Mestic Munitions AR-15/203 Assault Rifle

The overall success of the M-16 line of slugthrowing rifles, Mestic Munitions set out to design an advanced version of the M-16h heavy assault rifle. The resulting weapon was the AR-15, quite similar to the M-16 in appearance with their model 203 grenade launcher attached under the barrel. The AR-15, though superior, has not generally been widely accepted and M-16 sales are still higher than ever.
