The AR-15 Rifle is a semi-automatic rifle created and produced originally by the ArmaLite Corporation and has since been the work horse of several armed conflicts worldwide it is the de facto standard on what a war rifle should be. It was designed by Eugene Stoner Armalite's top designer. Forged from air craft grade aluminum and polymer, the AR-15 rifle was made to be lighter and shorter than more traditional rifles of it's day. The fully automatic version of it is called the M16 rifle. When the AR-15 came in to use is was dubbed as the " Black Rifle " as most of the rifles of it's day were made of steel and had wooden stocks and were essentially brown and black rifles. The air craft grade metal was blued which appeared black and so was the color of it's polymer stock making it all black, hence the term the Black Rifle. The popular round of it's day was the 7.62 x 39 mm (AK47) round, but to due to it's large size most rifles caring this round could only carry 5 - 10 rounds in it's internal or external magazines. The AR-15 was designed around the smaller 5.56x45mm NATO Round which gave way to higher capacity magazines and soldiers could easily tote around anywhere from 15 - 30 rounds when the AR-15 made it's debut. The 5.56x45mm NATO round proved to be extremely lethal as it stumbled on entering a target and would create large gaping wounds. Today the AR-15 is a favorite for law enforcement, military troops and civilians who use it as a home defense or hunting rifle.
