Patch "MS/AR 15"

With the AR-15 model developed by Eugene Stoner and the ArmaLite company, the requirements of the US Armed Forces for a new way of individually arming the soldier were taken into account. As a consequence of the Second World War, the Korean War and a corresponding research programme (SALVO), it was felt that a high cadence (rate of fire) and large ammunition supply were more important to the soldier than precision and range. The infantry armament of the future should be a format between rifle and submachine gun, without losing much of its weapon effect. (Source Wikipedia)
