I recently purchased a large encyclopedia of small arms.
It traces small arms back to when people threw rocks at each other (literally) and has a photo and description of virtually all of the small arms produced since then up to the present. Even devices for throwing things before gun powder was invented.
Nowhere does it even mention the AR-15. Even in the write up on the M-16 it gives no mention to the M-16's roots in the AR-15. It has a photo and description of the AR-50, but not one word about the AR-15. I thought it strange.
BTW, the book mentions that the BAR was originally intended to be fired from the hip to lay down rapid cover fire while a squad advanced. (Browning Automatic Rifle, military guys will know what it is). In fact, I recall some old war movies that showed just that, some gung-ho SOB charging ahead firing a BAR from the hip. When it proved to be too heavy and unwieldy for that purpose it settled in to its regular use of being fired from the prone position with a bipod. With the smallest man in the squad traditionally being the BAR man because he was the smallest target.

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
