This is the only place I figured this thread would fall. This thread is for the hunters, shooters, collectors, it's basically the "gun thread". We can use this thread to learn, show, and teach...

Ill start with a small tidbit of uncommon knowledge most do not know. Most should all know that the Modern semi-automatic rifle known as the AR-15 was designed by Eugene Stoner.... What very few know is that AR stands for.... It is not "Assault Rifle", its not "automatic rifle", it actually doesn't have the word "rifle" in it.

AR is an abbreviation of Armalite, the company Eugene Stoner worked for when he designed the AR-15. If you go to Armalite's website you will see that they still use the AR designation today and also on weapons not associated with the AR-15.

Here, browse their pistols they all start with AR in the nomenclature.
