Why did the AR15 become so popular in the US? Two reasons in my opinion: 1) Because the federal & many state governments tried to ban it, which resulted in many people buying one before the bans went into effect. 2) You mentioned it in your video: "The AR15 is the Lego of rifles." It's modularity allows an infinite variety of modifications & accessories to suit the individual person's physical stature/needs or intended application, such as hunting, competition, or home defense. Plus, the rifle's low-power cartridge & very low recoil is attractive to many people that don't like the heavier recoil of rifles chambered, for example , in 30-06, .308/ 7.62 × 51 NATO, etc. There are likely additional reasons for its popularity that I didn't mention.

I proved this theory once by sharing photos of my ruger 10-22 both before and after I swapped out it's wooden chassis for a for a black "tactical" style one. And asked why should I be allowed to own the wooden rifle but not the other. And the answers poured in. " That's an assault rifle." "That's a weapon of war" "That is a tool for killing the other is a hunting rifle." "An old wooden rifle isn't anywhere near as dangerous or capable as that assault rifle"... mind you. Same rifle, same specs, same rate of fire, no special optics or larger magazine, no pistol grip... Just a black frame.. absolutely nothing changed about the function or capability...same little tin can target shooter... yet people who know nothing about it judged it solely based on its appearance.

Let me preface that I own over a dozen AR style rifles and I’m against any and all forms of gun control. “It is a far cry from its battle ready cousin”… the difference is an auto sear, a very simple mechanism within the trigger that can be replicated with a piece of folded sheet metal; everything else is functionally identical. In fact, a quality Civilian AR-15 is in many ways better than what the average infantryman gets issued. Also, the auto function is very rarely used aside from suppressive fire, and even then the roll is best suited for a light machine gun to allow your rifleman to conserve ammo and lay down accurate, effective fire without overheating their rifles. An AR-15 is absolutely a “weapon of war” and that isn’t a bad thing, people need to understand the fact that citizens need to have the ability to take on the government with equal or greater force. The fact that you’re trying to downplay the significance and effectiveness of an AR-15 is exactly why we keep losing gun rights. Citizens SHOULD be able to own EVERY weapon that our military uses, that’s the entire point of the 2nd amendment

[@CrayT05]

But slightly less reliable than the AK but more accurate because it shoots smaller 5.56x45 compared to bigger and hefty 7.62x39 and about the maintenance ease, I think the AK would win the ease of maintenance due to its gas-piston action which greatly contributes to keep the moving parts clean

[@TheFlea1987]

Nice to see you mentioned the AR means Armalite and not assault weapon. I've brought new shooters or people who were interested in trying out firearms and let them start on a pistol. First something like a .22lr and then to a comped 9mm. From there I move onto rifles. They usually think the AR-15 is going to be scary even after seeing the difference between the 9mm and .223. But after shooting it, it quickly becomes one of their favorites to shoot. Had one shoot a bolt action .308 and they hated how much it recoiled and didn't want to try a shotgun.

I'm from Washington state and there's only a ban on new sales but there's a huge number that are grandfathered in. It's a good riflle but under powered. Getting shot hurts and that's been a thing in my life too many times but a 5.56 is significantly less devastating compared to a 30-30 or 300 blackout or 7.62x39. It's a small arms cartridge and the reason we have so many "pistols" chambered for the same round says a lot. I would like to have a conversation about this and I will check the comments regularly.

American Rifle 15 ❤

[@rossspragg612]

The government calls it a weapon of war, but no modern day military uses an AR-15 for standard issue. It's a great rifle though. I bought one a while back, and I can't wait to get it to the range.

[@Mobius1AC]

Even if it were a "weapon of war", so what? If you showed an M1 Garand with an actual body-count to someone who doesn't like the AR, they'd probably deem it a harmless hunting rifle.

[@JohnLLJ]

​@@Mobius1ACThe AR-15 was a weapon of war being it was used by the United States military in combat during the Vietnam war in 1961-1962. It is still used to this day but is not standard issue.

[@Mobius1AC]

​@@JohnLLJThe original Colt AR-15 design was adopted as the M-16 Assault Rifle. Colt then sold the design and a civilian model AR-15 was then created and sold to the public. The two are completely different as the M-16 was capable of full auto fire (and then later removed in favor of 3round burst) and the modern civilian version AR is semi-auto only. The civilian model looks looks like an M-16 from a distance, but doesn't have many of its features. To say the military used the modern version widely discussed today is disingenuous at best and malicious misinformation at worst.

[@Mobius1AC]

​@@JohnLLJand then again, so what? Many actual weapons of war would look like normal, harmless hunting rifles to the uninformed. My lever action was standard issue for Union cavalry in the 1860s.

[@JohnLLJ]

@Mobius1AC The AR-15 is the platform for an entirely different weapon, the M16. The AR-15 predates all variants of the M16 and predates it under combat settings. The civilian AR-15 also predates the M16. The military AR-15 is capable of automatic fire. My civilian version is also capable of full auto fire. Military weapons are civilian weapons. Machine guns are legal to own regardless of date of manufacture depending on license type. They are highly regulated though.

[@PorkChopSammie]

5.56mm/.223 is a really good round for small-medium game. It just so happens that humans fall into that category. The AR platform itself is popular due to the fact that the US federal government have been using them resulting in broad proliferation of the rifle and ammo. It’s easy to get. And they’re cheap. And reliable.

When any equipment is adopted by the military, they apply their own designation. Obviously we still have the AR-15, everywhere. When the Army adopted it for military use, They applied the military designation M-16 ("M" for military). As an Air Force veteran, it's what I got to shoot in basic training in 1985. I was brand new to rifles and even I shot so accurately I got a marksmanship ribbon. I never shot anything less an expert using that rifle and I was a technician on fighter jets.

I wouldn't call any single platform 'Perfect.' Like most tools, firearms come in a HUGE variety, style, and of course, caliber(s). Some are perfectly suited for 'X' purpose(s), while others are better at 'Y.' What the AR platform does better than any other is customization, and of course, ease-of-use. I trained and Qualified using the M16A2, then A3, M4 the M9 sidearm, and a large variety of other firearms, so the 'AR' platform is just second nature to me.

It's popular because it's lightweight, has an adjustable stock that it comfortable for a variety or uses, has low recoil, and takes a wealth of attachmients. It's unpopular because it looks military and it looks military because it was originally developed for the military. What is interesting is that most of the state legislation banning what they call "assault weapons" defined an "assault weapon" mostly on features regarding its appearance and not based on feature regarding how it functions. Appearance over function.

[@stevebriggs9399]

With a "traditional" stock, the drop at the comb is intended to elevate the barrel up closer to the eyeline of the shooter, good for traditional sights. Unfortunately, this creates a lever arm for recoil forces to push against equal to the distance from the barrel axis to the point of shoulder contact, creating a lot of muzzle rise. The point of the inline stock is to eliminate the lever arm and reduce muzzle rise. The drawback to this is that it places the bore axis lower with respect to the shooter's eye. Incorporating the sights into the carry handle was the solution to this problem. The "direct impingement" system is perhaps Stoner's best innovation, althought it was a source of controversy that contributed to the myth of inherent unreliability. The advantage of DI over piston operated is that it keeps the overall weight down and reduces the mass that’s reciprocating while the gun is operating, reducing "felt" recoil. Up to about ten years ago, if you wanted to start a debate guaranteed to generate butthurt, "DI vs Piston" was a good candidate. That said, there isn't a piston rifle that shoots as smooth as an AR with a rifle length gas system, although rifle length limits barrel length to not less than 18". A lot of the "tweaks" that were done to the AR platform stem from the difference between its original intended design and application (poking holes in Warsaw Pact helmets in the Fulda Gap at 600 yards with a 20 inch barrel) to poking holes in malnourished goat humpers from across the room with a barrel length that didn't make dismounting an APC a PITA.
