I cant see the difference between a m15 and a m4 is there one?

M15= CA

sorry but that was kinda noobish, but yeah everyone doesn't know something sometimes, the company that makes the m4 full auto/ semi auto rifle is colt and the m15 series or guns is made by a company called armalite who makes semi-auto only weapons that look like the full auto m4's made by colt for civilians to buy, that is the only difference really except for that the trademarks are different, hope this is a valuable piece of info.

thats retarded if you ask me but thanks

it is quiete retarded I think too because I hate it when companies copy off of another gun and make it even crappier then before.

There are many different companies that make an AR type gun. Colt supplies the military i believe (anyone who knows for sure feel free to correct me). However i'd find it funny if a knock off company became known as a family of rifles... ie aramlite type rifles. Anyone who knows for sure who made the first AR feel free to pipe in. Never was interested in who was first

If I recall I believe armilite held the orginal rights to the AR series, until eugine stoner left armilite to work for colt, who recieved the first orders for the rifle, not from the army but the USAF, thanks to General Curtis Lemay.

Colt, FN, Armalite, Bushmaster, DPMS, Stag, Superior, Noveske, Amee-Tec, POF, HK, RRA. Shall I go on?

and you forgot trying to base weapons knowledge from video games like BF2, CS and MGS

My mistake. So when does tm make an RCP90 power gun yet? :D

I'm still waiting for TM to make the E-11 Standard rifle and the DLT-19 Heavy blaster rifle.

well TM made thier guns after the M4 becuase it is used by the military, CA made theirs after the AR15s becuase they are civilian used and CA means Civilian Army so why not? thats atleast what I heard...

And they're now made by FN, at least my A2 was. personally, I'd rather have an A2, made in Belgium than a Colt made in Hartford.

i thought CA was Classic Army... :? I'm confused

CA is Classic Army. You're not confused--airsoftbum2006 is.

Thats fantastic sergeant.

Yeah Stoner made the AR15, but the US Army almost didn't adopt it because Stoner was an immigrant and politically they thought it wouldn't look good.

isn't Colt's contract with the Army still in effect till 2008? I think they still hold the major contracts, it's just that a lot of sppecial operators who are allowed to buy what they want choose FN over Colt.

Don't know about that anymore- plus I wasn't Army, so I don't know what those pukes do with their weapons anyway. (lol)

I always thought that the difference between the M4 and the AR15 was the size. I think the AR15 origionally made with a fixed stock and the M4 was a smaller version with a shortened barrel and an adjustable teloscopic stock. I'm probably wrong but I was just putting my opinion out there.

OMG!!!!! make it stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!
