ar-15

An American semi-automatic rifle designed in 1956 by Eugene Stoner and L. James Sullivan, based on the AR-10. AR stands for ArmaLite, its original manufacturer. The early design feature a top-mounted charging handle inside the carry handle. Its selective fire variant was eventually adopted by the U.S. military as the M16.

Predominantly available in .223/5.56mm caliber, the rifle enjoys huge popularity for its accuracy, and controllable recoil, as well as modular and customizable design despite surrounding controversies. It is manufactured and marketed by multiple companies.

This tag includes any variant of the AR-15, except for AR-based military rifles such as the M16, Colt Commando, M4 Carbine, or HK416.
