Changes

Many weapons were designed with a direct design relation from the M16, M4, or members of the AR-15 family in general. They largely and intentionally look like AR-15s, typically have similar ergonomics, and may even be by the same manufacturer, but are not part of the family due to significant mechanical differences. Nevertheless, they may be variously referred to in the broad and vague category of "AR-15 style" rifles, and this list is mostly based on looks more than anything else. There is no "You may be looking for" links pointing to this page on the weapon pages listed below; this list only exists for indicative purposes.
