Just making sure you see it.  Not reading and striking thru was your downfall on the gun issue.

That's impossible. 

The AR-15 was designed for the battle field.

It's capabilities as an Assault Rifle (not to be confused with Machine Gun) were optimized by a round developed specifically for a military Doctrine.

There are numerous VARIANTS, but only one DESIGN.

End of story.

What didn't I get right the first time?

Yes, the Armalite Rifle 15, Which Colt named the c601, and later designated the M16, was designed for the battlefield.

Yes, the Armalite Rifle 15, Which Colt named the c601, and later designated the M16, was an assault rifle as defined by the DOD definition.  The round was primarily "optimized' to be lighter than the 7.62 or .30 caliber so soldiers could carry more ammo.  It had to maintain velocity out to 500 yards.  It also defined as a machine gun by the NFAs that the ATF enforces.

There are numerous VARIANTS, but only one DESIGN.

Incorrect.  A variant is defined:

a form or version of something that differs in some respect from other forms of the same thing or from a standard.

The Colt SP1 did not fit the DOD definition of an assault rifle because of the DESIGN and operating change of the trigger function and the selector switch.  It also does not meet the definition of a machine gun by the NFAs that are enforced by the ATF. 

Are you ready to answer the questions concerning the lowers I posted?
