An AR-15-style rifle is any lightweight semi-automatic rifle based on the Colt AR-15 design. The original ArmaLite AR-15 is a scaled-down derivative of Eugene Stoner's ArmaLite AR-10 design. The then Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation division ArmaLite sold the patent and trademarks to Colt's Manufacturing Company in 1959. After most of Colt's patents for the Colt AR-15 expired in 1977, many firearm manufacturers began to produce copies of the Colt AR-15 under various names. While the patents are expired, Colt retained the trademark of the AR-15 and is the sole manufacturer able to label their firearms as AR-15. The "AR" in Colt AR-15 stands for "ArmaLite Rifle", not "assault rifle".

  • An AR-15-style rifle is any lightweight semi-automatic rifle based on the Colt AR-15 design. The original ArmaLite AR-15 is a scaled-down derivative of Eugene Stoner's ArmaLite AR-10 design. The then Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation division ArmaLite sold the patent and trademarks to Colt's Manufacturing Company in 1959. After most of Colt's patents for the Colt AR-15 expired in 1977, many firearm manufacturers began to produce copies of the Colt AR-15 under various names. While the patents are expired, Colt retained the trademark of the AR-15 and is the sole manufacturer able to label their firearms as AR-15. The "AR" in Colt AR-15 stands for "ArmaLite Rifle", not "assault rifle". The Federal Assault Weapons Ban restricted the sale of the Colt AR-15 and some derivatives in the United States from 1994 to 2004, although it did not affect rifles with fewer listed features. After the term modern sporting rifles was coined in 2009 by the US National Shooting Sports Foundation, a firearms trade association, it was quickly adopted by much of the industry. In the 2010s, AR-15-style rifles became one of the "most beloved and most vilified rifles" in the United States, according to The New York Times. The rifles are controversial in part due to their use in high-profile mass shootings. Promoted as "America's rifle" by the National Rifle Association, AR-15-style rifles' popularity is partially attributable to , or proposals to ban or restrict them. (en)
  • El fusil tipo AR-15 es un fusil semiautomático ligero, diseñado a partir del fusil de asalto AR-15, que a su vez es un derivado de menor tamaño del AR-10. La ArmaLite vendió la patente y los derechos de producción a la Colt's Manufacturing Company en 1959. Después que las patentes de la Colt caducaron en 1977, esta empresa conservó la marca registrada y es la propietaria exclusiva de la designación "AR-15".​ La restringió la producción y venta del Colt AR-15 y sus derivados entre 1994 y 2004, aunque no afectó a fusiles semiautomáticos más sencillos.​​ En 2009, la asociación de fabricantes de armas acuñó el término "fusil de cacería moderno" y este fue rápidamente adoptado por la mayoría de fabricantes.​​ Según The New York Times, en la década de 2010 los fusiles tipo AR-15 se han convertido en "los fusiles más amados y más vilipendiados" en los Estados Unidos.​ Han sido empleados en varios tiroteos masivos en Estados Unidos.​ En la cobertura de incidentes donde se emplearon diversas versiones de este fusil, con frecuencia se utiliza la abreviatura AR-15.​ Este fusil ha sido promocionado como el "fusil de los Estados Unidos" por la National Rifle Association, aunque la popularidad de los fusiles tipo AR-15 se atribuye en parte a las propuestas para prohibirlos o restringirlos.​​​ Cuando es fabricado con un cañón cuya longitud es menor a 406,4 mm y sin culata, legalmente es clasificado como una pistola en lugar de un fusil con cañón corto,​ siendo descrito como pistola tipo AR-15.
