Yeah, it's not "Assault Rifle". Just saying.

Boner fuel AR is short for boner fuel

Great. Are you trying to get EVERYTHING banned?!

I have the AR-30 .338 Lapua, and it is just as bad as you'd expect it to be.
GreedyJungle
I want several.

I own 3 of those, AR-7, AR-10, & AR-15. All quite fun to shoot!

My step dad has an AR-50... its pretty damn awesome.
cuyborg
I have an AR7... Sorta. It's a Henry, and the receiver and barrel break down and store in the stock. Supposedly it floats.
Cobaltios
...That is not how abbreviations/acronyms work.
onlyhalfghost
but it is how the AR family got named, so call up Armalite's marketing team I guess?
Aelinsaar
Does it know it's an ad?

AR means assault rifle to me, but it's mostly because of Halo 3

At least since 1970 -- the army has used AR for Assault rifle: http://031d26d.namesecurehost.com/gunfax/fstcp67.jpg
SomeSortaPsycho
yea except the army doesn't use AR-15s... they use M4s... only civilians get any AR rifle

Wouldn't the AR-17 be an AS-17 then? Since AR stands for Armalite Rifle, and the AR-17 is a shotgun, not a rifle. Curious. Or is it ARmalite
Vyrro
Doesn't matter, they're all scary lookin', have 30 caliber magazine clips, and the thing on the shoulder that goes up...so they're evil
barnwolf
So, if they make an AR-15 with a shorter barrel does it became an AC-15 for Armalite Carbine?
ColtTheKid
No it becomes an SBR with a Tax stamp and a year+ waiting period
capnmal
That AR-17 is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
GeorgeHWBushsGhost
Ehh, I still prefer the AR-17 Rifle.
mikeatike
I belive it has to do with pirates.
CharlesFuckingBronson
The shotgun is a little confusing, though, since it doesn't have rifling
DoctorSnakebeast
It stands for what a Japanese alien says: "ayyy rmao"

So "Armalite" ruined it for EVERYONE. Why couldn't they just name the company "Fluffy Pew Pews"--good luck making that sound ominous.
BedsideTiger
Armalite revolutionized our ground troop's effectiveness in the field. AR-15 being so versatile, tough, and easily repairable.
Redmancometh
Not to mention customization and multi-role. My AR-15 turns into a .458SOCOM boar hunting rifle with 2 pins.
bamcockseverywhere
Well, us and the IRA
colbyku3
CNN says your wrong. Thousands of bullets in a single trigger pull.
onlyhalfghost
CNN wouldn't know an AR-15 from a PTRD if you hit them in the head with the stock.

Except for the AR-50.. that stands for Artillery Rifle
SteelFuelCantMeltBeamJets
I'm spooning a barret 50 cal. I could kill a building.
DeliciousMeats
Been there, done that.
sexconker
50 aint shit unless you're talking about a naval gun. Artillery is artillery, a .50 caliber rifle is still just a rifle.
onlyhalfghost
for scale to the uninformed, a typical artillery piece is 3-6 caliber (by small arms terminology.)

Anti-reality rifle, "look at the guy over there"..BOOM "what guy?" "oh, I must be seeing things"

Sir, you've just given me an idea for a story. Now to figure out what to do with it...

malikont
Truly an accurate statement. :)
Clancy117
Agreed.
Stoneface
Both accurate and precise, I hope.
The2020ElectionWasStolen

DeadPhish21
Surgically precise up to 2,000 yards, and a 'maximum range' 7,440 yards. That's over 4 miles. Let that sink in for a second.

406.4mm/50 US Naval gun. Range of 41,622 yards. 2700lb shell, with awesome fire control.

StizostedionVitreum
Sturmgewehr meant more assault-rifle. Abbreviations on manufacturers with the first 2 letters was pretty common during and after ww2.
Spetzna13
Sturmgewehr meant storm rifle to be more accurate. Sturm= storm, gewehr= rifle.
Spetzna13
Well it also could mean storm gun as well. Because gewehr is translated as either rifle or gun.
jsnen
Storm as in 'to storm a building'.
Frozenpasties
Well, pretty sureit also stands for "assault" or "attack" too. The English word is a direct translation, pretty much. Just saying.
StizostedionVitreum
Ja, ich weiss.
Spetzna13
Ok then just wanted to make sure you knew. Guten nacht mein neuer freund.
Ferrumkit
Sturmtigre legalization is my dream...
Frozenpasties
For instance, "zum Sturm blasen" translates to "to sound the attack", does it not?
[deleted]

Frozenpasties
"To storm" being quite literally the same as "assault" and "attack", and the two are certainly more correct translations in most cases.
Frozenpasties
For instance, in the case of "Stürmerreihe". My point being that "assault rifle" carries over the actual meaning of the word better.
