Based upon the Military's M16, the AR15 is a standard by which all low caliber, high velocity rifles are measured against. Light to carry and fire, and more accurate than it's alter ego, the Russian AK47, the AR15 enjoys a massive following despite the continued talk of its poor durability and reliabilty in adverse conditions. The 5.56 x 45mm cartridge the AR15 fires has very little recoil, but is quite lethal because of the bullet's tendency to fragment when it impacts a target at 2700fps. The AR15 has a surreal array of aftermarket gadgets to improve its performance or tailor it to a specific type of environment and combat.
