What does the "AR" stand for in the civilian AR-15? Armalite. The original manufacture.


Which civil war era firearm used the .58 cal Minie bullet?
Springfield I think.

Springfield I think.

The AR stands for Armalite Rifle
And it was Springfield Model 1855 Rifle Musket. It fired a conical bullet named after its French inventor Minie.

Tough one..

This pistol from the 1960's, did not fire "rounds" it fired "trounds"

Named after its inventors last name, what was the name of it? Please no googling! :)

Good one James, I had to look it up. After I saw it, recalled seeing a box of ammo for sale at a gun show. Now I know!!



Can anyone name this or what it was designed to do?

I don't think the image resolution allows you to see the name...at least I can't on the iPad.
