Historical Information

The M16/AR-15 family of firearms was developed in the United States. The AR-15 rifle, the original of the entire family, was created by Eugene Stoner at the turn of the 1950s and was later adopted as the M16. Since the 1960s—starting from the Vietnam War, through the Cold War period, and up to the present day—various versions of this weapon have been used by the American army and numerous other countries around the world. This weapon is characterized by high modularity, light weight, and reliability. To this day, it is ubiquitous in the military units of NATO and allied countries.
