You know it. You use it. The AR-15 is one of the most used rifles, only beaten by the legendary Kalashnikov AK-47 and its sisters and brothers. This applies to the real world, but also in airsoft. Every where seen, people use the AR-15 weapon platform in form of short-barrel entry guns to full length 20" marksman rifles.

And it comes in many shapes, both in form of AEG and GBB, with Magpul, with RIS/RAS, with plastic handguard, with carry handle, with SOPMOD stock and the list goes on and on and on. But that is just standard. People customize their rifles to suit their needs, and the AR-15 seems to be the most modular platform to work on.

Production of AR-15s in airsoft seems to be never ending. Everyone from small local companies to huge, international brands produce it. It may be looked upon as the most produced weapon in airsoft. It primarily comes in 3 shapes: M4, M16 and M15, the last mentioned being the only to not use a real firearm designation.

"The AR universe is in flux. Companies are popping up right and left (and dying in the sun, in many cases) and the plethora of painted ARs to be seen on the range is like never before. There's one simple reason: the AR has finally become the ultimate home hobby gun," the article by Tactical Gear Mag opens.

"You can build an AR in any configuration from an entry gun, with a 10.5-inch barrel in 5.56 (with appropriate paperwork, of course) to a twenty-inch barreled marksmanship rifle in 6.5. You can have iron sights, or a scope; you can have a stock that adjusts or doesn’t; and you can have a trigger that is breath-light or pliers-heavy. All this beginning on the same upper and lower, without even having to get a special model to handle something out of the ordinary. Unless you’re going to a cartridge that doesn’t fit the magazine platform, you can do it all starting with the same basic upper and lower. You can also swap from the original direct gas impingement system to a piston system, and back. (Well, some piston systems would make switching back a bit tough, but that is a small detail.)" it continues.

The article is on the real steel AR-15, but it can to translated to airsoft: Looking through random images of airsoft on the world wide web, one weapon is likely to appear on almost everyone: The AR-15.

In airsoft, durability of the individual weapon system is up to the parts within the system and gearbox, which is why the AR-15 and the AK47 cannot be compared on that point. But why post an article on real firearms?

Airsofters often try to replicate the real steel firearms and the operators who use them, which is why knowing more about RS firearms will often translate into airsoft, giving people more respect for the weapons.
