That's funny - I always heard that "AR" stood for "American Rifle" and thought it was just a specific series of models at Armalite.
Hmm - you learn something new every day

I always wondered how they came up with "AR". kind of interesting on how it became the industry standard.
I believe that when Armalite sold the patent to Colt the name went with it. To the best of my knowledge the title "AR15" is owned by Colt, hence making Colt the only AR15 on the market. Although if I remember correctly Bushmaster leased the patent or name, designating some of their rifles AR15 and these rifles are stamped as such. Please correct me of I'm wrong.
my bushmaster says xm15 on the receiver
thats more of a light machine gun than a "assult rifle". however i believe that ohio ordance makes a semi automatic version for around 5K$. and they are WAY heavy. but i guess were all entitled to our own opinion.
I prefer the .177 cal daisy pump.

They also make the AR-24. A semi-automatic 9mm handgun.

Man I want one of those things badly.
You are right it is a light machine gun firing a battle rifle cartridge.
