Original Note:
The AR-15 was developed as a military weapon. Colt uses the design in its M-16. It's semiautomatic rather than fully automatic like M16, but the congressman is talking about the level of damage it does to a human body, not its firing speed, so that's irrelevant. https://www.npr.org/2018/02/28/588861820/a-brief-history-of-the-ar-15
