This carefully researched, newly revised edition of Duncan Long's classic sourcebook offers fresh insight into why the AR-15/M16 remains a favorite of soldiers, law enforcement officials, civilian shooters and self-defense experts. Long takes another look at the history of the "black rifle"; examines its many military and custom spinoffs as well as grenade-launching systems, SAW versions and experimental weapons; and even provides a detailed assessment of the OICW and other potential replacements being tested by the U.S. military. Also highlighted are the very newest accessories for the AR-15, with a hard look at which will enhance its capabilities - and which could get the shooter killed. This is the most complete and up-to-date resource available on what many consider to be the best rifle ever made.
