Understanding the Distinction: Military vs. Civilian AR-15s

It’s vital to understand the distinction between the military M16 and the civilian AR-15. While both share a common design lineage, they are fundamentally different firearms. The M16 is a selective-fire rifle designed for military combat, while the civilian AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle designed for sporting purposes, hunting, and self-defense. Understanding this difference is crucial to accurately discussing the history and use of the AR-15 platform.
