AR+

The AR-15 is a lightweight, semi-automatic rifle designed for versatility and ease of use. Originally developed by the American company ArmaLite in the 1950s, it is now manufactured by various companies. The "AR" stands for "ArmaLite Rifle," not "assault rifle." It fires .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO cartridges and is popular for activities like sport shooting, hunting, and personal defense. Its modular design allows users to customize many aspects, such as the stock, grip, and sights, catering to individual preferences and needs. The AR-15 has also been a focal point in discussions about gun legislation and safety.
