the AR does stand for Automatic Rifle, though produced by Armalite
I didn't know what AR stood for so I just call mine Aaron's Reaper.

No, it stands for ARmalite.
There is a smart assed gunsmith somewhere I need to beat...
though I may have to give him the benefit of the doubt since he is a Colt armorer, and is only human.

How do you blame this mistake on the gunsmith? Since I presume you understood your AR-15 is semiautomatic, how would you ever think the AR stood for Automatic Rifle?
Because I was corrected by him on the designation of AR. ...like I said I am giving him the benefit of the doubt since he is a Colt Armorer, and the AR in CAR is Automatic Rifle. The other possibility is he was fucking with me and I missed the sarcasm.How do you blame this mistake on the gunsmith?

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

Most people don't know that the AR-10 was made before the AR-15.

I knew that. 10 comes before 15 unless you are counting backwards
