2023-04-17 01:51:53 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

The rifle depicted in the article shows a pistol caliber carbine, not a regular AR-15 using high powered cartridges like a .223 Remington. Based on the photograph it is highly speculative if the carbine is even based on the AR-15 platform. The author is misleading the audience.
