platform rifles. Geesus, the AR10 didn’t make it because sissy boy draftees and Air force peoples didn’t have to carry and shoot a higher recoil firearm.

Hey dufus. Armorlite provided at least 8500 to the military under contract to be used by the Airforce dumbo. The govt requirements are the input dumbo. You can’t fking read can you ? The govt had no input ? Boy, you are feckless.
Contractors do R and D under govt contracts, from small to big. How are you this stupid ?
When the supply requirements got big, Colt took over….The govt funds everything. They ( Armorlite and Colt) aren’t called “ contractors” for nothing idiot.

Totally ignorant statement. It was chosen for the same reason the state police went from .40 cal back to 9mm. It’s sufficient for the task while still allowing sissy boys like you not to “suffer” the felt recoil and still carry more ammo. You obviously know very little about this cartridge and the AR15 in general. Before you keep making dumb statements, do some research or man up and join the military.The 5.56 was not chosen for its lethality.
They went after government contracts because they were not selling anything in the domestic markets. The company nor the original models were created with hey lets build this to sell our rifles to governments. The first government program/contest they entered was to supply pilots/air crews a smaller rifle they could use in case they got shot down. You stupid fuck face.Hey dufus.

You claim the AR15 was built with no gov input. The spec requirements from the govt is gov input, feckless sissy boy.They went after government contracts because they were not selling anything in the domestic markets.

Keep your posters straight.Wait, your earlier claim was that the M-16 was developed because people couldn't handle the power of the .30-06 M-14
Now you claim it's an "extremely powerful weapon"
You can't keep your story straight - a sure sign when someone is bullshitting.
