  1. To be honest, I don’t know what is the main difference by A&M for I know the size but it’s the most confusing. It’s almost looks like an M-16 or an M4. What is the most confusing? I’m not focusing on the the stock or the trigger or the gearbox I forgot what is it called but the barrel is like most different than the other rifles of M4 M 16. And AR right now. A few days ago I just turned 18. I was thinking to buy a firearm, maybe an M4 or an M-16 but at what I sell the law of state California I had to get an AR 15. I’ve been searching and searching. What is the main difference?

  2. You are wrong on almost everything😂😂 the AR 15 is the platform and used by civilians because it is semi auto only the m4 is an AR 15 with a military designation and select fire capability( in the case of the m4 semi and 3 round burst)

  3. Tye difference between the 2 is an ar15 I’d the rifle name and it’s semi auto, m16/m4 is the military designation name just like the sig p320 is called m17 or the new sig rifle is the sig spear, but military name is m7. Plus the fact an m4/m16 is select fire we’re the ar15 is not. You will never see a select fire ar15 unless it has an m16 select fire lower. Made before 1986. Or it’s a ffl demo lower. Otherwise the only select fire ar15 you will see is one stamped m4/m16 in the military

  4. I thought AR15 is just like a design/a template or how the systems work… and under Ar15, we got M16, M4 and others that look alike… just M4 created specially for milliary like that? Am I right, or did I miss something?

  5. ar is a platform invented by eugene stoner that was modified by colt and renamed to the m16. kinda wild how someone with all those guns is so blatantly wrong
