The AR15 Rifle: Black Rifle Style
• An AR15 rifle is a lightweight, gas-operated, semi-automatic long gun. It is available in rifle, carbine, SBR, AR pistol, or similar forms and is available to the civilian market. Often referred to as America's Rifle (a play on AR) or black rifle, the weapon is one of the most popular rifles in the country. There are millions of these rifles in circulation today.
• The AR15 is not an "assault rifle", which by definion is a select-fire (i.e. capable of burst and/or automatic fire) weapon. Nor does AR stand for Assault Rifle. The AR15, often referred to as a "Modern Sporting Rifle," is a derivative of Eugene Stoner's ArmaLite AR10 and subsequent M16 designs.
• Modern Sporting Rifle is a term used by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) to describe modular, semi-auto long guns like the AR15.
• An AR15 lower receiver is considered a firearm by law whether it is a complete AR (i.e. with an upper receiver attached) or not. The upper receiver by itself is not a firearm.
What does AR in AR 15 stand for?
The AR stands for ArmaLite Rifle, not Assault Rifle. ArmaLite was the company that first built what we now recognize as the AR platform. Eugene Stoner, may he sit at the right hand of God, was the chief designer.
What is a complete AR15?
A complete AR15 comprises a completed receiver set (complete upper and lower), i.e., with all appropriate "guts" installed. These two halves (colloquially referred to as just "upper" and "lower") are hinged together immediately forward of the magazine well with a Receiver Pivot Pin. They are secured further back (just forward of the buffer tube) with a Takedown Pin. This may be a weapon built entirely by the manufacturer or one assembled from a rifle kit. It might also be a "Frankengun," with parts pieced together from a variety of manufacturers, e.g. a bolt carrier group from Aero Precision, a stainless barrel from Bravo Company Manufacturing, lower parts from Springfield Armory, etc.
What AR-15 does the military use?
It doesn't. The military uses the M16, M4, and other rifles and carbines. Military rifles are typically select fire.
What caliber is the AR 15?
The AR is a very adaptable and utilitarian platform. Although a "typical" AR15 is chambered in .223 Wylde, .223 Remington, or 5.56 NATO, you can get one in virtually any mass-production caliber, including pistol calibers - that at that point you start to get into weapons categorized as AR-9s (9mm "Pistol Caliber Carbine), AR-10s (7.62x39), and others. There are ARs chambered in everything from .22lr to .50 caliber.
