1. It is listed as a civilian VARIANT. A variant of the Armalite AR-15.

This article describes the many variations of the Colt AR-15 and M16 rifle family of weapons produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company. Weapons patterned on the original ArmaLite AR-15 design

Note that both "family" and "design" are singular.

2. Entirely irrelevant.  Many weapons are DESIGNED and never issued as "standard". Semi-auto AR-15/M16s were bought and issued by USAF.

Acknowledge your humiliating defeat.

1.  The word VARIANT is not mentioned in that section:

Colt civilian models

Colt's civilian line of semi-automatic Colt AR-15 rifles is identified by a four digit code following a specific prefix. Initially all Colt civilian weapons were listed with an “R” prefix, with this changing to “AR” following the passage of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban in 1994. Colt also produced a line of weapons aimed at target shooters under the “MT” prefix, which stood for Match Target, as well as, the Colt Accurized Rifle, which was the only model to feature the CR prefix. Most recently with the shift in marketing policy by Colt Defense, these weapons have been given the “LE” and "LT" prefix. The "LT" series is modified version of the Colt 6720 featuring a lightweight "pencil" barrel with a free floating rail system. Only 1500 of the "LT" series were produced. Currently, Colt Defense has no line targeted specifically at the private civilian market.

2.  And it was never standard military issue because it was not designed for the military,.  As the source says.  

Game over.  You lose.  NEVER bring this up again.
