"Armalite rifle" is a term used to describe two rifles developed for the Armalite Division of the Fairchild Aircraft Company - the AR-15, and the AR-18. The AR-15 was developed from the earlier AR-10. The AR-15 and AR-18 were both designed by Eugene Stoner.
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.

ARmalite Model 15 but it very commonly thought to be automatic rifle.
The AR-15 was a further development from scaling down the AR-10 rifle. Eugene Stoner designed the AR-10, but L. James Sullivan was primarily responsible for the development of the AR-15 from the AR-10.
If you are talking about the AR-15, then depending on what local we are talking about, then they are not illegal. AR-15 stands for Armalite 15, not assault rifle, and They are available to be bought in the united states in almost all areas.
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.
