5 Reasons to Own an AR15

Updated: Jan 3, 2023

The "news" media has done their best to demonize the AR15. They call it an "assault weapon" which is a name that they created to make it sound scary.


They call it a "weapon of war" even though it has never been used in a military conflict.


They say all kinds of things and they are pretty much universally idiotic.

The truth is that the AR15 is a happy, friendly rifle and you should own one...or more. Here are a few reasons why YOU should own at least one.


1- Anyone can shoot it The 5.56 is anything but a major round. At 55 grains, or 0.1257 ounces, there isn't much lead heading downrange. That's okay because the AR15 is not immune to that whole "every action creates an opposite and equal reaction" thingy.


Put another way...little bullets mean little recoil.


If your 10 year old can lift 6.5lbs, they can easily shoot an AR15, especially if it has an adjustable stock as most do.


2-Parts, Accessories and DoDads

You can make your AR15 your AR15. With everything from optics, rails, bottle openers, chainsaws, shotguns...there is hardly anything that can't be hung off of your rifle. While I am more of a minimalist, lots of folks aren't. They can and do. The way that AR15s are festooned ranges from the mild to the wild.

3- Interchangeability


Want to try a different upper? No problem. Pull one pin and the switch is done. Being (generally) milspec, parts from any AR15 should fit most any other AR15. Something breaks, parts are easy and cheap to acquire. You don't have to specify who manufactured your gun. Something doesn't work? YouTube is there to teach you how.


4-Versatility


home defense? check hunting? check competition? check plinking? check It is a do-it-all platform. That said, the 5.56 is a pretty wimpy round so you will have to upgrade to an AR10 for larger game. 5- It Drives them NUTS The left hates guns and the AR15 is at the top of the list.


Why?

Who knows what motivates those freedom hating losers? But is sure is fun to see them lose their useless minds.


That hatred is reason enough to buy one.

And buy them we do. Just took a look at Sportsman's Warehouse 2021 35 best selling rifles, 17 are AR15s (2 are Kalashnikovs). We LOVE our ARs.


The AR15 is, by FAR, the most popular rifle sold in the United States.

How popular? National Shooting Sports Foundation estimates that over 20 million of them are owned by freedom loving patriots.

If you want to compete, the AR15 is a must. Want to hunt? Tough, light and easy to handle, it is a great gun in the field. Protect your family? The 5.56 may be a small rifle cartridge, but it is more powerful than most any handgun. The AR15 is simply a fun, versatile, friendly rifle.


Remember, you may not need an AR15, but whether you know it or not...you want one. Available at a store near you.
