The armalight platform was designed back in the Vietnam era as the M-16, which is a true assault rifle, a military grade machine gun that is fully automatic...they are not fully automatic firearms. These are replicas or copies of the military grade which are fully automatic...Colt says what makes the AR-15 so scary looking to some people are the cosmetics and there is a reason the military style is so popular...because many of our servicemen and women as well as ex law enforcement are buying the rifle...
