Every single one of these guns are AR-15s. Only the San Bernadino gun is a variant of the AR-15 called the M-16...
Once again, you're a petty liar
Originally posted by Silent MasterNope, all those weapons are literally AR-15s dude. Don't weasel out of this one. A Bushmaster is literally just another AR-15. If you didn't know, AR-15 is a category of weapons.
IOW, you had to change your argument from AR-15 to AR-15 type rifle. just like I said.Do better reasearch next time.
The only exception is the San Bernadino one is a M-16 variant of AR-15, which should also be taken away.

No, they're not. you're just proving that you don't have the first clue about guns.

The AR in AR-15 stands for Armalite, which is a specific brand. people misusing the term doesn't change anything.

Providing links where people misuse to term just proves you didn't do the 30 seconds of research needed to learn that AR actually refers to Armalite.
The AR-15 was developed in the late 1950s as a civilian weapon by Eugene Stoner, a former Marine working for small California startup called ArmaLite (which is where the AR comes from). The gun, revolutionary for its light weight, easy care and adaptability with additional components, entered the mainstream in the mid-1960s, after Colt bought the patent and developed an automatic-fire version for troops in Vietnam, called the M16.
The civilian model wasn’t mass produced until the 1980s, after the original patent expired and a variety of companies began making them. That transformed a specific brand to a more generic offering on which a mini-industry would flourish.
Originally posted by Silent MasterWow. You're going into the etymological origins of the words in order to prove me wrong... This is the essence of pettiness.
So, while calling me a liar. you post info that actually proves I'm right about AR standing for Armalite.Good job 👆
AR-15s historically got their name from the inventor company Armalite that's true, but the patent expired and now the exact same gun is mass produced by other companies like Bushmaster.
And those folks in the gun business decided to make AR-15 the broad term for all these guns, not me.
So please stop lying now, it's over.
