Explain what any of that has to do with what it was DESIGNED for..Huey » 16 Oct 2020, 12:16 pm » wrote: ↑ Already covered. The Armalite AR 15 was rebranded the M 16. The AR 15 SPORTER was specifically designed for civilian use. In 1959, ArmaLite sold its rights to the AR-15 to Colt due to financial difficulties and limitations in terms of manpower and production capacity.[6] After modifications (most notably, the charging handle was re-located from under the carrying handle like AR-10 to the rear of the receiver),[7] Colt rebranded it the Colt 601, however it still carried the Armalite markings due to contractual obligations to Armalite/Fairchild Aircraft Co. Colt marketed the redesigned rifle to various military services around the world and it was subsequently adopted by the U.S. military as the M16 rifle, which went into production in March 1964.[5][8]Colt continued to use the AR-15 trademark for its line of semi-automatic-only rifles marketed to civilian and law-enforcement customers, known as Colt AR-15.
So why is the AR 15 style weapons not used by the military if it was designed for battlefield use? Could it be found in the last sentence? Because it is semi auto only? That is what distinguished civilian AR 15s from weapons designed for the battlefield.
What else you got? You keep setting 'em up and I will keep knocking them down.
