What is the difference between an AR-15 rifle and m-16 rifle?
When Armalite first developed the rifle, they gave it the nomenclature of AR-15. When they sold the rights to Colt, Colt continued using the AR-15 name, and applied it to all variants of the rifle (usually accompanied by a model number). M16 is a military nomenclature - the rifles are still AR-15 rifles, but built to certain specifications, as required by military and law enforcement customers.
Who invented the M16A1?
The M16A1 is the U.S. military designation for the AR-15 rifle built by Colt. The AR-15 itself was invented in 1957 by Eugene Stoner (1922-1997) while at ArmaLite.

What does the lgc stand for on your colt ar 15 a2?

Which is better an AR 15 or a M4?
they are bothe very similar but i would have to say the m4 because of higher power and it is used by the military not like the ar-15 which is mostly used by law enforcement. It depends on the m4 though because there is a very wide variation of models of the m4 unlike the ar-15 which is one basic model... there isn't much difference between the m4 carbine and the ar-15
Is the AR-15 only semi-automatic?
AR-15 is a manufacturer's designation. When Armalite designated the rifle the AR-15, both fully automatic and semi auto only rifles were dubbed as such. M16 is a military nomenclature. Now, the AR-15 rifles you can buy at your local gun store without having to obtain an NFA Class III permit - those are semi auto only.
Who helped invent the M16?
The AR-10 was designed by Eugene Stoner in 1955. The AR-10 fired the 7.62x51 NATO round. The AR-10 was rejected by the military in favour of the M14. However, an updated version of the AR-10, the AR-15, was adopted by the US military and designated the M16. The M16 has since developed into several versions, including the A1, A2, A3, and A4.
How has technology?
I assume you mean how is an AR-15 rifle made, so here we go: The AR-15 is based on the 7.62 mm AR-10, designed by Eugene Stoner of the Fairchild ArmaLite corporation.[9] The AR-15 was developed as a lighter, 5.56 mm version of the AR-10. The "AR" in AR-15 comes from the ArmaLite name. ArmaLite's AR-1, AR-5, and some subsequent models were bolt action rifles, the AR-7 a semiautomatic survival rifle and there are shotguns and pistols whose model numbers include the "AR" prefix.[9] 1973 Colt AR-15 SP1 rifle with 'slab side' upper receiver (no forward assist) and original Colt 20 round box magazine ArmaLite sold its rights to the AR-10 and AR-15 to Colt in 1959. After a tour by Colt of the Far East, the first sale of AR-15s were made to Malaysia on 30 September 1959 with Colt's manufacture of their first 300 AR-15s in December 1959.[10] Colt marketed the AR-15 rifle to various military services around the world, including the U.S. Navy, Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps. The AR-15 was eventually adopted by the United States military under the designation M16. However, Colt continued to use the AR-15 trademark for its semi-automatic variants (AR-15, AR-15A2) which were marketed to civilian and law-enforcement customers. The original AR-15 was a very lightweight weapon, weighing less than 6 pounds with empty magazine, though later heavy-barrel versions of the civilian AR-15 can weigh upwards of 8.5 lbs.[11] Today the AR-15 and its variations are manufactured by many companies and have captured the affection of sport shooters and police forces around the world due to their accuracy and modularity.

What is better ar-15 or m-16?
The M16 is an AR-15. "M16" is simply a military nomenclature. As far as military rifles vs. civilian variants, the military rifles are manufactured under much more strict conditions than rifles manufactured for civilian sales. Actually, the above is incorrect. The manufacturing process for an AR-15 is the exact same as for an M16; the sole difference is a very minor mechanical one - the M16 is designed for selective fire (the option to fire in an automatic mode), while the AR-15 is semi-automatic only. Now, there are a variety of clones of the AR-15 design, and the quality on those varies, but actual AR-15s are produced by the same people as the M16, using the same equipment. Roughly 90% of the AR-15 parts are identical to those used in the M16. Objectively, the M16 is better than the AR-15 for only one reason: it also offers the option to shoot in a 3-round bursts, in addition to semi-automatic mode. That's the only difference.
Is an ar15 more powerful than an M16?
Potentially, they could be. The AR-15 is available in the calibre .223/5.56 The M16 is the military nomenclature for a particular model of AR-15, and is only available in 5.56x45 chambering as a semi or a fully automatic.
