Changing the name of what we call our rifle platform

[DANGERTASTIC!]

the AR does stand for Automatic Rifle, though produced by Armalite

It stands for Armalite Rifle, model 15.

MIS-information over the net....gotta love it.


On the subject of naming guns to something different,

You can call them Rifle,Carbine, Sniper rifle, or Black death machine.....when it comes down to it, they are TOOLS, nothing more.

Different tools have different purposes. Some people use a HAMMER to fix anything. However it may be the WRONG tool, they still do it anyway. This is often applied in real world and you can see it on an almost weekly basis, guys using a .338 for shooting Coyotes. It works but its a little "Overkill".

Or when you see "Bubbas" at the range shooting dirt clods with an AK.....when we know all you need to take down those evil dirt clods with is a .22
