Armalite is the company that designed and manufactured the original AR-15
under the guidance of the designer Eugene Stoner. Other weapons by Armalite
include the AR-10 (the M-16's bigger older brother), the AR-18 series and
several shotguns. The latest in the line (yes the company is still going) is
the AR-50 sniper rifle using BMG ammo.
