The AR-15 is not an automatic firearm; it is a semi-automatic rifle. This means that it fires one round each time the trigger is pulled, but does not continue firing automatically like fully automatic weapons. The AR-15 is designed for civilian use, while fully automatic versions, such as the M16, are military firearms.
ARmalite Model 15 but it very commonly thought to be automatic rifle.
The "AR" in AR-15 stands for "ArmaLite Rifle," named after the company ArmaLite, which developed the firearm in the late 1950s. It does not stand for "assault rifle" or "automatic rifle." The design was intended for use by the U.S. military, but it has since become popular for civilian use in various contexts.
Armalite Rifle model #15
The AR 15 is a semi automatic firearm- it fires one shot with one pull of the trigger. It can fire as fast as you can pull the trigger. However, that will NOT be accurate, aimed fire.
"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.
If I remember correctly, it was a Franchi SPAS-12 and an Armalite (which could've been made by Armalite in the US, Sterling in the UK, or Howa Machinery in Japan) AR-18.
The AR-15 style of assault weapon was designed by Eugene Stoner of the Fairchild Armalite corporation.The AR-15 is based on the 7.62 mm AR-10, designed by Eugene Stoner of the Fairchild ArmaLite corporation
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.
This is not a car and its definition is not related to cars either. CAR-15 (Colt Assault Rifle-15) is a familiy of M-16 and AR-15 rifles. Part of this family is the ArmaLite 15, better known as AR-15.
ArmaLite was created in 1954.
