AR-15
The
AR-15 is an automatic
rifle designed by Eugene Stoner of the
Armalite corporation. It has been manufactured by various companies in both automatic and semiautomatic versions, in many configurations. Within the
US military, the rifle is known by the military designation
M16. Developed by Eugene Stoner after the AR-10 rifle, it preserved most of its predecessors admirable features, and was adopted in limited numbers by the US Air Force.
