It stands for Assault Rifle, similar to the AK (Automatic Killer), FAMAS (Full Auto MASsacre), etc
The first Assault Rifle was made for Hitler's school shooter squads of the SS, who needed to operate with speed and silence, or risk getting discovered by Jewish social justice activists. They needed a magazine capacity of 30 rounds, an un-heard-of number at the time, because that is how many students were usually in the classrooms. There were over 60 of these squads by the end of the war. The US only needed a magazine capacity of 8 rounds, because we never shot at civilians in the war. The United States was only forced to adopt an assault weapon to protect US civilians in Vietnam from Russia's murder squads armed with the Automatic Killer 47. |

Evil black assault rifle!
M16 stands for murder 16 children! Armalite was owned by Mattel! Aimless assault rifle sounds good also. |

in other countries...AR15 is usually referred to as an 'Armalite', the AK47, simply a 'Kalashnikov'

Armalite Rifle 15
Personally, I prefer MSR. Modern Sporting Rifle. Change the narrative on them! |

Its an abbreviation for Assault Rifle, 15 bullets per second.
|
|
it doesnt have an official meaning, which is the problem
only anecdotal stories |
|
Since the ArmaLite SHOTGUN was called the AR17, I'd say it stands for ArmaLite.

Armalite is wrong. Some of the early AR-whatevers were shotguns, an auto-cannon, and even a gun pod if I remember right. Wouldn't make sense to be like, "That's the Armalite Rifle - 13, 30mm cannon" would it? Not surprising since the Armalite of today has next to nothing to do with the original company.

I like the current ArmaLite Inc., which is Eagle Arms acquiring the ArmaLite name from Elisco Tool and Machine from the Philippines. After Fairchild dropped their small arms development firm, Elisco somehow got a hold of the name. ArmaLite used to have this on their website, along with somewhat detailed history of the development/reverse-engineering of KAC's SR25 when David Doerbeck worked with Karl Lewis on the 1996 AR10, not to be confused with the real ArmaLite Fairchild prototype or Dutch AR10s of the 1950s/early 60s, or the Colt AR10A intended production AR10 of 1959 after Colt bought the Stoner gas system and AR10/AR15 patents. Anyone that claims AR stands for ArmaLite Rifle is then left having to explain the AR17 shotgun, and even the current ArmaLite Inc. AR24 pistol. Whether discussing the original ArmaLite, or the current ArmaLite, AR does not make sense if you say it stands for ArmaLite Rifle. |

I thought I had read years ago that it was short for Armalite Research. They did prototypes.

Assault Rifle
I heard it on CNN. It has to be true. They also mentioned something about Ain't yer Right to own one. |

Give the fucking media a few days.
It will stand for Alt-Right-15. #racists #LiterallyNazis |
