The AR-10, the father of the AR-15, was created and designed by Eugene Stoner. It was originally created in the late 1950's and soon developed into a new type of assault rifle. In 1957, the AR-10 lost to the T-44, also known as the M-14, in military drills. The AR-10 did go into mass production in 1960 and was soon modified enough to be more reliable and dependable as the M-16A2 assault rifle (which it was after modifications). Soon, the M-16 was the main military issued assault rifle of the U.S. Military during the '60's. The M16A1 was the most common, having a weight of 2.89 kg. and the length of 986 mm. It was a very wide ranged assault rifle having a switch to change from, safety, automatic, and semi-auto. While automatic, it has a firing rate of 750 rpm.
It took a .223 Remington cartridge in a most common twenty round box clip. Colt developed the U.S. assault rifle with the best military records and history. There has been no batter assault rifle than the AR-15 until it's posterity today which is the M4, which is currently used in our Military today. If you play Call Of Duty, you might notice that the M16's have 30 round clips; well, that is bull crap, during the Vietnam War, these assault rifles used 20 round box clips. It wasn't until 1970 when the Military began to use 30 round box clips. These assault rifles are easy for attachments and are fairly easy and simple to modify. The AR 15 is one of the greatest assault rifles in history. Please agree with me you filthy Russian Katasznikowa(AK) 47 lovers!
